Pom Backpack

Thank you gimmekittens so much for bring this to my attention.

Awwww, isn’t that kee-yoot? That lady’s got one of those novelty backpacks …

I’m speechless.

Although I’m afraid neither of my pom would like that. Maybe Bubo wouldn’t mind. I know Misty would hate it to death. Still so freaking adorable!

Got a new HDTV

The 27″ in my bedroom broke so we decided to get a new HDTV. Since Andy’s working for BestBuy right now, he gets very decent discount. We got a 42″ Insignia 1080p LCD HDTV with 4 year warranty and a TV stand for $952. It would be $1350 without employee discount.

I got a flickr pro account

I purchased a flickr pro account for two years today. I never used flickr much but recently I revisited the falbum plugin for wordpress and was quite impressed not only with the plugin but the flickr API. I then revisited flickr to upload some of the baby photos for bubo and misty and found their interface had yet improved again. Their UI is very web 2.0 and works pretty much like a desktop app. Since I received some donation and advertising money online in my paypal recently, I wanted to use it up. After I uploaded some photos and found that a basic account is only allowed to have 3 sets, I’ve decided to go pro. It’s $47.99 for two years. For their service, I think it’s worth it. I need to spend some time to truly config and style falbum before I can integrate it with wordpress. I look forward to it.

Now let’s visit the sets that may bring a mom to tears. Bubo growing up and misty growing up.
