Where’s Santa? Where’s Santa?

Kathryn is attending DJ’s company’s Childrens Christmas Party. Photo taken December 12, 2004.

TELUS is blocking ports in the “name of security”. Yeah, right. Tsk, tsk. Methinks it’s more like “Show me the money!” (via Boing boing).

Well, we missed our weigh-in last Saturday for a variety of reasons, mostly because our schedules were nuts. Then we drove down on Monday, forgetting that it’s Family Day in Alberta, and lots of businesses were closed. Oops!

As DJ is on a course all weekend, I bundled Kathryn up and we went to check in. [...]

Come on, Dad. Let me at the pie!

I believe this was for ‘Grandma’ Isabelle’s birthday . Photo taken December 11, 2004.

I will conquer this baby gate!

There’s about an 7 inch step between the family room (carpeted) and the
kitchen (lino’ed) areas in our house. For quite a while, that step was our baby
gate, which kept Kathryn penned in the family room. That didn’t last long though.

Go to google.com and type the prefix movie: followed by the name of a movie. Shazam, movie reviews up the whazoo. This will be a huge time-saver.

See a man breaking all ten commandments before breakfast.

Hell if I know what they all are.

Again, and again, and again. And again.

I’m surprised that he didn’t break the CD at the end.

I surrender!

This is a variation of the “I’m the Winner!” (see previous entry) pose. By the look on Kathryn’s face it appears that she’s just been caught doing something she shouldn’t have. Photo taken December 04, 2004.

Note: Kathryn turns 13 months old today!

I’m the Winner!

Kathryn used to strike this “winner” pose a lot. She hasn’t been doing it much lately, but I managed to catch this one. Photo taken December 04, 2004.

Did you hear the one about the three Microsoft and three Apple engineers?

Auntie Sheila visited with her Halloween gifts for Kathryn. Photo taken November 29, 2004.

Daddy, will you kiss my owwie and make it better?

Kathryn had toppled over and hurt herself. Crocodile tears were the result. Photo taken November 29, 2004.

A post on David Sifry’s weblog announcing the Web Spam Squashing Summit seems to have an amazing amount of comment spam on it. Hmmmmmm.

I can juuuust reeeeach my toys.

Kathryn is reaching into one of her toy drawers. She often spends quite a bit of time pulling toys out followed immediately by putting them back in. DJ and I just wish that at the end of the day, she’d have put them all back. Alas, such is not the [...]

Robert Scoble is pissed. Rightfully so. Every once in a while, I start to think that some parts of Microsoft ‘get it’, and that the company might not become totally irrelevant. Then one sees what Robert’s talking about in this post.

Am I loud enough for you, Daddy?

Kathryn has a happy squeal that I swear should shatter crystal. Photo taken November 26, 2004.

Don’t squeeze too hard, Mommy!
