My mom usually takes Ava to and from school during the week. Sometimes, when the two of them are at Gramary’s house in the afternoon, we get an electronic message from Ava. Like this one we received today:

She digs thje Zapf Dingbats, as you can plainly see. Also, please avoid paincones, if you’re able.

MERGED!

Fine, fine. Chalk up my failed experiment to hubris (Danny’s too good a person to say, “I told you so”), but I’ve merged anonymark and avablog into this blog now, which may or may not remain under its present name. anonymark has a redirect in effect, but you may as well delete that bookmark, if ya have it. Enjoy!

Vado, Mino. Vado, Mino. And the winner is….

The Creative Labs Vado HD.

Leah and I have been cogitating on this purchase for a while, but seeing Danny’s Mino last weekend brought us closer to action (well, that and all the contractions Leah’s been having recently). If you’re wondering, the better (IMO) specs of the Vado weren’t the only things pushing me in that direction; this video comparing the output side by side was very persuasive.

Guess this means you can “look forward” to more video here at avablog (and its sister/brother blog).

Still at it? Really?

I’m not sure whether to be more astounded that this hit my gmail inbox or that someone’s still working the Nigerian scam. Either way, it gave me pause.
