"Atrocities" Is Right

But at least he has a sense of humor about it: "[Tony Long's] previous atrocity against the cult of technology was inserting a hyphen in 'e-mail.'" [Via Doc]

From Your Blog To My Hips

Good thing it wasn't Dunkin' Donuts. Ordered last Friday (thanks, bOingbOing!), arrived today. Great transition item for when the sling is getting cramped but walking is a distant fantasy. So what if you feel like a moving van driver? It works.

HippyChick has swell shoes too. Which reminds me... (warning: things only of conceivable — and at best marginal — interest to new parents ahead):

• It's been nearly 9 months and I'm still flummoxed by the thick, fluffy padding they put in new baby shoes. Toss it? Use it to pad too-big shoes until they fit? Sew a pillow? Bear in mind, the inquiry in my case is mostly academic.


• Do those Hyland's tablets work for anyone, or are they just baby's first candy hit?

Very Big Day For P2P

Google In Small Pieces

Holy moly. Bit of a switch from the doom and gloom headlines this morning. Here's an unsolicited and sincere plug: ShareBuilder. For a very reasonable fee, ShareBuilder invests a set amount for you at regular intervals (I do monthly). You pick the stocks, it does the rest. Dollar-based purchasing lets you specify exactly what you want to spend, and shares are purchased incrementally to match the amount you set. This means a couple of things for the potential Google shareholder:

• If you only have a little to spare but are dying to own some of Google, you need not even buy a full share.


• If you set yourself up for automatic purchases, you won't have to remind yourself to buy in a few months after the frenzy subsides.
