New Software

Well, weâ€™ve finally migrated completely off our own software. We just canâ€™t compete with the likes of Google and WordPress, so weâ€™re joining the masses. WordPress gives us much more flexibility in formatting and adding new content, as well as managing the old content. Enjoy!

Decode This

A free Christmas cookie goes to the first person who comments with a decoded message from this image.

HINT: It is a barcode.

ANOTHER HINT: There is barcode software for most smartphones that uses the built in camera.

YET ANOTHER HINT: There are also software programs for PCs for those without smartphones.

Good luck!

Wireless Webcam Robot

Check out this video for Rovio, a wireless robot that lets you remotely explore and interact somewhere else. I stumbled on one of these at the Mall this weekend. http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1847264/meet_rovio_demo_full/ I've been waiting for this same type of product from iRobot, the makers of the fantastic vacuum cleaning robot Roomba, for quite a while. It looks like these folks beat them to the punch and it looks great. I'd love to be able to log in from work or while away to check on the kids. Good: super awsome way to interact remotely Bad: $250 :-(
