InfoWorld: Push me, pull you. Jon Udell. The lone exception has nothing to do with push vs. pull and everything to do with the locus of control.

Fabulous, totally lovely post over at Worms of Endearment that I won't even steal the whole thing of but just say go read it. Two bits to tease you: Today Stephanie (I’m sorry if I have not mentioned Steph earlier in this blog, but after all, this is not a novel, with well-developed characters and skillful plot development, this is just a sporadic diary that is mostly about worms, and Stephanie’s worms all died, which is another story, but anyway, Stephanie and Jim are also the parents of our godchild Max)…so today Stephanie gave birth to our twin (oh, I guess they’re our godchildren, although now that I think about it, have they really asked us?  I can’t remember…huh…) well, regardless, she had twin daughters today.    . . . Someday one of you will be sitting in a bar in a strange town, drinking an ice cold cocktail, while another one of you is in the hospital, your twin daughters under heat lamps, wondering when the next Demerol shot will arrive.  Cheers, Steph. What a fun read that blog is! 8:56:27 AM    comment []
