This story is sad, but it immediately reminded me of a Simpsons episode where a grapefruit gets lodged under the brake pedal and causes an accident.

Transfer to WordPress
Well, I’ve moved my blog and the baby blog to the same blog on WordPress. This should keep me busy for at least a little while.
As a father to be, this product proved to be a bit disturbing. More disturbing was the coversation I had with Sharon a bit after seeing this product.
What if we had clear toliets? You could actually see stuff going down the drain and disappearing forever. You could also see where clogs are, and it actually went further downhill after that. Talk of mirrors and TVs in the bathroom helped steer the coversation.

The First Ultrasound
Sharon had her second appointment with the doctor yesterday. To our surprise, they did an ultrasound. From that, the doctor figured that Sharon isn’t really at 9 weeks yet, and is a few days behind, making the due date look like 2/11/06. The doctor also said that the first kid is usually late, so we might be looking at a baby on Valentine’s day.
On the ultrasound, I picked out the head and umbilical cord.

Astrologer sues Nasa over probe
This doesn’t make much sense to me. It really seems like a money grab. But I guess there are a lot of people out there that believe that astrology junk. It goes to show that you can sue for just about anything.

Hydrogen Fuel Rocket
I can’t say I ever put together rockets and set them off when I was younger, I can’t say I was never interested in it either. I did like blowing up stuff and I did build a potato cannon and shot potatoes at dumpsters. At about 30-40 feet, the potatoes tended to disintegrate when they smashed into the dumpster. Probably like the space probe did when it smashed into that comet today.

Chickadees Sing Complex Warnings
So chickadees are a bit more complex than the simple birds they look like. I guess more birds would behave like this too.
And I thought chickadees just added a random number of ‘dees’ at the end of the call randomly. Interesting discovery.

Vacuum Tube Car Stereo
It’s a huge car stereo with an old school vacuum tube. And it plays MP3s, and it’s got a couple meters with the needles instead of those fancy LED displays.
It looks a bit silly though, and at $950, it’s a big old hell no for me.

Fast Food Nation
I read Fast Food Nation on my flight to Phoenix, and it was pretty disturbing, especially the section on the meat packing industry. It also had a pretty damning account of the fast food industry and it’s marketing practices towards kids.
Even knowing all this, I still ate at Wendy’s tonight. And it seemed like any other Wendy’s that I’ve ever been to, with just a slightly different color scheme. The most disturbing part of it was just that there were so many kids there, eating the fries, drinking soda – not exactly eating well.

Sharon’s First Doctor Visit
Sharon made her first trip to the doctor on Tuesday. Not very eventful, in Sharon’s words, she was “violated,” and sent on her way. The only news out of it was that she has a current due date of February 6, 2006. So she’s about 6 weeks along now.
We took a picture on Sunday, and are going to take more pictures to track Sharon’s progress. Look for more pictures and posts in the near future.
