I found the following things interesting on twitter recently

icelander: We need to get Lancaster in on Google’s gigabit fiber experiment. Nominate us and get city officials to sign up. http://is.gd/86EC1

Yeah, I remember being disappointed about that too

As I was dropping Cory off at daycare this morning, a transformer blew in the parking lot. Boom-Flash, sparky sparky. We went into the building and half the building was without power. I told the staff that a transformer just blew outside. As I was putting Cory down he said, “Daddy, Transformer? Where is it? Wanna see it!” He was very excited that there was a transformer nearby.

I’m pretty sure he was looking for a robot in disguise.

Sorry, kid, in the real world transformers are just trashcan-looking-things on the top of utility poles that if you’re lucky you might see blow up really pretty in a storm. They hardly ever fight over energon cube production or ride space bridges to Cybertron.

I Know A Young Toddler

Posted: November 2nd, 2009 | Author: Jay | Filed under: General | 1 Comment »

Cory’s recent medical history, in song:

I know a young toddler who had an ear ache
I don’t know why he had an ear ache
For goodness sake

I know a young toddler who ate amoxicillin
That turned out to be quite a villian
He swallowed the ‘cillin to get the ear ache
I don’t why he had an ear ache
For goodness sake

I know a young toddler who’s covered with hives
Which itch and and offend your eyes
He got the hives from the ‘cillin
He swallowed the ‘cillin to get the ear ache
I don’t why he had an ear ache
For goodness sake

I know a young toddler who ate benadryl
which every 6 hours he must swill
The benadryl combats the hives
He got the hives from the ‘cillin
He swallowed the ‘cillin to get the ear ache
I don’t why he had an ear ache
for goodness sake

I know a young toddler who was prescribed a steroid
To return him to shape more hominoid
The steroid helps the benadryl
The benadryl combats the hives
He got the hives from the ‘cillin
He swallowed the ‘cillin to get the ear ache
I don’t why he had an ear ache
for goodness sake
