Month: December 2003

A gazetteer with many fun links, courtesy of David Galbraith, who found the link via Research Buzz.

I don’t, publicly. Just an internal blog. If I did want to blog at work, I’d follow the links from this page and see if I’ve missed anything.

I read part of this NYTimes review of digital learning devices, like the LeapPad, which the boy has and enjoys from time to time. Other alternatives mentioned here, although from a quick scan, sounds like the LeapPad is still leading the pack.

…of the study for a few nights, as we try and get the girl over her cold and prepared to sleep in the crib in the same room as the boy. I’ll use that as my excuse for lack of postings. The ratcheting up of my workload at the office plays an indirect role, too. It’s a short stretch to the bigger holidays, but it’s going to be a busy period.

I forgot to mention that we got the iChat AV working wonderfully with the iSight and our Canon DV camera on two different computers in the same household. Good incentive to upgrade to Panther, so now we’ll see how long it takes my sister to upgrade her computer in Brooklyn.

Also, once I found the right setting, the VPN software in Panther just works. That is so nice. I don’t know if I’ll ever undock the ThinkPad at work again, thanks to Remote Desktop Connection client for MacOS X. Maybe it’s time to ask for a cheap desktop with more power, since I swear I can hear the 3+ year old ThinkPad CPU heating up now and again.
