InfantSEE

Here’s a link for all of you parents out there. InfantSEE: A Public Health Program for Infants | Helping Infants to Establish a Lifetime of Healthy Vision is mostly a public awareness issue for most of you, but here’s the point:

There are tons of issues about your kid’s eyesight that can be caught and potentially treated if you take the little one to an eye doctor at an early age (6-12 months).

It could save you and your kid lots of time and money at doctors later in life.

Your pediatrician probably don’t know this, so he/she probably isn’t going to recommend it unless something blatantly obvious is wrong with your kid’s vision. Most folks I know use the pediatrician as the guide to what needs to be done, so this step gets skipped.

So if your kid hasn’t seen an eye doctor yet, now’s the time.

See, that was easy!

Safari tips disguised as a Firefox review

Posted on by

This Daring Fireball article has all kinds of tips for using Safari disguised as a comparison between Safari 3 and Firefox 3. (I won’t name names, but if your initials are peri-renna please take note that your milage may vary since you’re on a older version. )

For example:

I love Firefox’s auto-restoration of tabs and windows. Quit Firefox, relaunch it, and your previously-open tabs and windows are restored. Safari 3 has this feature, but makes you do it manually via the “Reopen All Windows From Last Session” command in the History menu. I’m sure most Safari users have no idea this feature even exists.

And holy heck, there’s a “Reopen Last Closed Window” choice in there too! Damn! Wish I’d known that a while ago.

Crap, the Internet sucks today.

I’ve got roughly 20 browser tabs open from going through my RSS feeds and at least 90% of them haven’t loaded. Crap. Internet Traffic Report is currently showing North America’s working connection rate at something horrid like 88 (we’re aiming for 100 folks) and most of the rest of the planet even lower.

I don’t like it when someone shuts my Internet off without asking.

I didn’t want to be motivated to go do my chores! I wanted to goof off! Whaaaa!

Oh well, time to go write the shopping list.
