Oh, poor Grace.
Still SO CUTE though.
This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
4. Do you really think Amazon is that stupid to piss of a huge community of consumers?
Businesses never do stupid things, of course.

As someone who until yesterday lived with someone who programs Amazon search, I'm pretty damn sure it was not intentional.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Sometimes when there's a coin toss between malice and stupidity it can be a very hard call. They need either better PR or software release processes.
Amazon has been mostly off my shopping site list since they tried to patent one click shopping, so it wouldn't make much difference to my practices, even if I were buying.
My head is swimming. I've been spending the past week or so going through the long list of complex examples of advanced CSS ornamentation at some savant's site. I've reached the point where I understand much of it, but could never come up with it by myself. I have at least one site to CSS redo tomorrow, so I'm hoping for mental alchemy overnight.

Skipping with matzah-crumbs all over the place to post that, according to Jilli VoiceOfReason "If the Apocalypse Comes, Beep Me" Apr 13, 2005 11:03:27 pm PDT today is Lillian's birthday!
Happy birthday, you big lovely girl! With lots of wishes for your mom and all your family, as well.

Better testing, for sure.

Businesses often do stupid things, but this isn't the style of stupid thing Amazon typically does with intent.

From my experience working in software, I can easily buy it was unintentional. But I agree with the better testing. Seems like you could have an automated way to determine if huge blocks of stuff suddenly get excluded in an unexpected way.

Lillian? Again? Already? Next thing you know, she'll be growing up or some such thing. She's a BABY.
3/5 of the way through the televised Little Dorrit--is it normal to want the entire Dorrit family dead?
I have a sudden strong craving for Cook's Illustrated's apple pie. And...it's gone. Huh.

Yep. In half an hour, our time, she becomes officially four.

I'm not sure HOW she became four.
