Washing Windows

Okay, so this is a little off topic. I apologize. I have just watched some of the keynote for Windows 8, and having been a Mac guy for basically my entire life, I am shocked to say that I am really excited about the direction Microsoft is going with their operating system(s).

I love how Windows 8 is just like Windows Phone 7. I love how they are taking the concept of navigating a computer and turning it on its head. I love that they are innovating. They are totally late to the mobile platform race, but in my opinion they have the most refreshing and interesting offering. I find it fascinating that they are blending their desktop OS so completely with what you find on their phones. Apple is doing the same thing, but frankly I don't look forward to my laptop looking like an iPad looking like an iPhone.



That is so interesting and full of potential for interesting ways to deliver information.



Incredibly vibrant and ridiculously intuitive. But so busy and kinda ugly!

I can't believe that Microsoft is creating something artful, elegant and more desirable than what Apple is stuck with. Weird right? I can't wait to see this stuff on store shelves.

Baby Sizemodo

We love doing science experiments. We just pulled Las Vegas up from the basement because we thought True might enjoy bouncing around in it. Holy crap it was dirty. I vacuumed it, Kate swarshed it with damp towels, and threw the fabric seat part in the washing machine. Glory of glories, it looks like new!! So we popped True in it to see what she thinks. Not a bad first impression! She certainly seems joyfully intrigued.

Now for the interesting part. Here's Cole in Las Vegas a little over two years ago: That photo was taken on June 26, 2009. Cole was almost 5 months old adjusted, 8 months old actual, so somewhere in between. True is 5 months old in this photo. So they're basically the same age! Do they look the same age to you? I don't know. Cole seems stronger, but True seems fatter. Of course, Cole had way more time in gravity to develop his muscles so his extra strength makes sense. Fun stuff!

Our Hurricane Weekend

Hurricane Irene came through last weekend and did some terrible things to a lot of unfortunate people. We were lucky enough to endure with no damage and no loss. This is how we spent most of the hurricane's passing itself: But afterwards we went out to splash in the puddles! And Cole learned how to use an umbrella... It was all so fun!! Until it was time to go home, then it was sad. But on the way home we got to check out the tree that fell across the road. It made Cole go "what?!" That's all I have to report on right now. I hope your'e having a lovely Labor Day weekend!
