Beach day

We went to the beach yesterday with my daughter and her cousin.

The best part was just hanging out with Emi.

And now a word from Paul Vixie

I've had these words up on my wall at work for a little while.  I thought I'd like to stick 'em here also.  It's an interesting comment and I've been thinking about this for some time since I first read it.

This is from the NANOG list on November 2nd, 2008.

the human, as a species in the animal kingdom, is known to be the kind of animal who fouls its own nest and overruns its habitat. the idea of a tipping point, whether it be for CO2 in the atmosphere or polar ice shelves or explosively deaggregated IPv4 routing tables, does not occur in the minds of individual decision makers. instead it's left to us "chicken little" types, and the only way the individual decision makers ever make their decisions on the basis of tipping points is if some kind of "governance" makes them do so.

Google docs publishing to blog - the title is missing

Last time I tried this - the title wouldn't publish.  Let's see what happens this time....

Webtop applications

Wordpress via webtop shortcut in gears mode running on chrome = decent application experience.

I think Google is pushing the state of the art in the right direction.

Homestay

We have a new houseguest recently.  A very nice person.

When I was younger, I took advantage of the kindness of five families as a student in a foreign country.

The last few years, I've started to repay that debt by paying it forward.

It's  wonderful world.
