Nobody can write a superb in-depth review of Mac OS X like John Siracusa. It's comprehensive, extremely detailed and succinct. Read if you value a good OS, read if you value reviewing.

These free CSS templates really are pretty good. Recommended.

So this is the future of photo resizing. Neat.

So, back from a relaxing long weekend in Noosa, and news of Hazel. Of course!
On Saturday, she held her first objects, with encouragement. I won't listen to any claims that we just shoved a toy into her hand, she actually grabbed it. Then she shook it about. OK? She's interacting more, smiling more, recognising us and smiling about that too. Brain cells connecting, forming new patterns and so on. She's talking more, and though the only word she can (almost) say is "hello", that's good enough for us.
Tonight, Sunday, she looked at my watch... with intent. Then she reached out for it, and for my arm. She wrestled with the hairs on my arm for a while... with intent. You can't fake intent like that.

As we teach Hazel to say "Hello" several months early, I may be taking a few peeks at Babygadget to find new toys for her.
