We have a little red book outlining milestones for Oscar’s motor and cognitive development – things he should be able to do as he gets older (like making cooing sounds at week 6, hold his head up at week 8, realises he can put one thing in each hand at about 18 months).
I’m looking out for markers of his geek development.

The government body issuing warnings for (accusations of) copyright infringements, for France’s three-strikes law, has been caught infringing copyright twice. If they get caught again, will they remove themselves from the Internet?

This is an awesome idea for more direct democracy.
You can delegate your vote to someone who will represent you, but you can withdraw your vote from that person at any time without waiting for new elections.
I’ve often thought that technology will allow us all to vote on all issues (as we see fit), but this would be great – to freely nominate a representative, so you don’t then have to keep up with all the details of all important decisions.

He’s definitely looking at faces lots recently, and likes looking at black-and-white objects (like the cups you can see in the third pic below.) I can’t tell if he likes cuddles – he seems just as happy lying down as being held. He makes all sorts of funny noises and has lots of faces, but we don’t know what the faces mean.

This is what’s fantastic about the Internet.
The anecdote about predicting a daughter is pregnant is brilliant. Although kinda scary :p The article also illustrates sort of extrapolation companies could do.
Another reason to leave GoDaddy and probably to avoid American service providers.
What’s happening to the Mac Pro?
