From my NetNewsWire backlog of flagged posts: Ananova has this hysterical post from a while back &emdash Man peed way out of avalanche:

Peggy Noonan - The Blogs Must Be Crazy. She makes a ton of good points, for example:

|Jodi| just posted a great summary of current events and call to prayer for all of our believing friends and family. Fighting On Our Knees is a look into the arbitrary workings of the Ukrainian bureaucracy, and the seeming randomness affecting our adoption process. Please join us in prayer!

Peggy Noonan - The Blogs Must Be Crazy. She makes a ton of good points, for example:

>In newspapers you have to go to the editor, explain to him why the paper should have another piece on the Eason Jordan affair, spend a day reporting it, only to find that all that's new today is that reporter Michelle Malkin got an interview with Barney Frank. That's not enough to merit 10 inches of newspaper space, so the Times doesn't carry what the blogosphere had 24 hours ago. In the old days a lot of interesting information fell off the editing desk in this way. Now it doesn't.

This is an inspiring article. Thanks Seth! (Oh, and Dave too.)

Ok, friends and neighbors, physical and virtual! |Jodi| and I have decided that it's high time we hold another Arizona Blogger get-together here at our abode in good ol' Gilbert. Back on '02, we hosted a similar event, the AZ/NY Blogger BBQ (guests arriving, Taboo!!, Mark's notes, Marks' pictures) .

Jodi's iPod shuffle went bork the other day - we had connected it successfully to both her TiBook and my PowerBook and updated her music, but then after a few days it refused to be recognized by either machine. No lights, it didn't show up on the desktop or in iTunes, and System Profiler didn't see it on the USB bus. Wah. Just ot be sure I took some time and ran through the instructions on this Apple Discussions post, to no avail.

If you're looking for the page on how you can donate to our adoption fund, it's been moved to adoption/how-to-help/.

I just upgraded to Wordpress 1.5 - please be patient until I get the look and feel back.

I had the fortune of participating in a Tech Chat this weekend with Kreg Stepp, David Newberger, and Robert Kloosterhuis. The Tech Chat is a podcast roundtable discussion created, hosted, and usually moderated by Kevin Devin. Thanks to Kevin and the guys for the opportunity to hang out!

I'm trying to get the php accelerator MMCache running on a Mac running Mac OS X 10.3.7, and it's failing. I've followed the install instructions on Jacken's weblog, and tried the install process described in this Appletalk Australia article.
