I’m such a nerd that I find this fascinating – even though I can’t even play chopsticks.

To save you some reading, it’s about Pythagorean theory on stringed instrument tuning – compromises between perfection and practicality – and a slight mention of why some Beatles songs sound a bit unusual, though still good.

Saw this in my daily review of other news sites (so it’s regurgitated news). I get a kick out of the picture they’re using to sell it. My wife would get a kick out of hitting the “TEST” button during the night just for kicks.

I wonder what’d happen if you got shocked, wet the bed in frantic response, then got shocked again. Double-snore-icide.

I’ll put up pictures later, but here’s the lowdown:

Jackson Grant was born at 2:14pm today. He weighs 5 lbs, 14 ounces, and is 19 1/2 inches long.

Mom and son are both doing fine. Sarah’s pretty curious about her new brother.

We left for the hospital when P’s contractions got strong and regular — 12 hours before he was born, so we’re all pretty worn out.

Update: Here’s some pictures of the event.

The first one is just to pick on my wife… she wasn’t thrilled with having to wear the mask, and I was teasing her: “Jack… I am your mother. Use the force. Get out here.”

Next up is the good one: Penny and Jack, both doing fine, during his first moments in the room.
