The most repeated phrase the children hear from me recently is "Pay attention to the world around you." Most frequently this is directed to Noah as he plays a game or gets too deeply into a book while Evan is nearby making a mess, getting stuck, or spilling something.

Long Shelf Life – Just Not THAT Long
I decided to clean out some of our kitchen cabinets. Just found 811g of Nestle Carnation Instant Breakfast powdered drink mix. Expired Sept 2001. Never opened. I guess we really don’t like this product.

Stupid Lawyers DMCA Comedy Central Clips on Youtube
Colbert joked about needing a check for $700million since roughly a third of all movies on YouTube were from the Colbert Report at the time of YouTube’s $1.6billion sale to Google. "Jon Stewart and Daily Show Executive Producer even encouraged viewers to watch the show on the Internet."
I received a couple of emails from YouTube this afternoon (see below) notifying me that a third party (probably attorneys for Comedy Central) had made a DMCA request to take down Colbert Report and Daily Show clips. [Source]
When will the lawyers and the RIAA et al realise that the distribution of clips on mediums like YouTube only create benefit and popularity for the program, artist, album and so forth. Can old dogs like Senator Stevens just not learn these new tricks.
Irritating Game
This game (click the British flag for English) has two balls and two paddles. As you move your mouse left and right the short paddle moves horizontally while the long paddle rocks left to right. The goal is to keep the ball on the long paddle from rolling off while not letting the bouncing ball past the small paddle. Very challenging!
