He told his mom what all the different shapes were, and she wrote the names next to the shapes: pollywogs (red/green dots), train tracks (large yellow and green lines), a man (yellow blob), “I Love You” (dots), kitty cat (yellow circle).

Two hours later he described the painting to Stephanie, using the same names he had given his mom earlier.

Words future generations will laugh at.

Finally consolidated all my WordPress installs.

Said I was eligible for an interest rate as low as 6.9%, asked me to press “1″ if I was interested. Pressed “1″. Connected with Dude, who asked me to verify I had pressed “1″ for a lower interest rate. Said, “Yes.” Then asked what my estimated credit card debt was. I ask, “Is this a call from Capital One?” (My credit card company.) Dude hangs up. Win?

I believe they also replaced my “glossy” keyboard with a “matte” version, which none of us in the office even knew was an option.

I had been holding off on the Mac OS X 10.6.4 update because it interferes with some Steam games. Our computer shop applied the update while they were fixing a hardware issue, but in the interim Apple released a graphics update, so I would have upgraded today anyway. Sweet.
