Souvenir
We 3 went to Disneyland last week. I’m not sure when we’ll have the pix up online but I liked this one a lot so I’ll post it here. We stayed at the hotel right there on the property, right between Disneyland and California Adventure, and when we checked in, we told the clerk that we were celebrating the boy’s birthday. She gave him a special birthday pin and this glossy 8X10 with Buzz and Woody. He loved that but even better, the rest of the time, as we walked around the hotel or either park, the “cast members” all stopped to wish him a happy birthday. That is some fine customer service, that is. Over all, we loved this trip and are glad we paid the extra dough to stay at the hotel inside the park. There may be nice places to stay elsewhere in Anaheim, but ewwwwww.

Here’s one more that we took, at night, next to the newer rocket ride in Tomorrowland.

Spirograph widget
I realliy like this spirograph widget by Benjamin Joffe for Opera 9.x.

If you’ve not tried Opera 9’s widget’s yet, they’re like Mac OSX or Konfabulator widgets but they only work within the context of Opera. Not much real utility there, unless you’ve found a way to do most of your web browsing in Opera, but still. This one makes pretty pictures so I dig it.
The boy’s first movie
The boy’s first video, on YouTube:
What are you gonna be for Halloween?
The boy has made his choice for this year.
