Roddick: I'm not dead yet!
Ouch! And I thought I was brave, playing 1.5 hours of squash last night. Good thing Andy's so young. :-)

Mitnick free at last
Wired: Live on the Web: Kevin Mitnick
Woz gave Kevin Mitnick a new PowerBook G4. Sweet. I read Kevin was selling his old computers on eBay to be able to afford a PowerBook... I wonder, will he still sell those computers now? :-)
Xavier finally likes to walk
Xavier started walking the week after Christmas last year. But only if we'd beg him to. :-) He hated doing it, even though he could, preferring to crawl instead.
This week he started doing more walking on his own... but today, I think today's really the turning point. He walked a lot more than he crawled today. He even turned around, 90 degrees, 180 degrees, walking in circles, and even trying to walk fast to catch up to his sister.
So down the road, when we wonder, when did Xavier start walking, I think we'd have to say, 2 days before his 1st birthday.
Way to go boy!

Xavier's Icy Squares
Yesterday, Xavier somehow managed to get at a bowl of Icy Squares that had been on the dining room table and plow through about 2 of them before I caught him.
Rather than clean him up, my first reaction was to grab the camera and take some pics. :-) Here's the first one:
Cyan denies any involvement whatsoever.

iPhoto prints are great
I recevied my 100 free 4x6 Kodak prints from Apple today, which I ordered via iPhoto using my .Mac photo credit. They look... AWESOME. Truly, the quality of the prints rivals or beats the output of my 35mm camera (which sucks, admittedly).
I had 1200 pictures in my iPhoto library to choose from. It took me a few hours to go through them all, select 100, and then crop them nicely to a 4x6 constraint. But it was worth it.
