My focus varies randomly between current events, fatherhood, navel-gazing, programming, research, and technology.

A Techie Birth Announcement

Family and friends,

On December 23rd at 4:14PM, compilation of the next version of the Jovanovic-Peabody suite of interactive tools was finished and went gold.  Like Google, we consider this to be a work in progress and will continue to profile and debug it for the next approximately 18 years before unleashing it on the world.

This version of the system weighed 7lbs 10.6oz and was 20.25 inches when assembly finished.  All the hardware is present and appears to be functioning normally.  The control software currently implements the following operations: respiration, random sound generation, gross motor control, liquid fuel intake, and waste disposal (although currently, we must use an external garbage collector to prevent the system from overloading).

Please join us in welcoming Cordelia Zorana to the world!

Delivery went smoothly.  Mom is doing well, healthy and resting.
