March 13th, 2009

Hooked on phonics have some good deals right now. 75% off plus there’s a 40% off code (save40).

So I looked at what they have, registered and placed an order. I am thinking I should cancel my order though!

Read the email they sent me, are these people going to teach my kids? I am having second thoughts now.

Windows 7 can’t do simple Math??

January 24th, 2009

I installed Windows 7 beta on both of my computers the day it was supposed to be released, I haven’t used it much on my desktop though until today.

One of the websites I visited prompted me to install the Flash Plug-in, not something I haven’t seen before. OK, let’s install the plugin, it should only take a minute right? Scratch that!

Paternity leave.

January 22nd, 2009

I decided not to take much time off work immediately after the baby was born, I thought it would be better to save those precious vacation/personal for a stormy day or days.

The stormy days are here! My mother in-law went back home last Sunday, she’s been a lot of help but all good things must come to an end. I know a lot of you are gonna be perplexed. Yes I do get along with my mother in-law!

One of my favorite sites to hunt for good deals is Slickdeals.net, I have a few Deal alerts set up on that site. To set up a Deal alert, you simply provide a keyword and tell it that you want an instant notification to your email address.

One of my alerts consists of one keyword: “Baby”. I found out this is a great way to know about a lot of the baby related products out there, I mean some of them I didn’t even know they existed, weewee blockers is a great example! Read the rest of this entry »

As soon as we learned we were pregnant with our second baby I started thinking of a simple way to track feeding times. I knew it had to be a touch-screen solution for it to be convenient, and since I have a 3com Audrey internet appliance; I thought I’ll just put together a Javascript based timer and have it all web based. Sweet, sounds like a great idea, how do I execute it?
