Child Management

Impending Baldness

I have spent the past seven years convinced that I am in the process of losing my hair. The evidence seems to suggest I will. Neither of my grandfathers had hair. My dad doesn’t have much. It looks like my fate is pretty much sealed. I resolved l...

Another Life

I just had the weirdest feeling. I saw a picture on Bruce Sterling’s weblog that looked eerily familiar to me. It took me a few minutes to figure out what it was, where I had seen it, when that was, and who I was with. I am nowhere near where I t...

a rather productive day

I feel pretty damn good about the changes I made to iRooster today. I finally settled on a new design for the Alarm Editor (a picture of the old design is the link there). It’s a little bit more complex, but not too much. Also, this is rather unav...

Michelle Lai blinded me with science

A line from my stats page: 62: 6.72%: dolby.com life is rather boring at the moment. I discovered today that my productivity goes through the roof when I’m not actually at work. Around 3 yesterday afternoon I attached a “working from home” pos...
