I want an iPhone
I think I’m in love with Apple. For years, I’ve wanted a good cell phone. And that’s hard to come across in North America unless you go to Blackberry (in my world). I fell in love with keitais when I was in Japan in 2004 …

All new for 2007!
It’s taken me a few months, but I’m finally back up and running with something a lot better: a new blog format (and technology) and a new host. Okay, so first the blog… It’s taken me months — literally — to move …
It's alive!
Alex went for an ultrasound today. She’s had them before for strange pains she’s had in her abdomen, but this was for something very specific. As you already know, Alex had a positive pregnancy test on 31 December. That …
