Motorola v600 - cell phone heaven
Thanks to all who gave me input a couple weeks back on my cell phone purchase. In the end, I went with the Motorola V600, a truly beautiful phone. It’s now down to $99 at Amazon.com (after rebates), which is a great deal (it’s $200 more if you buy direct from AT&T).
What I love about […]
MRI is negative
Doctor tells us that Robby’s MRI is negative, ruling out all manner of neurological issues that might have explained the various things he’s dealing with. It’s good news. Very good news.
Thanks again for all the good wishes. Helped a lot.
Back from the MRI
No results to report — won’t know anything until tomorrow. But Robby went under without a problem, spent nearly an hour in the MRI, and came out from anesthesia like a pro. Should hear tomorrow from the doctor.
In related news, I’ve set up a test moblog with TextAmerica — go to the home page and […]
Update on Robby
I tend not to post overly personal comments here, because the object of this blog (to the extent that there is one) is to participate in conversations about technology, business strategy, law, politics, etc. with others out and around the blogosphere. But I have written a couple things about my youngest son over the past […]
The square root of stupidity is…
Still one of my favorite blog entries, from two years ago today.
D-Day Memorial
The first time I went to Normandy I was amazed that anyone made it ashore on D-Day. Those cliffs are high, and the beaches are wide. It’s humbling.
The American cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer is a must-see, too. [EdCone.com]
Add another to your list, should you find yourself in Normandy: the Musée de la Paix in Caen. It’s […]
Reagan clarified the clash of ideas
That’s the money quote from Will Saletan’s latest column at Slate, where he takes the money quote from Reagan’s farewell address in 1989:
“There’s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: As government expands, liberty contracts.”
Saletan goes on to write, “In clarifying his own views, he […]
Photoblogging with Movable Type?
Anyone aware of an easy way to add a photoblog to Movable Type? My new cell phone arrives tomorrow, it’s got a camera built in. I’d like to experiment with setting up a family blog that will have the ability to take pictures and have them uploaded to the blog automatically. I know there are […]
Ronald Reagan, RIP
Stephen says it best: “as a kid, Reagan was the very definition of a president.” I was 9 when Ronald Reagan was elected. My family was very much Republican at the time (my Dad worked on George W. Bush’s 1980 presidential bid), and I liked Reagan. I remember playing in Scott Prudhomme’s front yard when […]
Cars with Easter Eggs
Just the other day, Ernie complained about his Treo: “I conclude having everything dependent on software (and software upgrades) creates its own set of annoyances and problems.”
True, but there’s also an emerging trend (trend? well, two that I know of so far. Good enough for me) in automobiles that have more and more software: Easter […]
