“Looking for old tweets? You won’t find any that are more than a week or so old...”
– From Where Have All The Old Tweets Gone?, an article I found when I noticed that tweets older than 6 days were not showing up in Twitter search results. It’s curious that the article (published in January 2010) concludes the 6 day throttle because I only just noticed this problem on May 24...

I summon 'BIGBOXCAR Ultimate Dragon'
My 8-year-old is really into You Gi Oh! cards, and apparently some kids at his school have been making their own cards on yugiohcardmaker.net. He pleaded with me this morning to try it out, so I decided to see what it was. The site is really well done — you can modify all of the areas of a card (Attack points, Description, even Copyright tag!), AND it allows you to use URL based image...

Getting back to "normal" chaos
  I have not posted an update about the accident in a long time. That means things are good. My two boys are doing great: My 2-year-old’s burns have healed and he is jumping all over the place; he is back at daycare. My 5-year-old’s skin grafts on his feet are healed — we went to HCMC today and they took his bandages off and he now has a compression sock on each foot and he...
