Put the tree up yesterday, it looks really good this year.
It has 1,000 miniature lights and 30 bubble lamps on it.
Went out shopping today, not really for Christmas gifts, since we do that online. In general, stores are too busy on any weekend. Tomorrow we plan to stay home and relax.
I was able to play with a Zune in a limited fashion at Target the other night. It would of been bitch’en cool…in 2001. The screen is pretty nice, but I think the navigation could take forever with the 5 direction pad and no click or scroll wheel. Ironically, the navigation is almost identical to the Zaurus music player’s navigation. (The player for the Japanese Zaurus, not the one included with the American rom (which sucks.))
It still looks like a PDA with no touch screen. Except it has no PDA features and a crippled WiFi connection. AdHoc only mode? Why? Apparently the hardware is pretty much a PDA as well. I think they took a Toshiba PDA, took off the touch screen, slapped on a big hard drive and battery and called it a Zune. I am sure the Linux hackers will have Familiar or OPIE running on there soon.
No new Christmas sighting today. Glenn actually ate for me for a while. He usually only wants to eat for mommy at night. It is my night to take care of him if he wakes up at 3 to 4:30 in the morning.
He has been laughing more, and his thighs are very ticklish.
Been reading about the ‘Zune’ device. Too many restrictions and not too many compelling features for the money. It gets a mighty meh from me. The fact that it is a MS device does not help either. I looks like a PDA with no touch screen.
Spotted someone with a full tree up already, again in Burbank. This time on 79th street, 1 block west of Harlem, South side of the street, first floor apartment.
I don’t know about you, it’s ok to see it in a store, but kind of scary to see it in someone’s home at this date. I also spotted someone’s lawn with about 50 or so tacky, plastic lawn decorations. I will try to take a photo of it tomorrow.
Bad Baby
Glenn has been a cranky boy today. He didn’t want to eat at all until I tried some solid food for him. Even with the solid food, he his just now going off to bed.
I am trying to see how easy/hard it is to author a DVD in Linux with menus and what not. It is burning a disk right now, so I hope it works and looks decent on a TV. With all the home movies we have taken of Glenn, I want to be able to present it/preserve it on DVD.
I have gotten a lot of use of my DVD burner over the last year or so. Under Linux

Glenn decided to do some typing. He found the numeric keypad, but really likes the 0.
The DVD experiment went pretty well, and few more tweaks and it will be perfect.
