I had some fun this morning taking way too many photos. Most of them were crap, partly because the little one just won’t sit still! Even so, there are a few that turned out well. And really, what else could you expect with models this cute?!
UPDATE: I posted a link to an article on learning to be lucky, but had to delete it because I didn’t want this cute face to get pushed down the page. Maybe tomorrow I’ll be able to bring myself to add a new post.
Events beyond my control forced me to log on to Facebook again, and for once, I was glad I did. Here’s what I found. They’re not very big or very clear, but that’s me during my high school years and one photo of university. Happy viewing. And Alex, if you want it, I have the yearbook page with your photo. Or perhaps you would rather I made it disappear 
No matter what your state of mind is this Valentine’s Day, the iTunes Store has got you covered:
Happy Valentine’s Day!
After an extended visit in the land of Chrome, I have come back to Firefox. Why?
- Full use of 1Password
- I got tired of having to switch to Firefox for sites that weren’t working correctly in Chrome
- Userstyles, especially the one I use for Google Reader, which were not rendering properly in Chrome
I will miss how much snappier Chrome felt though. Sigh.

YouTube and my Mac do not get along. Actually Flash and my Mac don’t get along. As soon as a Flash video starts playing the fan kicks in, the computer gets too hot, the video stutters, and things get a bit crashy. At first I thought it was just me, but it appears Flash runs less well on the Mac than on Windows (unlike Windows, Mac OS X does not expose access to the APIs required to allow hardware decoding of H.264).
So what’s a Mac owner (or anyone who wants to avoid Flash) to do? Well, if you are using Google Chrome, Apple Safari (version 4+), or IE with the Google Chrome Frame installed, you can opt to use the HTML5 player instead of the Flash player. Using the HTML5 player, my computer is much quieter and less crashy.
Feather is another YouTube opt-in beta project. Intended for people on older computers, netbooks, or slow connections, Feather presents you with a stripped down YoutTube that is much snappier, especially on less powerful machines.
You can find these, as well as other in-development projects on YouTube’s TestTube.
