Because I will forget to post these if I don't do it right now.

ZOMG, programming for kids. Scratch is a new programming language that makes it easy to create your own interactive stories, animations, games, music, and art -- and share your creations on the web.I will show this to Max tomorrow and he'll officially take over the world next week ( Read more... )

Today is a must-have-coffee type of day. Maybe it's just the clouds, but I want to crawl back into bed. At least the dishes and laundry are done, though... next up is vacuuming and cleaning the bathroom. I'm so excited.

Now I am actually excited about the bubble-gum fix I just put in place to prevent the spammers from signing up by the dozens on a ( Read more... )

Josh is due home any minute now... I'm so ready to see him. It has been a rough week, and he gives the very best hug therapy. He probably needs a little hug therapy himself; I know he starts feeling rather isolated being away from home so much ( Read more... )

My love is overflowing for WordPress. Today there were 158 SPAM comments awaiting moderation on Max & Khai's website-- which means that after a quick scroll-through to assure that none of them were actual comments, I was able to give a clickity to the 'mark all as SPAM' button and poof! They were gone! Not a one actually made it onto the site. It's ( Read more... )

I almost forgot! This makes me so happy: in the school closings section on one of our local news station's websites, there is an option to receive emails and/or text messages when your school district has a closure. YAY! As Josh noted, the internet is beautiful.

Now if my fridge could text me when we're out of eggs, that would ROCK.

Here, there and everywhere.

• JPG magazine's current call for submissions ends in ten days-- the themes for this issue are big, self-portraiture, and hometown. How is it that I know so many good photographers? You should be published!


• Live Simple: the website is a mess, ironically enough, but it's got some good information and some nice insights. ( Read more... )

These past few weeks have been a whirlwind; there's no sign of stillness in the near future, but that's all right. I've still got family in town, so while missing Josh terribly, at least I'm not feeling quite as isolated.

Does this mean I need to get a life? I get chills every time I see a preview for Battlestar Galactica. The new season starts ( Read more... )

I have so much in my head that wants to be written... but organizing it into actual, coherent sentences? It's not happening. Never in my life have I had problems writing out the contents of my head, but for most of this year I have just not been able to get the words out. It's disconcerting and just...bugs me more than it should ( Read more... )

This is for you, Eiwe-- Lazy Monday is a couple of 11-year-olds lip synching to the Chronic(WHAT?)cles of Narnia rap. Y'know, I was nowhere near that hip when I was 11. Oh, wait, I'm not that hip NOW. Max could probably pull it off-- he's a complete ham. Hammy Hammerton and then some ( Read more... )
