Babies prefer USB

So after this idea was raised for the third time in a week, I decided to relent and commence blogging. I suspect that this will be a short-lived affair and end up in the blog graveyard categorised with the well intentioned 3-posts-in-three-days-and-then-silence blogs.

Anyway the goal of this 'ere blog is to record the long summer ahead, which I will be sharing with my 7 month-old son (let's call him LB) and an array of technology. I am told (I haven't bothered to check) that there is a lack of materiel written by Dads for Dads on the Internet. I know of Dads.info but maybe that's a bit dry and factual. Anyway, I imagine that it's relatively unlikely that the outcome of the particular recipe of 1x balding IT infrastructure engineer, 1x unbalding teething baby, and a generous helping of alternative/biblical/eco/vegetarian/French philosophies, has been documented. Maybe that was for the best because this is going to be tedious and mainly a record of how many ml of milk I've managed to inject down LB's throat today.

So here am I, with one bored baby, 43 washable nappies, 3 laptops, 1 server*, 1 desktop PC, 1 DD-WRT router, 1 neufbox, 1 DSL connection and 1 procurve Gb switch.
Samuel has been entertained for the last 20 minutes by taste testing different I/O interfaces generally used for human-machine interface technology. After a totally uncontrolled study, I can state with authority that babies prefer USB to PS/2. I failed to capture the disgust that PS/2 generated on his face. Here is photo proof for the USB theorem.



Better go, the technology distractions are starting to fail...
