Went to the WWDC2002 bash at the Apple campus in Cupertino last night. That is one AMAZING campus! I'd been there once before, but never made it into the inner quad. They have a BUILT IN stage, and the place looks like a park. Very cool. If anyone from Apple ever comes across this... Wouldn't... »

This is One Cool Conference. And, lotsa really interesting sessions, too. Just sat in on the first part of the Java Web Services session (room was packed, had to stand at the back).

Had a minor snag when trying to get screenshots of ALOHA, but reverted to an older version and... »

Had our ultrasound yesterday, and got to see Sprout for the first time. Very cool. The kid actually turned to look into the "camera" (I'm sure it was thinking something like 'what the hell is all of that noise?') Had some embryology flashbacks - vertebrae, bones... Saw 10 fingers and toes. 2 arms. 2 legs.... »
