Quick Trip metrics update:

• 28.5 inches (or 4.83896844 × 10^-12 AU) long, though it’s really tall these days. He spends most of his time upright.
• 19lbs., 4oz. (or 4.39014798 × 10^-30 solar masses)

New pictures and movies are up over at his site, including proof that he sleeps:

My new love? Yahoo Widgets.

There are only a few things I want to be able to look at at any time of day - weather, traffic, and pictures of my family - so being able to glance over and see my kid’s big grey eyes while I’m working is priceless.

My only complaint is that the fantstic Sol widget:

Don’t forget - in addition to that other Bowl, Puppy Bowl II is on tonight.

(There is also figure skating, sans Michelle Kwan. Such an event is much like golf without Tiger Woods or snooker without Ronnie O’Sullivan; watchable, but puppies playing will usually win out.)

I think my favorite Superbowl ad is the United one:

Very cool: you are here.

The Blizzard of 2006 dropped about 10 inches here in northern Virginia.

Trip, someday you’ll get to talk about this one the same way I talk about the Great Blizzard of 1978.

Only with less snow.

(Sorry! Couldn’t resist!)

Late night reading: great overview of the WMF Backdoor in Windows.

I have been wondering this for a while too: jwz asks if Filevault is worth it?

(My initial impression is no, use GPG to encrypt the important stuff, as Filevault has too many risks. But the discussion around it is moderately interesting — for those so inclined.)

Once I switched, it was only a matter of time.
