8yo reading from joke book. “Did you ever hear of the Captain Kirk monster? He had a left ear, a right ear, and a final front ear.” OY.
Made it through two rounds of wii bowling before core insanity of 8yo party broke through.

Very pleased to see that 8yo got “on task on time” kit for birthday — anything that reduces morning yelling is ++good
Listening to @jonathancoulton songs with @atthemuffin
So very, very wiped. 8yo’s birthday party tomorrow, hope I don’t pass out in the midst.

OK, going home now. My 6 hours of #keynote09 fun will be followed by 6 more tomorrow. At least.

New Nathan Fillion series coming in March. Because America deserves it.
Just spotted a “Weneday” in the print doc that already went to the client. Back seized up and I yelped.
Charles Widmore. Now this is starting to make sense. #lost
Amazing how much happier this deck is when the masked PNGs are sized down from 4000x2500px. #keynote09
I’ve got my image build working as desired, but now I want to swap out the images for other pics and keep the build config. Oy. #keynote09

8yo is officially enthralled with iPod nano. Running around the house dancing to Dan Zanes.
