Happy Mother’s Day!
Team Viticci
My friend Viticci (over at MacStories) has cancer. It blows. Show your support by shaving your head and showing the world you’re proud to have such a nerdy Internet pal.
Not man enough to shave your head? Any old photo will do, but know you’ll be judged by the rest of us.
‘Not A Number’
Hugh Laurie, on House
I’ll miss House. This interview with Hugh Laurie is pretty great. In it, he discusses playing an American, limping on camera, his father (who was a doctor) and the end of the show.
Facebook Buys Instagram
Facebook announced today that it has reached an agreement to acquire Instagram, a fun, popular photo-sharing app for mobile devices.
The total consideration for San Francisco-based Instagram is approximately $1 billion in a combination of cash and shares of Facebook. The transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to close later this quarter.

As those who follow me on Twitter know, we’re in the hospital with our oldest son this week. I’ll catch you awesome people in a few days.
The Best Christmas Present

This afternoon, between Christmas events, we put Josiah down for a nap. As we weren’t home, he had problems falling asleep, so I went to lay down next to him for a bit.
Resting there, I realized today was Josiah’s fourth Christmas. When he was first diagnosed with brain cancer in May 2009, we didn’t know if he’d make it that Christmas, let alone one three and a half years later.
