We belled our cat. It worked! While she had her bells, nothing died. Then she got the collar off. Today’s offering–a field mouse.

From the mouths of babes
I dropped the milk. The cap popped off and poured all over the floor.
Me: "DAMMIT!"
Evan, 4 years old: "Dad said dammit."
Mom: * gives Dad eyeballs *
Amy, 7 years old: "Moooom! Evan said dammit!"
Evan: "No, Dad said dammit."
Amy: "Don’t say dammit."
Noah, 13 years old: "Evan, don’t say that. It’s a dirty word."
Evan: "No! Dammit. Dammitdammitdammitdamitdamitdamitdamtdatmdaaaaammmmmmmit!"
Mom: covering her face in towels to hide her laughter.
Dad: hiding in the fridge unable to breath laughing.Uncle already! I get the message. Mouth meet soap.

From the mouths of babes
Moments after I posted Dad Fail, Evan walked up to me with a question.
Evan, 4 years old: "Dad, why do you always say…" He bent over at the waist at a 45 degree angle with his arms hanging straight down and in a deepened gruff voice, "crap crap crap crap crap crap crap…"
It just went on and on but in the end, it turned out he was repeating a noise from the Nintendo DS Mario game.
Please excuse the screwed up aspect ratio on the video but I did that in haste.

The oldest evidence I can find of myself on the Internet
I’ll update this as I find older. So far the oldest evidence I can find of myself on the Internet is an Oct 31, 1991 email recording my YES vote for the creation of the rec.juggling usenet group.
I sent my first packets of information over the Internet in the Fall of 1988. I loved Gopher and Archie and Veronica. I thought IRC was the second best tool in the world with USENET being the greatest. I avoided MUDs fearing they would cause me to fail out of school. I missed the boat on Mosaic writing it off as a bloated toy.

Life without a microwave
My family seems fairly convinced that prior to microwaves, all food was served cold.

But what does it mean?
"Being out of coffee grounds" sounds like it should be a metaphor for something. Btw, I’m out of coffee grounds.

And the beat goes on…
Spent the day frantically coding and troubleshooting a custom WordPress theme. Spent the evening cleaning up and configuring machines. Arrived home at 2am to…go to sleep?…no…to do more custom WordPress theme programming. In the morning I’ll
get children to school, drive Evan to preschool,(fall break) hopefully find more programming to do during the day (need me?), clean up my juggling gear, then juggle at the zoo from 5:30-8pm then either go to the end of a sweat lodge or go back to working on hardware. -
From the mouths of babes
Amy, 7 years old: "I’m not going in my room because Sarah is asleep in there."
Me: "Sarah isn’t in the house."
Amy: "Then what’s that big lump in the bed?"
Me: "Personally, I wouldn’t call my mother a big lump."
