Michael loves technology

As the photograph shows someone loves his technology. If he sees something new and expensive he has to play with it.

Lessons from our surroundings

Recently I have been involved in a little verbal spat on an internet forum - nothing new about that but it did make me stop and think about ways of making Michael be aware of people, history etc.
The thead is at http://www.apriliaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=166873 and it is at page 3 that things kick off . What surprised me was the intentional racist slurs laid out by the bigot. Not based on colour per se but on culture and history , in this case my own culture and history . This culture and history will also be Michaels, so how do I ensure that he developes the same love as I do but also has respect for other people's as well.
A hard one, but perhaps by openess and encouraging him to explore other people's cultures and beliefs and most importantly by teaching him respect we may get somewhere.

Just perhaps being English is about being open and fair minded - I certainly hope so.

He is 18 months old today and it is hard to remember life before him.
Funnily enough the cat says she can remember being numero uno and ...

Rave on

Just had to share. Have just spent a few hours setting up the surround sound in our lounge, and that is not easy with daddy's little helper I can tell you!

Any how all done and time to test it. Popped the new Faithless live DVD on and sat back to enjoy a little dance music. And then Insomia came on.

Was not surprised that Michael started to move with the best - what annoyed me was that he is already a better dancer than me!

Fun times and next we will try Him with some Prodigy...
