We did send out a Christmas letter this year, but I wanted to post it to the web site anyway. Who knows, maybe somebody who isn’t on our holiday mailing list would like to know what we were up to this year? If you’re not on our Christmas card list, and would like to be, please let me know!

Back in November, I was trying to choose an MP3 player for Chrissy’s birthday, so I suggested an iPod Touch to her. She didn’t know what it was, so I told her that an iPod Touch was basically an iPhone without the phone bits. She didn’t want anything with that much functionality, she just wanted something to...

We had a little more luck in timing Gavin’s arrival, hitting our late July target. ...

Ordinarily, those words would send me into a frantic dash for the fire extinguisher nearest my TF cabinet. However, this time they only sent me home from work early.

I lost sight of Tim for a minute in Picadilly Circus, and the huge crowds of people moving up and down Regent Street swallowed him up.
