Elliot Allen Ames arrived on Earth around 3:20am this past Monday morning. Due to the planet’s gravity, he registered 6 lbs 11 oz and he was 19.5 inches long.

I was an early adopter. I wrote my first blog post some time in 1999, before the term blog had even been defined. It was a pain because we didn’t have all these fancy tools like Blogger or WordPress or social networks with a blogging feature. We hand-coded our markup back then for each post [...]
