My dad has been in the market for a 2nd house for the past 2 years, and finally he's made the leap.

A couple streets over from us is our new house, with 4 rooms and a den! After seeing it I'm pretty excited to be moving. Now just comes renting out our current house, anyone moving to Norwalk?

Leigh, great to see your slide rule on your own XO. I've got an e-mail back to you in the works. I've been on the OLPC Jabber intermittently. But it's hard to sync up via just the chat activity because there's no system alert or sound for when someone enters the chatroom when one is working in another window. At least I haven't found it.

A box that left a factory in Shenzen, China last week arrived on my doorstep today. In it was the Chumby I've been waiting for a year for it to come on the market.

Chumby is sort of like an alarm clock on steriods with a color touch screen, WiFi and rich media software widgets. Pictured here is the beginning of the unboxing, which I did on my back porch. Since there's WiFi all around the house, I did the activation outside too with the help of an extension cord and my iPhone to do the web account activation steps.

The charms designed by Susan Kare can been seen here. Susan designed the original Macintosh bitmap icons and user interface in the mid 80s.

The rest of the unboxing photos are in a set on Flickr.

Not only is the Chumby happily displaying the time and family photos in my kitchen, I've deployed Virtual Chumby on TypePad and Facebook so people can see what's on screen at any time.

Three cheers for Chumby!

Commencing Candy Coma

this picture is owned by the submitter. contact submitter for permission before using it in any wayCici, in a lime green Disney fairie dress with blinking LED wings, did the sweep of the lighted front doors on our street for candy with her mommy while I greeted the squealing waves of kids at our front porch.

We initially had a convoy of SUVs with child rangers on tactical candy assault. And then a few friendly neighbors on foot. Apparently, I was the only candygiver who came out of the house.

Cici is pictured here inventorying her loot. At just short of 4-years-old, she doesn't know the names of the candy yet. Next year for sure.
