DadLabs

I got this update from a college friend I haven't heard about in a while.  He is the "Chief Creative Officer" for DadLabs:

Behold the power of the 89s! With the support of our classmates (and maybe just a few other folks) DadLabs won the voting for Best New Uploader on Yahoo! Video. We're really excited about the award and hope it will be a boost to our little company. Another great side effect of your message: several classmates I haven't heard from in years got back in touch. Very cool. Thanks for that.

See for yourself at the website.

Today I got stuck home with a sick kid. That was okay. The weather is picture-perfect--high 60's to low 70's and sunny. I fiddled out by the pool. My husband and I figured that we both have advanced degrees in engineering/science and we should be able to figure out the pool chemistry. So, that's what we (meaning "I") do. With the help of the kind folks at Trouble Free Pool, I keep my pool clean, clear, and healthy. We also save at least $90/month on the pool service, always a good thing. The weather this past week got me going on starting the solar heater and balancing the water chemistry.

I'm just going to get a hang of this blogging stuff. I've been reading blogs, mostly knitting, technical, and news blogs, for years. I will probably have quite a bit to add as far as knitting goes, although I have been knitting so long and most of my trove is unphotographed. Some of it is even at Goodwill right now.

I've been inspired

My brilliant older sister has inspired me to start things off here.

Here is her blog.
