3 kids seem to be taking the title here. 2 kids is close behind, to be certain, but damn… I would’ve thought that 2 kid families would’ve won out the day.
It’ll be up a little longer for last-second votes from those with a single brother or sister. Or anyone else, I guess.
New poll question suggestions welcome.
Noting it here since we saw a magician this weekend, and Emma’s got interest.
Yesterday I stayed up authoring this script to help make it easier for people on the Hollow City boards to nominate worthy posts for experience.
And in this lesson, Sean learns that trying to ship a URL with parameters in a mailto link is decidedly tricky. But I figured it out anyway; the trick, for those who care, was to do a encodeURIComponent() on the URL I was trying to send (as part of the email body), and a plain jane encodeURI() on the rest of the arguments.

I’ve had a couple of hard drives fail on me in my days. I’ve been more fortunate than some in that regard, but I’ve been far from untouchable.
I have a local solution in place (via SyncBack and an extra HDD) to satisfy most needs, but there are some things I want to offload offsite. No keys to the vault or anything, but stuff like family pictures and such that Julie would shoot me for losing.

Today saw the first snow of the season at my house.

“Come on,” he says. “Why does the coaching staff at Southern Illinois change? Why does Ray’s hamstring pop on my contract year? Why is this the only team that showed up at my workout?
“It’s part of God’s plan. Not so I could play football, but so I could be here,” he says, waving his hand over the Kennedy Krieger lobby. “While you’re in the moment and you’re playing football, that’s when this is strongest. These kids see you on TV every Sunday, and that means something to them. You have to use this short period of time to affect as many lives as you can.”
Bart Scott just jumped up a few notches in the “Hero” category.
1) When asked why he, Britney Spears, and Christina Aguilera went on to pop fame, his response was “MICKEY POWER!”
2) He is champion burper. At the most recent Kids’ Choice Awards, after winning the burp-off with Hugh Jackman, he thanked his butt “for not letting it come out the other end”.
3) This SNL short, with him and Andy Samberg performing. Not the greatest for at-work playing.
A thread from SportPlanet on favorite players from favorite teams contains (a little less than halfway down) a reprinting of a 1986 Sports Illustrated article on Bob Irsay.
