Kids See Santa 2010

Tammy took Mazie and Tyler for their annual trip to see Santa Claus. Mazie was super excited to see Santa and tell him what she wanted in her stocking. Tyler seemed less excited to see this strange guy in a big red suit. 🙂

Smaller Desktop Footprint

For many years now I have sat down at my desk in front of giant monitors. I’ve wanted to become more nomadic in my computing and am going to try to ween myself off of a big 30" external monitor. This will be my setup for the next few weeks.

Got my Glif!

My Glif arrived in the mail today! I was one of the many backers on their Kickstarter campaign. This little widget is to allow you to place your iPhone 4 in all sorts of interesting ways, including putting it on a tripod.

I already used it to tilt the iPhone up while displaying a recipe on the kitchen counter.

Mazie Español

Mazie has been taking Spanish class at Burroughs and today they had a program where all the kids showed their skills. They named fruits, shapes and colors. They had some fun games that the kids played all in Spanish. I was impressed with how much she and and all the other kids had learned. She did an awesome job!
