Baby:

* BabyHawk Mei Tai. I want something that I can use to go hiking with Samuel this summer -- something that is easier to carry around than the giant framed backpack carrier that we currently have for him (I am not sure that thing even fits in the trunk of our car it is so big). After some experimentation with one of our wraps, a back carry with a fabric mei tai style wrap feels like it will work quite nicely. We just need firmer material than the Cuddly Wrap offers. So the BabyHawk it is. NOTE: This is a link to my gift registry at BabyHawk, and there are other things there as well. :) You all were too slow, I bought it for myself. :p

The comments are setup to not email me, and I won't read them for now, so if you want to get me something off here, leave it in the comments so that other people don't also get it for me (if you think it will be that popular).

Prof.E is furious about the number of spams that every [University] member is getting in their mailboxes. He is calling not for him only, he is calling for every [university] mailbox owners.

Professor is requesting to setup a ticket and pass it to someone who can fix this hole in [the university's] Mail System. He doesn't want us to close the ticket until a fix has been introduced and speak to an administrator.

Explained why a person could receive spam, phishing, spoof e-mail without even subscribing to any websites. Professor is still not convinced and requested to have it escalated to the highest level.

Himself he receives 40 over spams a day in the quarantine system and few in the inbox. He informs that he never received that many spams with anyother mailboxes and never gave out mcgill address to anyone.

Edit: A google search on his email address returns over 150 results. So much for "never giving out [his] address"!

How to things look now? I don't know. I still have hope, and space elevators have been in the news a lot more than they were 5 years ago. I just don't know if we will be there in 15 years from now. I am still waiting for my flying car. :p

On the other hand, the 9 KM tall space tower serves almost the same purpose, though, without making it through our atmosphere.

I wonder, if it was built, would that qualify for me to have won the bet?

I haven't had luck at my usual haunts: toysrus, Goldteck, the running room, MEC.

Thanks!

Samuel is going through another growth spurt. You know how we know? Because he eats as much as I do in a day! Dear lord can this kid shovel it back.
