Wednesday, 17 December 2003 Microsoft sets time for cyberwatches So Excited!!! Wristwatches embedded with Microsoft’s smart technology are expected to appear in retail stores next month, a move that comes after a delay of several months, a company spokesman said Tuesday. Microsoft’s Smart Personal Objects Technology (SPOT) and its subscription-based MSN Direct service will power the wristwatches, along with other devices to be released in the future. The much-hyped technology and watches were initially set to launch in the fall. The delay will lead to Microsoft and retailers missing the lucrative holiday shopping season. more [listening to: Don’t Fence Me In - David Byrne ] 11:19:11 PM comment [ ] trackback [ ] G! • My Interests • My Organization • Random Update on Bricey’s Woes. Last note I posted about Bricey’s Woes He spent the night in the Sydney Children’s Hospital . The gave him antibiotics and oxygen. Finally he settled around 2am and had a bit of a sleep. Moira was by his side. I went in to visit him today and found him sitting up in bed. I couldn’t resist and took this photo. I played with him for an hour, while Moira had a break and spent some time with the other kids. Brice was funny. He said he was hungry. He asked me for a meat pie (his favourite). Then he asked for some cheese and crackers (his other favourite). These are all good signs. I left him and went home with the kids feeling that he would be home tomorrow (Thursday 18). Tonight I got an update from Moira. He’s moved to another room. His fever has gone up again. He has diarrhea . The diagnosis isn’t certain - is this a reaction to the antibiotics or another symptom of the pneumonia ? Dunno! What appears certain, he’s not coming home soon.

I wrote about Emma and crowns.  Well, I said I was going to get her one. Today was the day. Voila! Yup, this is what I do when I am at home alone with my daughter - I shower her with trinkets! That’s what all doting dads do - isn’t it?? Well, it’s what I do. [listening to: Lady Marmalade - Christina Aguilera ] 9:49:39 PM comment [ ] trackback [ ] G! • Family © Copyright 2006 Frank Arrigo.
