I had a new baby.

And still have this baby.

…so summer’s been pretty busy. I do have two things (in addition to that) to note.

1.) What a tragedy that Fawn Nguyen nearly lost hundreds of posts. If her content were lost, I imagine a herd of furious math teachers would’ve stormed the headquarters of GoDaddy.com and burned it to the ground. I’d hold a torch for that venture, too.

2.) My grandparents (who are 70+) live in Seattle and wanted to meet baby Clay. I walked Grammy through the installation of the Google Hangouts plugin and boom!

Cross-country goo-goos and ga-gas.

My grandparents (who still use disposable cameras and balance checkbooks by hand) are open to new technology, and I hope that teachers in the coming year will be as receptive as they are.
