This is my photo to announce to all my flickr friends that my wife and I are adopting a little girl from Vietnam!! We are super excited as we get closer and closer to traveling to pick her up... We started the process back in February (2007) and we may be traveling in early September... If you would like to read my wife's blog about the process go here
Here I am practicing my "look" from above the baby's crib :) As you can imagine I will have plenty of baby photos when she arrives...
btw there are more photos of the nursery on my wife's flickr page.

Blitter:
There have been countless conversations along the lines of "The future
of search is social search." Immediately after that observation there
is usually a following question along the lines of, "but HOW?" Good
question. Blitter might have an answer.
There have been many efforts to search social media tools, either a
single tool (just Facebook or just Twitter or just blogs). There have
been creative efforts like Google RealTime that shows "real time"
(actually substantially delayed) results from the folks you
follow/friend in social media streams registered as part of your
Google profile. Unfortunately, those are several hours to days
delayed, are mixed with other results from the open Web, and don't
allow you to dive in and explicitly prowl your streams. The social
search tools tend to either search everyone, irregardless of the
quality of content or reputation or significance or currency, or they
don't search enough.
Blitter has a VERY clever and useful strategy.
1) Choose a niche, one that MATTERS (ie. healthcare?).
2) Choose a selection of leading
experts.
3) Scrape their blogs & Twitter streams.
4) Filter the streams explicitly for mentions of formal publications
in either news media or the professional literature.
That's what you are searching in Blitter. The tool is in beta, it
isn't perfect.
The links aren't as current as I'd like, apparently roughly a week
delayed, which diminishes the actual utility of the tool for finding
what's hot and new about a topic. There are probably more experts they
could and should include in various topics, but they lack an easy way
to suggest them (although you can email the developer at
jon.brassey@tripdatabase.com). There are topics they aren't including.
They state they are following clinicians, but that seems to exclude
nurses and other allied health professionals. They provide criteria a
contributor should meet to be included (a) The person blogs or tweets
about clinical content, and b) They have no obvious conflicts of
interest), but I suspect there are other intangible criteria that are
not overtly stated or which should be added. How do they determine
conflict of interest for example? What percentage of a clinician's
stream should be clinical content to justify inclusion? I know of
great docs who tweet about clinical practice, but aren't good sharers
of journal articles. Some focus primarily on consumer health
information for their patients. Others focus on resources for other
doctors. There are some usability/accessibility issues with the
interface that I assume will be tweaked as they develop. So, I am sure
there will be some evolution of the tool in the near future.
That said, it is AMAZING!!! The concept is groundbreaking. I expect
this to shape the evolution of new search tools. The selection of
contributors reveals a great deal of thought and care. I love that
they include the list of contributors, which is for some probably even
more useful than the actual search features! They provide great
attribution, with the search results not only identifying the article
retrieved but also who cited it and when. (I don't see a good way to
list if an article was cited by more than one contributor, and if
there were multiples, how the listed contributor was selected - is it
the first? or the most recent? or the one most closely aligned with
the topic?) The search interface is wonderful, the way it allows
faceted search revision, limiting to tweets on a topic by a specific
contributor, within a time frame, or within a medical specialty (which
they call "specialism"? Is that British for speciality?). It color
codes the age of the articles (but I am not certain how well these
colors work for someone with color blindness). I wish they color coded
the type of article (research vs news vs blogposts, for example). You
can sort the results by date. You can get an RSS feed and add this to
your Google Reader or similar tool to track emergence of new trends
and issues on a topic. A prime example? If you search "ovarian cancer"
in most search engines you retrieve information about the condition.
In Blitter, it immediately alerts you that a recent article is
recommending significant changes in diagnosis and prevention of this
most deadly cancer, actually reducing screening. Whoa. This has
unbelievable potential. I can hardly wait to see what they do next.
Uniforms are common at Louisiana public schools, so the kids always looked sharp, even during after-school band practice. My son (left, sousaphone) practices a field show maneuver with a fellow sousaphonist (girls rule!) during 2004. Their show had 48 sets, and my son later performed with a big Texas high school band where the shows surpassed 120 sets.

I'm practicing shooting and processing. Removed that swimming pool accident thingy from her nose.
a few years back I found a pose guide on the Internet. Processing pics from the archives. Enjoy the view

Made cupcakes with the kids this afternoon (only took about 4 hours!!!!) and couldn't help but get in there afterwards to have a bit of a play myself when the novelty had worn off for them!
