Nothing personal, former Facebook friends: I’ll miss those wall updates about doing dishes and changing the kitty litter… But most of all, I will miss those hundreds upon hundreds of baby pictures that remind me daily of how insanely happy I am that my kids aren’t babies any more.

An excellent read on the IHT about how an incubator for newborns was built out of new or used car parts for use in developing countries.

Please pardon the radio silence over the last couple of days because I was busy becoming/being a rookie dad to a baby girl called Eliza.
Baby and Wife are now safely home after a couple of days in hospital. It’s been great fun so far but a lot of hard work, too. One may be adept with Photoshop shortcut keys and dexterous with CSS shorthand selectors but I am fast finding out that there is no easy way out with this parenting thing.
And yeah, there is no Command-Z (or Control-Z) for things like midnight tantrums and unexpected bowel movements during nappy changes either.
