Following Edge

Usually Mondays are a tempest of activity taking up almost every hour of the day as co-workers are re-energized from the weekend and need help moving forward on various initiatives. Since today was also Lauren's first day of orientation at Montessori school, requiring 75 minutes of my time, I'm afraid today you'll only get "leftovers" as opposed to original observations...

I was sorry to see that Joshua Kinberg was arrested yesterday and his amazing bicycle printer, made from spray chalk dispensers and the electronics from an old dot-matrix printer, was confiscated. Whether or not I agree with chalking your political message around New York, I found his bicycle to be a brilliant use for old dot-matrix technology. Check out the demo movie on his site. If you've ever seen an old printer, it'll be amazing to you.

You would think, with my entry into blogging, it has descended to the ultimate banality, but over the weekend I found the the Appliance Blog by Jake from nearby Springfield. He chronicles each day the appliances he repairs, in great detail. Visit and check out the intriguing categories: Air Conditioners, Dishwashers, Ranges, Washers, etc.

Off topic (if that's possible given the impossibility of determining the topic of this article), Lauren today followed up a very sweet moment where she said "Daddy, let's have a hug. I love you" with "Daddy, you're the Prince of Love", to which I could only say, "Honey, that's what all the girls say".
