Sorry James Tipu Talukdar, I Don’t know You

Seems weekly (sometimes daily), I get random friend requests on facebook from people I have no clue who they are.  

I almost befriended this guy though.  Not so much because I know him but for the profile pic.
Maybe we should have a vote.  Is it…
A. Their child who is very tall for an infant and has an abnormally sized noggin.
B.  An actual floating baby head that just drifted into the frame as the picture was being taken.  Seems Bangladesh is being overrun by floating baby heads at a pandemic rate.
C.  A very bad photoshop job.  (I am not even sure the baby is of the same race/nationality.)
D. A balloon.

Sans Computer

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

We only have one computer at home – my laptop.  (Well we do have my mother’s old mac desktop that she gave us too but the software is so old it doesn’t work.) So when I left last Saturday for a week-long conference, I decided to leave my laptop behind with Robin.   Hence the lack of blog posts.  Also no responses to email and no facebook updates.   I figured I was with those who most needed me and others could call if they didn’t get an answer.   (I also don’t have a gadget like a Blackberry to check email constantly.)

I thought I would have 500 emails in my in-box but actually its only 265.  Not bad.   And it was good not to be distracted.   It was actually a good social experience to be w/o a computer for a week.  Not that I am giving it up for lent.  (I guess if I was you wouldn’t be reading this.)

The only really ironic thing is yesterday when I was talking with Robin is that she said she couldn’t get the Internet the whole time I was gone.  Actually it was a simple solution I walked her through as a little boy had turned off the wireless connection.   But I guess the reason I left it – so she could check her email and facebook – was mute.
At least the boys used it as a DVD player.
