The storm was truly something to witness. I just posted a few pics on Flickr, shown to the right. It’s day 6, still no power in Kenmore – many of the streets around us do as of 6pm tonight. Hopefully tomorrow? We’ve been at my parent’s house for 3 days after 3 days in the cold and dark at home. Thank God they got power when they did.

Jack’s a trooper, Jen’s a rock and grandparents are the best hosts to have.

Some links for you…

Fantastic hosting at Media Temple – think I might make the switch from Godaddy.com for Wnymusic. Double the money but 5 gazillion times the features (SSH!)

Jack had a great time and didn’t mind the commotion of lights and BLARING METALLICA. That’s my boy.

I actually like the new uniforms. The navy blue is right up my alley and the logo, as hamsterish as it may be, does grow on you.

Tim has some video up…

It was featured in Steven Pinker’s 1994 book The Language Instinct, but is known to have been around before February 1992 when it was posted to Linguist List by William J. Rapaport, an associate professor at the University at Buffalo.
