Child: Mom, can we get one of those big magnets that can lift a car?
Parent: No, I'm afraid that kind of thing is too big to bring to the house.
Child: But we could have it deliverrrred!
Parent: [incomprehensible laughter]
Child: No, really, we can have it delivered!!
Parent: [Reflects that Amazon Prime has its hidden costs.]

Then we drove the gorgeous stretch of Highway 1 between Santa Cruz and Morro Bay. We were checking in to the very nice Anderson Inn when the following conversation took place:
Innkeeper (finishing check-in process): Oh, and we don't allow pets.
Child: But we have pets!
Innkeeper (wondering if I'm going to try to smuggle an Alsatian upstairs): Really?
Child: Yes! A banana slug and a ladybug.
Innkeeper: [eyes me quizzically]
Child: Oh wait — we let the banana slug go, and the ladybug flew away...now what we have is a bucket of slime.

Wednesday, August 25, 2010 at 5:33PM I had a great time last Friday on Tech News Today with Sarah Lane, Tom Merritt, Erik Lanigan, and Mark Turpin. Topics included the Dell Thunder prototype, the Google movie, Google's Wi-Fi lawsuits, replacing removed Google Street View buildings, and more as described here. If you haven't yet subscribed and/or tuned in to Tech News Today live, weekdays at 2:30 p.m. Pacific, you should. It's informative, fun, and polished (they, like, prepare) — what more could you ask?
