Jerry's noises

Lately, Jerry has been making squealing noises which sound like a pig! It is very amazing to see how much he is growing. He has turned from a quiet baby who didn’t open his eyes or move into a babbling, banging, moving boy - all in a period of 6 months!

Jerry's Keyboard

Jerry now has his own keyboard! It is an SGI-made dual Japanese/American keyboard. The youngest kernel hacker I know!

a brief history of me

My old grade-school classmate, Ben, recently made contact with me. Since we haven't seen each other since I was 13, I sent him (albiet, 3 months later) a brief history of my life since high school. I enjoy seeing how much has happened in 10 years... In late 1995 I departed Alaska to Seattle, chasing after my girlfriend in high school who had recently moved to Seattle. Naturally, we broke up after about two months but since I had used college as an excuse (to leave home) it was a good result.

sleeping

We haven’t figured out Jerry’s sleeping schedule yet. The last few nights he has gone to bed about 11. We spent about 2 hours from the point when he first displayed sleepiness to actual sleep. We’re still physically holding him and bouncing (on the bouncey) for him to slip into sleep…
