Language
For the longest time Jane called us “Slow Folks” if we were running behind. Not “Slow Pokes”. And “Cockroaches” were “Hoproaches”. I still get a little sad when she calls them by their right name. Isaac can’t say “Popsicle”. He can say “Pop” and he can say “sicle”, but when he puts them together he’s [...]

Nitpickers of the world unite!
While installing Quicktime 7 this dialog box appeared: Tell me, Apple, where is the question? On another note, iTunes needs to get a clue about version numbers. Screw it, I don’t have time for that rant. :)

*yawn*
6:35a, on the bus going downtown to do my civic duty.
