Feeding your dog Optima in China? Stop.

The last two days we’ve been dealing with a bit of a scare. We got a call from our pet shop asking us if we’d seen the news. Optima – the decent-quality, American-made dog food we’ve always fed our pup – was issuing a major recall because contaminants had been found in it. Apparently since …

Feed Update: Feedburner is dead…

Right, so Feedburner actually died a long time ago, but it wasn’t until I got around to upgrading WordPress to the shiny new WordPress 2.5 the other day that I realized I really needed to finally bury the sucker and switch back to in-house feeds. Now, allegedly Feedburner will be redirecting everyone to the original …

Feed The Masses

Right, so I’ve added an RSS (Rich Site Summary) link to my site (over on the left side, at the bottom – replacing the graphic that reminded me I failed at NaNoWriMo). If you don’t know much about RSS then click on the darnn links in this post and sort it out man. It’s quite …

Feeding The Dog At The Table

Right. So I did it. Despite moral objections to the way in which the animal is killed, I can officially say – for the first time in my life – that I have cold, dead dog in my fridge. After class today my neighbour Matthew and I went out for some Korean food. By and …

The first thing that should be immediately noticeable is that top to bottom the site’s been simplified. Largely it’s been pared down to a single column. Navigation is tucked …

Father of the Year

Shortly after noon tomorrow I will have been a father for one year. Yep, Casey’s already one year old! I can hardly believe that we’ve hit his first birthday already. Oddly, at the same time, it feels like a century ago I was in that hospital room marveling at his wrinkly hands and unpracticed cries. …

Casey’s First Week – A Retrospective

We’ve been home from the hospital since Monday afternoon, and are slowly finding our day-to-day groove. It’s challenging, but not as difficult as I built it up to be in the months/weeks leading up to Casey’s birth. I’m happy to report that despite a bit of jaundice that we’ve been told should clear up in …

Redesigning Sinosplice

I meant to mention this sooner, but as is so often the case around here, I got caught up doing other things. Most people in the China blogsphere are well-aware of Sinosplice, a blog and Chinese learning resource by Shanghai-based expat John Pasden. Last week Sinosplice.com went live with a completely new design, and I’m …
