Has anyone developed an iPad app that detects dog-like typing? Kaylee has started “helping” me write my novel. She can hold down a lot of keys at one time with a single paw.

Old Jews Telling Jokes(link goes to iTunes store) – This is the only podcast I’ve ever subscribed to that I actually keep up on.

Unhappy Meals was pointed out recently on a twitter diet thread I follow, and I think it’s the most intelligent thing about dieting and nutrition that I’ve read in years.

Cred vs. Influence (or Killing our Soul) applies to more than just game design, and is the first time I’ve heard folks talk about Steinbeck in a while.

Nighthawk is home from the hospital, as of yesterday. He’s still not 100% and we don’t know when he’s going back to work yet, but just having him healthy enough to come home is a great improvement over where we were 2 weeks ago.

We’re both exhausted, but on the mend. I took yesterday and today off to help us get life back in order… and to spend some time with this guy I’ve missed for the past week It’s a good thing I took yesterday off, too, because we thought he’d be discharged from the hospital in the morning and it was mid-afternoon before we were finally free to go. Ah, hospitals.

Anyway, the plan is to get the comic rolling again and stuff, so the period of radio silence should be over. Thank you all for your good wishes and your patience. Here’s a video of Kaylee in a cardboard box as your reward
