How 6-year-olds think about evolution…
Had an interesting conversation with Henry tonight. Can’t quite remember how we started – he was asking something to do with the Ice Age, or the Stone Age. Then he asked, “How did the first person get here?” Now, he’s seen plenty of nature shows; he’s heard of evolution; so…

You, sir, are as they say 'teh winz'! First one out of the gate, my good Elbeno, and an inspiration to us all! HAZZAH!
First, I must say that I am impressed to find your desk both neat and holding all the necessary items: cool thermometer, chapstick, random passnumber generator for work, headphones for jamming during naptime, and small playthings for little hands and mouth. You're a regular boyscout!
Second, you are much MUCH better looking than your icon or your Mii, which at first doesn't sound like much but my other friend's Mii looks JUST LIKE HER and that ain't the best thing, if you get my drift. Congratulations on being cuter than a video game chara! (I will also admit -but don't tell Gary – that I have a weakness for scruffy so *thumbs up*.)
Third, I am friending your flickr YAY! (You do not need to friend me back: heaven's knows you must get enough of me just through lj!)

Well, it's only a photo, but in defense of my artistic skills, it took me over a dozen tries to get the appropriate expression and a decent exposure. Bright sunshine outside.
Re the desk – if you had some sort of device for x-raying photographs (how cool would that be?) you would also see hand sanitizer, a Rubik cube, screen cleaner and an ipod. And a little carved wooden mouse is poking over the edge of the monitor behind my head.
Thanks for the compliment. I'm glad I didn't shave this morning – and I'll be sure to “go Viking” next time you're in town. You've been flickr-friended.

PS. About the Mii… I was severely hampered by hair colour choices. Did Nintendo really need to save a whole 21 bits by cutting a generic RGB pick down to six choices?
