Dude - not only did I bring home A BABY today, but my Harmony Remote is here! One-handed TV/Tivo/DVD/sound system navigation-while-breastfeeding here I come!

(Baby is currently sleeping. I know the traditional wisdom is "sleep when the baby sleeps," but I think the people who say that must not have cool new shiny toys to play with.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Is this the first-ever baby announcement in the technology thread? I mean, I know it's far from the first Harmony announcement, but the pairing is kinda sweet...

Just remember not to try changing the remote, and attaching the baby to any USB ports....

Oh, I'm sure he's very plug-and-play. These modern kids, with their crazy interoperability...

Please. As if I would have ordered a baby that didn't come with Bluetooth and Wifi built-in.

I think in this case it would be wise to take out the extended warranty, as I hear Best Baby is now charging a restocking fee for exchanges. Mostly I don't endorse the extra cost, but you put a lot of work into an infant.

Our wings are not tired

So is the sprog 802.11n or the older 802.11g?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, grr.

Connected my work Blackberry 8700 to my laptop's BluePhoneElite, and it keeps dropping the connection. If this is a Blackberry-wide problem, I'm not switching to a Pearl.

Anyone know off the top of your head--if you get a new phone with AT&T and sign up for your next two years--you're not unsigned up just because you return the phone, eh?

Be prepared to make adjustments to the remote so that you get it working exactly how you want it. It doesn't always get it perfect on the first try, but it's very easy to adjust the programming.
