Winter Colds Suck

Sections: Gavin, Life, Photos — Posted @ 12:04 am by Chris

Aliciana and Gavin spent all weekend sick. I did my best to take care of them but there isn’t much you can do for a 9 month old with a cold. All I could offer is lots of cuddling and back rubs. Gavin can’t take any medicine except Children’s Tylenol, which does help with his aches. But his little cough just breaks my heart.

We had to resort to giving him his second bath of the day this evening. His ‘baby spa’ with Johnson’s Soothing Vapor Bath is the only thing that could make him comfortable.

  • Crazy ATM heist that was a result of an electronic security breach. $9mil stolen. Smart criminals and bad security http://is.gd/iGsV #
  • Interesting: Facebook has joined the OpenID foundation. Hopefully we end up with one SSO spec + some UX simplification http://is.gd/izTR #
  • Obama “Hope” poster artist sued by AP http://is.gd/iqkc Copyright was never meant by US Founders to give content creators this much power. #
  • If NY Times had opened up their content’s license, such as placing it under Creative Commons, that would be innovative. An API != freedom #
  • NY Times released an API to access all its articles since 1981 (2.8mil). They’re copyrighted so I don’t see the use. http://is.gd/iqvo #
