I posted 4 new videos of the little darling Dorothy Nettle to Google Video. These are the same links available through Dorothy’s Facebook Fan Club so that nobody is missing out on any of her sweetness. She SO much more awake after her first week, but is sticking to a good schedule of sleeping, nursing and looking cute. I haven’t organized any of our Dorothy pictures, yet, but will post links to those once I have.
And now, the links:
Video # 4: Dorothy with her Aunts
Video # 5: Dorothy with Hiccups
Video # 6: Family Dinner
Video # 7: Dorothy’s First Fire
Mary and I are prepping for our trip, which we plan to share with family and friends. An easy way to share stories and photos will be to blog from the road and post pictures online. Over the weekend, we registered a URL to make both of those possible:

Right now, we are working out all the aspects of style and getting the pages organized… stay tuned for more updates!
I realize that not everybody is a fan of FaceBook. I wanted to make sure that anybody who wanted to see the little darling had a chance to see videos of her. As such, there are three links (below) to Google Videos that are copies of the ones I posted to FaceBook.
Video # 1: Almost Dinner Time
Video # 2: Mom, Dad and 2 Grandmas
Video # 3: What? Were you born yesterday?
Drop me a line if you have any issues viewing these videos.
I have spent the past few days working from Beautiful Seneca Lake, which has been enjoyable, for sure! It’s interesting (especially in my line of work) to witness which aspects of my workflow continue uninterupted and which pieces are all messed up. For example, I am ALOT more responsive to emails now, because I am not ‘down the hall’ or in a conference room, etc. However, my ability to connect with people is diminished. I can’t storm into someones office and demand that they answer my questions. I am also out of sight such that when the bossman comes looking around for a voluteer, I’m off his radar.
Marc, if you’re reading this, I’m sure that I’ll still be on YOUR radar… man… I’m speaking more generally.
I enjoy stretching the norms and seeing how things work when people are not necessarily co-located. I think that’s an aspect of potentially large cost-savings as the workforce moves away from tablets/chisels and towards laptops/cell phones.
I am planning to work remotely (except for a couple days) for the entirety of August and the beginning of September. So far, I’ve been wearing the same blue bathing suit and occassionally sunglasses (when an email is REALLY bright). I have a small networking project that would bring WiFi access to the beach. The ultimate goal of the summer is to work for an entire day without needing to leave the hammock — except for the occassional swim… of course.
