I want to be like you Dad

Just some recent bits.

I asked Bradley, "what do you want to be when you grow up?"
"I want to be like you, Daddy."
I've played Simon and Garfunkle's Cats in The Cradle so many times, my heart sunk.

I've long since retired, my son's moved away
I called him up just the other day
"I'd like to see you if you don't mind"
He said,"I'd love to, Dad, if I can find the time
You see my new job's a hassle and kids have the flu
But it's sure nice talking to you, Dad
It's been sure nice talking to you"

Es Pes on her bike

She even goes down some hills now. Only small hills.

Brad dashes off, into the distance. One day, perhaps forever.

Lying so comfortably, till I pointed her out to Bradley, then, he chased her off.

Doppelganger? Hardly, I don't play chess, nor bridge

Terrible, terrible news. I find a note from pubSub in my aggregator, a note from Steve Hooker. I didn't remember writing that, I thought. What goes on?

Turns out there's another bleedin Steve Hooker, in Liverpool, who's decided to blog. I just hope he gets fed up soon. Otherwise, he's gonna contaminate my aggregator.

I suppose I could write a callback that deletes him as he comes in. And I know there's lots of other Steve Hookers in this world, but I'm the only one with a blog! I suppose it couldn't last forever.

Get out and talk to your customers

From the Guardian: "There are many advantages if companies treat blogging as a useful tool. Employee blogs are a chance for companies and customers to have informal dialogues and build relationships. Blogs are also a great place for damage limitation, brand building and marketing. The experts on a product are usually the people who develop it, and blogs are one way they can share their expertise."
