I don’t think all of this was shot in Austin, but there are a couple shots at Sandy’s and the florist next door, and I’m willing to bet the bike park is the one on 9th street by the old Whole Foods.

That’s one down 26 to go. I think this time I should pick a 5k to have a concrete goal at the end of this thing.

Sadly Peyton Jayne, the last cat in our household, passed away today. She fought to the end, but it was just her time to go. We took her out to the in-laws place outside town and put her to rest in the Texas hill country. I like to think she will be happy out there. Now I just need a sad country song (@Sazerac I’m lookin to you with your recent Drive By Truckers kick).

I finally got around to making labels for what’s left of the batch of beer I made on Thanksgiving day in anticipation of Penny’s arrival. It’s just in time for her two month birthday. Maybe it’s just the lack of sleep talking, but it feels like she’s been around for a lot more than two months.

Thanks to Patrick for the idea to call the beer Hello World.

NoteTote for Mac OS X

NoteTote for Mac OS X:

For those of us who work behind a firewall this could be quite a wonderful, powerful utility. Seems well worth $5 to me.

minimalmac:

I don’t want the week to pass without taking some time out to thanks NoteTote for sponsoring this week’s RSS Feed. NoteTote lets you remotely tell your Mac at home to download files. That’s it. Just leave NoteTote running in the menubar on your home Macintosh and when you’re out and about, use Simplenote on your iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, any Mac or PC Simplenote client, or any internet-enabled computer to give your computer files to download. Your Mac at home downloads the files, and they’re ready for you when you get home. Simple, secure, no technical wizardry required. I use it and love it. You will too.

I’ve been saving this since I left PDX for something special. This is the first chance I’ve had to sit with friends and share since Penny came along. Hope it lives up to the hype.

P.S. It totally lived up to the hype. Very smooth from the aging and well worth the wait.

What The US Could Learn From Finland About Education

What The US Could Learn From Finland About Education:

Interesting read on how the Finns have tackled education. I have to admit their public schools sound a lot more like our super expensive private schools. However, given that we are cutting teacher jobs at the current crappy salaries, I don’t know how we could ever achieve something like this in the US.

It was definitely a nice quiet morning to be out walking the dog. It’s always satisfying to be the first one to walk on a fresh snowy sidewalk.

Bodhi didn’t so much care about the snow. He really just wanted to play fetch. Lucky for my tiny snowman Bodhi managed to avoid pummeling him while we played so I could get this shot.

Cross-Posting, Reblogging, and General Baby Spam

Sat, 01 Jan 2011 20:54:09 -0600

For anyone who does read this blog and doesn’t want to read about my baby I apologize for the extra posts. I keep forgetting to change which blog I am publishing to especially when posting from my phone. Anyway, I don’t think anyone is really upset, but be prepared for lots of random posts and double posts until I get a better system in place.

Baby yawning is so much more exciting than going out on New Years.
