Archive for October, 2005Just a day after 1.02, I've released version 1.03 of my "file-based posts" plugin for WordPress. It still allows you to compose/edit posts with your favorite editor instead of the tiny textarea box in a browser, but there are several new goodies with this version. I added many of the goodies while figuring out how to incorporate Y!Q into my blog. Y!Q is a service by Yahoo! which allows me to include contextual "search for more about this" links into my prose. As an example of Y!Q, consider that I'm talking about Anthony's favorite stuffed friend, Curious [...]

It's not something we're concerned about because, if he's got, say, 70% of the language skills as his peers, he's really got 140% of the skills (70% English + 70% Japanese). I know of other kids who have three or four languages -- a kid's brain is just amazing. I've also heard many stories of kids raised in two-language households where the kid eventually refuses to speak one of the languages (usually the father's). This [...] 
View full post » In the world of baseball this season, what's the difference between the Washington Nationals and the San Diego Padres? If you look at their records, there's not much difference. With San Diego at 82 wins and Washington at 81 wins, San Diego did better by one game (and that's over a 162-game season). San Diego, with their 82 wins, won their division (National League, Central) and guaranteed themselves a spot in the playoffs (where they promptly lost). Washington, however, with their almost-identical record, happens to be in a different division (National League, East), and their 81 [...]
