THE LITTLE GYM AND TODDLER HERD-THINK Lori and I take the Toddler to the Little Gym, a place for toddlers to go hang out with other toddlers and do some semi-directed activities designed to build confidence and muscle. We think it’s really very good for him, and he attends with his cousin (a Cisco Spawn – Shhhh), so he gets even more benefit than most of the children there. One thing that is definitely a truth though is that when kids behave correctly, the other children don’t even notice, when a child misbehaves, all the...
EVERYBODY’S DOING IT (or letting you do it) One of the more interesting bits to come out of recent news is EMC jumping on the primary storage dedupe bandwagon.

The Network Infrastructure and Storage categories both have a wide array of different technologies under them, makes voting difficult and watching who comes out ahead fun. We believe in...
So Lori has a way to insert social media icons into her posts, I thought I'd try to one-up her. SO this Bookmarking widget for LiveWriter just... Does it. All the stuff at the bottom of this page is created by Insert Bookmarking Tags from the WLW Plug In directory. I'm lazy, this was easy. I like. I also finally downloaded the Polaroid blogging tool, here's a test of how it works... Seems pretty cool to me. And yes, that's our youngest child in the picture. So all in all, good stuff. Assuming these links work after...
