#songsincode

I love the latest Twitter meme - #songsincode! Similar to the internet meme Songs in Chart, here geeks are able to flaunt their creativity and programming know-how by expressing popular songs in code! Some of my favorites: @cael_gomes try{ make(&me); goto rehab; }catch(){ I.said("no, no, no\0"); } @jamesstephenson a = ["head", "shoulders", "knees", "toes"] while parent.sane a.each do |x| {child.pat(x); child.sing(x);} child.volume+=5 end @glenndavid if (Mc.hammer) { this.touch = false; } @billreiss switch(day) {case Mon:color=blue;break;case Tue:case Wed:color=gray;break;case Thu:break;case Fri:love.Add(i);break;} @3rdEden if(rickAstly) { rick.rolled = true; } @mattmetzger: for each (var person in sky) { if (person == lucy) { add(diamonds) } } @giovannibassi && (null) else "matters" This is like geek karaoke, don't you agree?

Elephant in the Bathtub

Second mystery of the day: How did the puppy's favorite toy end up in the bathtub? I thought J put it there as a joke (we had just given the dog a bath) but he swears he didn't.

My guess is that while "killing" the elephant (aka growling and shaking the poor little thing back and forth like a wild dog on Ritalin), the toy flew into the bathtub. Or maybe the little guy decided that his favorite toy deserves a bath too. ...

The first, a Care Bear from our friend Anna (who has an almost unhealthy obsession with Care Bears and says that we need to train the baby young!): Thanks, Anna for our first baby gift! It really means a lot to us...

You’re No Longer My Internet Friend

Pregnancy hormones are not fun. I have been extra-sensitive lately with the littlest things setting me off. The latest in the series of dramas - some of which I'm sure are only in my head - involve a couple of internet friends. Recently I found out that someone I had considered a good friend (at least in internet standards) de-friended me on Facebook. I know she is still around, because I can see her commenting on others' status updates, photos, etc. However, now she has set her settings so that I do not even have the option of requesting to be her friend again, let alone shoot her a message to see if something's wrong. Now, I have just discovered that another...
