Things And Relative Diversions In Stuff

…Steve Jobs would have lived long enough to get his conciousness uploaded.

My parents bought an Apple ][c when I was about 5 or so. it was the family computer until I graduated from high school. As far as I know, I could still pull it out of my parents' closet and play Carmen Sandiego or Neuromancer, if I was so inclined.

Sad news, if unsurprising. My condolences to his family and friends.

Dear random Hebrew Childrens CD Singer Person,

If you want your album to be taken seriously, it'd help if you could actually speak Hebrew. Seriously.

Very glad that we found your CD at the library...

-A

-Mildly overpowered First Aid kit? Check.

-Five gallon thingus of water we've had sitting around since the Aquapocalypse last summer? Check.

-glow sticks or flashlights stashed in most rooms? Check.

-Food? Check.

-phone? Plugged in to charge, femtocell in the closet in case the cell network goes down, but internet stays up. Just need to plug it in (assuming power stays up....)

-Baby? Adorable!

Why are you chewing on my kneecap?

When watching a film in a foreign language, you need to actually pay attention to the subtitles, or you lose the plot.

That said, I'm enjoying The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo a lot.

I may have to do this with RAB when she's old enough...

-Shavuot was lots of fun. Potlucks were held, dessert was eaten for lunch, there was cheesecake and blintzes.

-RAB's Canadian citizenship certificate arrived. It's probably tied with her passport for cutest diplomatic document photo ever.

-I've just finished reading Daniel Wilson's Robopocalypse. While extremely entertaining, it felt a bit like World War Z with robots and rampant AI.

-I'm considering upgrading my macbook to OSX 10.7 when it's released this summer. I'll need to get some more RAM first, and it looks like my laptop will still be at the bottom of the upgrade curve.

RAB has figured how to reliably roll over from her back to her front. Each time she does so, the timeline runs something like this:

-For the first twenty to thirty seconds, she seems very proud of herself, and smiles at everyone in the room.

-Immediately after this, she remembers just how much she hates being on her stomach, and gets frustrated and upset until someone rolls her back over. Thus far, she's only been able to roll herself from front to back once.

-About twenty minutes ago, I peeked in on RAB as she slept. She had managed to roll herself over, and seemed uncomfortable. I rolled her back and she settled down, all without waking up.

The only cleanser with a schizophrenic episode on every bottle...
