in Thing to Remember When Your Kids Are Driving You Frickin’ Insane on The Cranking Widgets Blog
My 16 month old hasn't started asking "why". I'm actually looking forward to that stage a bit. :) My mom is looking forward to it. Evidently I asked "why?" for about 3 years straight. and she wants to see what I do as the parent. I've been looking at buying a copy of an encyclopedias in preparation.

in Why it probably isn’t worth using .Mac/MobileMe on Paul Jacobson
I've used .mac and most of the other services you mention for quite a while. Where .mac really shines is when you have multiple computers running OS X. My assistant and I share the same address book (which we could do with Plaxo), but I can also take a peak at her screen from my computer anywhere in the world using Back to my Mac. In the same way I can connect to her hard drive and vice versa.

For me the .mac account is well worth the small expense--even if I could get similar functionality for free using a bunch of other components. The easy of use is hard to beat and having a reliable system is worth quite a bit.

in Why Do They Still Make Phone Books? on The Hammer Report
I tend to agree, but there are still a lot of people who use them. I live in a small enough town now, that the phone book is only about 1/4 inch thick and I've actually used it to find people that weren't available on a Google search.
