Listamatic: Listamatic: one list, many options
Really cool things you can do on the web using stylesheets. This is the next generation in web design.

It's time to change your browser
I've been testdriving the firebird browser available from www.mozilla.org for the past month. Tried on laptops, desktops, windows me, 2000 and xp. It runs faster, renders better and provides a great productivity jump over internet explorer. You will have to add some plugins but the built in links make this fairly easy. It is worth reading the instructions to understand what can be done. For those in jobs requiring multiple web windows the tabbed browsing with background downloading will be a godsend.
I love the keyboard shortcuts. Follow that link in the article listed below to see what you can do without taking your hands off the keyboard.
I've used almost every other generally available browser and this one comes out ahead. (IE, Netscape, Mozilla, Camino, Safari).

Voice activated computing...sounds like a great idea when you are reduced to one finger typing and web surfing because the baby is asleep on your chest.... (Post edited after the baby shifted and I could get both hands on the keyboard)
There is a wonderful joy to having an infant happily asleep and snuggled up on your chest. It cuts into your productivty but I keep telling myself she'll only be this small for a short period of time. :-) Like other human beings she is happier snuggled up and asleep then alone in the crib or the carseat.
I am amazed at how fast she is growing. In just over a month she has grown 30 percent. 6 pounds to 9 pounds. Can you imagine putting on 30 percent of your body weight in just over a month? She's still small but stretched out she's probably about 2 feet long.
It's a blur of bottles, formula, pink outfits and never sleeping for more than 3 hours at a time. I now write everything down since my short term memory is gone.

Letters of Marque: Sauron: Offer and acceptance
Yet another example of law students with too much time on their hands.

The Globe and Mail
Once the kids realize it's not some rotund stranger bringing the goodies, and rather that it's what my brother calls the parental units, they also begin to understand the grave responsibility of the season -- of not hurting anyone's feelings, of appearing to madly love all the presents, of being happy and agreeable so everyone can go to bed figuring they've had the best time and gone some distance to living up to the imagined Hallmark Christmas we all carry in our heads.
In truth, there are few of those. What there are instead are the infinitely more tender, flawed and sometimes downright odd celebrations of ordinary families in ordinary houses.
