I’ve recently started using a few online tools to meet my needs: Flickr for photos; del.icio.us for bookmarks; Listal and LibraryThing for books; and even Extratasty for my bar. (more…)
“Social” Tools
Qlivia

For Christmas Olivia received some really cool foam mats. We set up a whole play space in the basement, as well as a small pad for the living room. She’s been having a grand time with them lately.
Pink World
January 21, 2006
Having an 8-month-old daughter, there’s a lot of pink in my life. Pink pajamas, pink onesies, pink shoes, pink snow suits, pink eyes.
Yes, pink eye.
Last Saturday Olivia developed conjunctivitis (commonly referred to as pink eye) and today it has moved on to me. Luckily it is only in one eye and I’ve already started antibiotic drops. After just a couple of drops, Olivia’s eyes cleared right up, so I should be in good shape by tomorrow.
Bonus points to anyone who can identify the musical reference in the title.
Backup Solution
January 19, 2006
So, with all of the digital images we’re taking now, I figure it’s probably time to get serious about backing up the data on 7X’s hard drive. It’s got a 120 GB drive, and currently only about 20 GB needs to be backed up. Even with redundant (daily, weekly and monthly) copies it’s not a lot of storage. (more…)
Nabokov

So, reading Lolita for the first time as a 30-something man with a new daughter is, perhaps, not the best combination.
But it’s a damn fine novel.

Olivia Gallery
January 8, 2006
OK, since it’s taking me forever to build my own galleries — and the one gallery make I have is nice, but still requires too much manual editing on my part — I’ve decided to try out Flickr.
So, for those asking, the first Olivia set is up.
(There are sets for viewing and printing at Walgreen.com, but that requires registration. This gallery does not replace those, just augments them pure viewing without registration.)

Olivia has sprouted a second tooth — the bottom, front left. That makes both lower front teeth coming in. She’s very happy with them and can’t wait for more as they will make eating those Cheerios much easier. (more…)
