Basil Bunny, 1999-2007
Tuesday, March 6th, 2007With us since January of 2000, when she was a youngster bunny of just 8 or 10 weeks, our house rabbit Basil had to be put to sleep yesterday. We’ll miss her jumping, wiggling, racing, mischievous personality; her penchant for long hugs; her life-long quest to become friends with the cat; even her discovery that an effective way to get our attention was to find something not meant to be chewed on by bunnies and chew on it.

My Grandmother is Gone
Wednesday, January 10th, 2007The call came through last night from the United States: my grandmother died in her sleep, apparently having suffered a massive stroke. She was 92. Today, my baby daughter is 16 days old, and her great grandmother Florence is 1 day gone. The two will never meet.
How to Create Both PAL and NTSC DVDs From the Same iDVD and iMovie HD Projects
Thursday, January 4th, 2007What do you do if you’ve just finished up a snazzy DVD of video clips of your newborn daughter and want to send them to relatives using both PAL and NTSC video standards? That little pull-down menu to choose PAL or NTSC for your project in iDVD certainly won’t do the trick, and a QuickTime export using iMovie HD expert settings will leave you with a relatively cruddy conversion and lots of work rebuilding the corresponding iDVD project. The answer comes in the form of a simple (and free) utility, plus some careful manipulation of files within your iMovie HD project.
Our Christmas Baby Surprise!
Wednesday, December 27th, 2006When she was 10 years old, my wife told her aunt that she thought parents who had babies so their birthdays coincided with Christmas were just inconsiderate; she would certainly never do any such thing. But with an official due date of 28 December, we always knew that our first baby might wind up violating my wife’s Prime Directive about when to give birth. So the fact that Kathryn brought our new daughter into the world at 6:32 on Christmas morning was ironic but not surprising. No, what was surprising was that she accomplished this feat in less than 4 hours, with no drugs, and was back at home less than 12 hours after leaving for the hospital.
