On maintaining multiple blogs

The other day friend of mine wrote to me to ask about how I keep up with blogging for Daddy Daze and The Parenting Post, as he’s about to begin a similar arrangement himself. I sent him my answer earlier this evening, and thought I’d share the jist with all of you. It’s not anything that’s going to change the world, but it has been working for me.

A few more thoughts on the iPhone

First, does anyone else think that the hand in the following photo looks a little too perfect? Am I the only one who thinks it’s a CGI hand?

Lust

I want it. Badly.

Is there any greater joy?

I imagine there is no greater joy than being the catalyst which makes another person’s dream come true.

Back in October, Damomma reeled when her daughter asked for a flying butterfly suit for Christmas.

I was just as taken aback when I saw that she actually made it happen. The ear-to-ear smile in picture #3 is one of the most heart-warming things I’ve ever seen. Well done, Damomma.

The definitive example of Occam’s razor

My friend Damien posts a puzzle for you to solve. As you work, please keep Occam’s razor in mind: "All things being equal, the simplest solution tends to be the best
one."

Be careful, happy can happen at any time

I had a lousy day at work, and arrived home exhausted and defeated. All I wanted to do was sink into the couch, switch off and absorb some mindless TV. As I sat there, my daughter appeared in front of me wearing her Cinderella dress-up costume. "Well, hello, Cinderella," I managed to get out.

"Hello, prince," she said.

And suddenly I felt perfect.

O

If you don’t own a copy of "O" by Damien Rice [iTunes link] your existence is not as good as it could be. Like Natalie Portman said in Garden State, this album will change your life.

In fact, I’m so eager to share it, that I’ll gift a copy from iTunes to the first person who requests it via a comment to this post. Congratulations to Jonathan. Enjoy.

Spirited Away makes your Mac less distracting

Computers are great tools for getting things done and generally being productive. They’re also used for fun, like photos, music, movies and more. It can be tempting to abandon that article you’re writing so that you can play with that website that’s behind your word processor. Next thing you know, you’ve blown twenty minutes. You need Spirited Away.

There are no more babies in this house

So last weekend I took the kids to get haircuts. I know I’ve mentioned it before,
but I’ll say it again: We go to the coolest salon around.
