For those of you that aren't my facebook friend, flickr friend, or don't follow my tweets, or haven't found out some other way, Betsey and I welcomed

Grace Kathleen Catchpole

into the world a little bit ago.

We're all doing great.

Where did it go?

I heard this story on NPR recently.

Guess what it brought to mind?

So where did it go?

iPod and WPA

I had a 63 character password on our router, and the iPod wouldn't connect to it. After exhaustively changing the router password to just the first 8 characters, then just the first 9 characters, just the first 10 characters, and so on, I discovered that the iPod didn't like that my password contained the letter combination "ql" within the string. That's lowercase Q followed by lowercase L. I changed the l to a d and now the iPod connects with the 63 character password without issue.

Can someone see if they can reproduce that with their router, iPod, and a similar style password?

I'm wondering if I stumbled onto a very obscure Apple bug.

New Gaming Laptop

I need help.

I've become tired of having to go to the office to play PC games when Betsey is watching TV. I want to be next to her, even if we're in completely different worlds. To that end, I'm getting a gaming laptop. So far I've decided on this model:

Qosmio X505-Q870

Talk me out of it, or confirm that it's awesome. I haven't been in the new PC market in a long time.

Peace.

So, as more and more of the things I've experience on the internet have entered my life through sehti.com, I've been more and more needing a search function. Have they upgraded this software packaged with a rudimentary search function yet? I know you don't have enough to do right now Adam ;) , and this would be great.

Also, you have to get cookies working right at some point. Us CTRL + ENTER users still have to either delete the www or login twice.

Hilarious Amazon Comments

I received this in my inbox today:

"This is an Amazon link to a Playmobile toy. You will have endless fun reading the customer reviews. Endless.

Amazon Link"

I was not disappointed.
