Love it.
Alec Baldwin may be quickly becoming a self-parody, but this is funny.
And true.

I am an idiot.
For most of today, I have been trying to find a way to recover almost 60 GB of images that I’m pretty sure have been sacrificed to the MTBF gods. A little while ago I ran into a bit of a problem where my Aperture library was growing too large for my laptop’s primary disk, so I moved it onto an external drive temporarily while I could figure out a backup solution.
I had planned on implementing at least a partial backup solution at some point within the next couple of weeks (something about which I will write a little later in this post). I wanted to take the time to properly plan it, ensure it was redundant and as bullet-proof as I could make it, and then fully implement it and get it ready to go.
Unfortunately, this is exactly the time when that external hard disk decided it didn’t feel like working anymore.
Padres @ Cardinals 4/2/2011
We took the kids out to the ballpark last Saturday in a bit of spontaneous action. I didn’t get as many shots as I normally do, but a few of these do a great job of showcasing what an amazing ballpark we have here in St. Louis.

(I titled the post that way just to get my coworkers’ attention. It probably worked.)
My son wrote a “book” for me this morning with a story of his own creation. In the back of the book was an opinion poll:

My youngest daughter is what can only properly be termed a “free spirit.” This is an example of the kinds of things she draws:
I honestly believe this is how she perceives the world around her. The sun is always shining, and people are incessantly happy. This is because she is incessantly happy. She is the girly-girl of the family, the one who skips through the house while singing songs of her own devising. And thinks ponies are awesome.
It is possible to discourage her, though it is largely an act when she responds and she is never discouraged for very long.
I wish more people had this view of the world. If we did, maybe the world would look more like this.
