Blah, I’m tired

Blah, I’m tired

I had high hopes of recapping our weekend tonight, but I suddenly find myself very tired. And our weekend wasn’t terribly interesting. The highlight of the weekend (I guess) was taking our annual family photos. This is the first time we’ve had to do it with two kids and it kind of like herding cats. [...]

More experimentation on babies

More experimentation on babies

Last month, I wrote about taking The Girl to participate in a language development study up on campus and today we were back in the Psychology Building again – actually just a few doors down the hall – to donate our baby girl’s brain waves to science. Today’s adventure had to do with the Infant [...]

Experimentation on babies

Earlier this week, we hauled The Girl up to campus so she could take part in a little experiment that the psychology department is running. Don’t worry, no mazes or shock treatments were involved – just monitoring of the blood flow in her wee little head.

SXSW: Day Five

Ah, all good things must come to an end I suppose. And so today was the fifth and final day of SXSW Interactive. In some ways, I wish it could have gone on for another week. The sheer amount of “cool stuff” that I was able to take in from the various presentations and panels was [...]

SXSW: Day Four

Today was a very gray and very rainy day. The sun managed to poke out late in the afternoon, but for most of the day it was just cold and wet. The rain and thunder this morning apparently made for some soothing white noise, so much so that I slept through my alarm and had to hustle [...]

SXSW: Day Three

And on the third day there was a billionaire man-child, a crowd of unruly tech fanboys, a Hawaiian with a twisted sense of humor and some other stuff. Just another day here in Austin. Things kind of got off to a slow start this morning. Saturday night’s parties and the first morning of Daylight Saving [...]
