Corbin took this photo of Benjamin about a year ago

I want to caption it with something witty or profound but nothing comes to mind. So I'm just going to share it as is. maybe something will come to me later.

We’ve started our garden again

We've started our garden again – and be we, I mean +Julia Shiras (with a little help from Corbin). Trying a couple of different things this year – wider rows, changed orientation. Here's a reminder of what we had last year http://goo.gl/aGteF

Working in the garden is so rewarding, but waiting for them to sprout is torture

So it appears my web sites were hacked

Guess there's a vulnerability in WordPress. Tech support called it a php injection attack.

Talk about calling the wrong number

So I have two Google Voice accounts. One for personal and one for “work” (aka job hunting) and that means the work number never gets any calls since I never gave it out to anybody. Yet despite that fact, I have received this morning – don’t worry, they go straight to voicemail so nobody woke me at 5am.

The messages came from the same number (818 area code) and sound to be in Mandarin but that’s just a guess from watching too many kung-fu movies.

First message was transcribed by Google:
Hey for a while. Yes, I’ve got the Pomona HI hello Hello, Hello, the number.

The second message:

The final book in our library roundup is a wonderfully written story about a boy…

The final book in our library roundup is a wonderfully written story about a boy and his toy dinosaurs. What makes this so nice is that it doesn't just tell you the "facts" of the story but requires the listener/audience to think about what's being said.

For example there is a part where the older sister teases the boy about his lost dinosaurs "and that's how Sam's book got milk on the pages". The illustration shows a bowl of cereal spilled over her head and an upset Harry being pulled away by his shocked mother.

My only criticism is that Sam refers to Stupid old dinosaurs which is not a word we like to encourage (stupid, that is. We're OK with the word dinosaurs) I simply replace it with "Silly" old dinosaurs which also keeps Corbin from interrupting with "she shouldn't say that".
