There is a certain look that you get when you know your child is possessed by something bigger than he is.  You know the one, the blank stare with the eyes that burn through your head when you ask him to stop.

The Geekling is 4.5 years old. When I was pregnant I expected that screentime would eventually be an issue, but I wasn’t expecting it to hit us so early on in his life.  Now when I ask him to put down his Dad’s iPad or turn off the TV, I sit waiting and fully expecting to see his head to start spinning a la Linda Blair.

It’s today! Legions of geeks will be waiting in line here in Canada to get their hands on the iPad 2 today, and let’s face it, the latest installment in the Apple catalogue of goodness looks pretty awesome and has caught the attention of just about everyone (including my geekling who has declared that he should really get his own for his 5th birthday – um, ya, right).

On March 21, 2006, an automated "just setting up my twttr" message was sent by Jack Dorsey. He followed that message up with the first "human" tweet -- "inviting coworkers." 

On March 21, 2011, a “human” tweet was sent from my account “I am starting this week waaaay to tired. On the plus side, bootcamp at lunch today. On the downside, bootcamp at lunch today.”  I don’t want to brag, but I think MY tweet was much funnier than Jack’s.
