Ubuntu: How to Automount Internal NTFS Drives
For most new users of Linux, automounting an internal NTFS drive is probably not a concern as you’ll just have one hard drive and it will be reformatted to either EXT3 or EXT4. But for people who dual boot Windows and Linux, like I do, being able to mount the NTFS formatted drives in your…

another father realization
I could be completely wrong here, but it seems like there is something different about Toren’s eyes. When he’s looking at me or at Debi, it looks like he understands – like there is some sense of recognition. He seems… aware. But when he’s just looking around at random stuff, his eyes seem glossy and…

Toren “walks over”
For those following the blog, you may remember that Debi told Toren to “walk over” to her one evening to eat (she was tired). Well, a few days later I helped Toren do exactly that:

Toren’s a genius
Here is Toren’s first blog post: iokjnuiujkcsjuikldkefrsd,kjchn kicjufvilkbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb mncv bajnhioerkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkdfvd jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjhn kmsssssssssssssssss nh vb jnnfcvgjb njhfducndfc8 vjk,mfcgv Never mind that it is completely unintelligible, he typed it with his feet! How many bloggers out there can type with their feet? (Yeah, he probably already spends too much time in front of the computer…)

fingers don’t cut it
Toren is learning pretty quick. I used to be able to fool him with a finger: Now, unless there is something yummy on that finger (e.g., SpriteZero), he’s not interested at all.

that wiley evolution!
I posted Debi’s and my newborn photos a while back and asked people to vote for who they thought Toren looked the most like. Turns out, 2/3 of those who voted (pretty small sample, people) chose me (I’m parent #2). Now I find out that Toren looking like me is probably an evolutionary adaptation. Here’s…

Toren does cry
Looking back at the earlier videos I posted of Toren none of them really showed him crying. So, we found a shot of crying just to prove he does: Of course, it is from June 29th, almost a month ago, and he hasn’t cried since then… (okay, that’s not true) But I did have it…

peek-a-boo
Sometimes I surprise myself by how slow I am to realize things… I was sitting at my desk with Toren while Debi was at a doctor’s appointment. Toren was kind of happy so we were playing. I’m not all that well-schooled on games to play with babies, but I do know peek-a-boo (who doesn’t?). So,…

Toren’s first dedicated artwork
We just returned from a trip to Utah. We spent just over a week there. I already posted a few photos from some of the activities: pool party, Cragun family photoshoot, etc. I also did some work, interviewing people for an upcoming book chapter. I went hiking (will post about it soon) and then spent…

survey fail
I received this fun little piece of mail the other day: If you click on it you’ll see that it says, “Dear Toren Cragun; WE VALUE YOUR OPINION.” It then proceeds to ask him to fill out a survey evaluating his recent doctor’s visit. I considered being a bit snarky and sending back the survey…
