We discovered that when I sing to her in a relaxed deep tone, while she rests on me with her head on my chest, I can quickly put her to sleep.
For a long time, it was my AHA! over Mommy. Ofcourse Mommy has her many amazing things that she does, but … this time around, it was Daddy.
I was able to put her to sleep just by humming to her. Sometimes, I’d just hum whatever little tune popped into my head. If I wasn’t humming, I was singing. If I wasn’t singing, I was humming.

Then one day, I decided it would be a neat idea if I were to send Mommy a voicemail with me singing her lullaby. She was able to save the attached audio clip, and play it for Baby at any time. It really did the trick.

Until I noticed that when I actually sang to her, it would take her longer to fall asleep. I think that maybe the soothing effect began to wear off. After all, Mommy DID play it for her over and over and over again, until she just dozed off!

So after our little seminar at the store, we bought a few CDs to try at home.

We even bought a few spanish ones, too!

The bookmarklet (My Account > Bookmarklet) is simply a snippet of javascript that opens a new window and pre-populates some information in the EE entry form for you. You can alter it by altering the javascript.

Credit for this tip goes to spacey310:

  1. Right click on the link, and select “Properties”
  2. Copy everything in the “Location” field into a text editor
  3. At the very end the text is something like
    • 'bmentry',''))
  4. Replace that with
    • 'bmentry','width=700,height=520,toolbar=0,status=1,location=0, scrollbars=1,menubar=1,resizable=1'))

You can specify the size you want as well as the various window options.

    I’ve read many positive things about version 6.1 and came across the upgrade installer tonight.
    Do I dare?

    Will I risk bricking my phone!?

    YES!

    smile

    Tis the nature of the GEEK in me. After all, If I fuck it up, I can buy a new one … or so I hope!

    *UPDATE*
    After upgrading to WM 6.1, there are a few small annoyances.

    # The video no longer is the size of my screen (240x320) but a teeny-tiny rectangle in the center of my screen. I’m sure there is a fix for it.
    # MMS can not be sent, nor received!
    # Some of the old colors are still visible on some screens.

    Auslogics Disk Defrag is a fast and effective disk defragmenter intended to replace the Windows default. It’s quick and easy to use, and Auslogics DD provides a nicely formatted report of the latest defrag, including a motivating “Defragmentation has increased this computer performance by X%” message.

    Although I’ve never heard of this one before, I decided to try it today.
    I have been a loyal user of CCleaner for a few years now, and about two months ago, downloaded, installed and used (several times) Defraggler.
    It has worked well, but I’d like to see how this new ones works.

    What features of your cell phone are most important for you?

    The single most important thing to me is ergonomics. I have to like how it feels in my hand. The GUI is second most important to me.
    When stitching to T-Mobile over a year ago, I went from the Mototola RIZR, to Samsung t629, Nokia 5300Xpress, to the Dash.
    I’ve since upgraded from the Dash to the Shadow.

    I couldn’t stand neither the Nokia nor the Samsung! They had a terrible cheap feel to them. Too light. Didn’t feel sturdy.
    I have large hands, so the full QWERTY layout of the Dash just stole my heart, and since I am no rookie to the MS Mobiles, adjusting wasn’t hard.

    Another important factor, the phone has to be customizable!
    The ability for me to download most games or applications is important to me. Since I am forced to live in a MS Windows world, MS Mobile 6 is my current choice of phone OS.
