The moment of the day, though, was all KidWonder: after waiting all afternoon for Dad to come downstairs to put the basketball set together, KW anxiously waited in his jumperoo as I [...]

I’ve decided I should randomly make my blog fail, just like Twitter. Twitter gets massive amounts of traffic, and the fact that it becomes unavailable on a daily basis (RoR Ho!) has become a sort of badge of honor, rather than something to fix. I got this idea seeing my thrice daily Twitter Error message [...]

Piggybacking on the fram post from a moment ago, I wanted to know what people thought the spammiest social network is. This would include spam friend requests, spam “look I added a text field, its a feature” pseudo-update e-mails, insite messaging, etc.

KidWonder gets his choice of entertainment, and… he’s no dummy, he goes right for Super Mario Galaxy:

Now throw your hands in the air, and wave ‘em like you just don’t care, and if you’re in the house, and you’ve found my other sock, everybody say, “Oh Yeah!”
