Alex just posted slides from his recent talk on Web Standards and how they help and hurt the web in general. Definitely worth a look.

Tonight we pushed out the code to light up http://i.bloglines.com, a version of Bloglines designed for the iPhone. We consider it to be pretty betaish, but it’s definitely useable and fun.

A big thanks to Joe Hewitt and the folks behind iUI for blazing this trail…

Paul has a much better writeup of where this came from..

Good socks make feet happy.

• Still getting settled back into the routine. Days go so fast now.
• Did some work getting the scons build + the Dojo build to play nice together. We did some evil things a while ago and unraveling all the evil is taking time.
• Cable guy showed up with our shiny new Scientific Atlanta 8300HD DVR. You can record two shows at once and it has an eSATA port on the back, though no word on if it works or how to activate it. Built in 160GB hard drive and so far it seems pretty darn ok. Picture quality is really really good.
• Made our standard garlic lemon roast chicken for dinner. Chicken Good.
• Jack’s growing like a champ. He put on nearly a pound and grew a good 1/2″ over the last two doctor’s visits.

And so ends paternity leave and vacation.  We now return to our regularly scheduled programming.

Thankfully, this is becoming a more and more frequent sight.

Things are moving along well. Jack is doing very well. We’ve been buttoning up various things around Tarrytown, visiting doctors and picking up medical records and packing boxes, all in preparation for the final move on Friday. We’re picking up a trailer from U-Haul later today, packing tomorrow morning, and finally getting our butts up to Saratoga. I cannot wait.

The grandparents have been in town for the week, spending most of it saving our sanity. I can never thank them enough for the help they’ve given us over the past week. I really don’t know what we would have done without it.. L&L Moving Co. saved our sanity. :)
