Yes, it is time for the now semi-traditional interview with Alex as he turns another month older. This clip was taken just under two hours before Alex officially turned five months old at 21:04 UTC today (that’s 1:04 PM Pacific, 4:04 PM Eastern), or a little over two hours ago as I post this. (Remember, months are 30.4368499 days long or so… :-) ) Wow, has it really been five months already? I definitely already can’t remember what life was like without him around. :-)
It was close yesterday, but as of today based on the overall trend line for Alex’s mass… Alex has doubled in mass! Anyway, it looks like he is doubling every 148 days. Assuming an exponential growth pattern… His mass will exceed my own when he is 1.8 years old. His mass will exceed that of the Earth when he is 32.6 years old. Such a big boy! (Note that this is of course dependent on the exact methodology I use for drawing the trend line, but I like how I draw the line, so I’ll stick to it! It is better than just looking at today’s reading vs the first one right after he was born… human mass fluctuates and there is non-trivial experimental imprecision, so it is important to look at trends over a bunch of data points, not individual readings. And I’ll be sticking to the idea that his growth will be exponential, even though you can clearly see that the shape of the curve is not exponential. I’m sure that is just an anomaly, and it will become exponential any time now. :-) )  Must embarrass the teenagers by posting pics. It is a parent’s job.
What are you all East Coast folks going on about?
Given that they had started to let on VOIP over 3G I’d hoped this would be coming soon… SlingPlayer iPhone App Gets Go-Ahead to Stream over 3G
Of course, despite promising myself I wouldn’t spend the $30 until it did 3G, I broke down and bought the app a few weeks ago, and have indeed been using it sometimes just between rooms in my house. But it will be much more useful this way.  How to roll over. |
