Some updates on Andrew McCallum, taken from his brother David’s notes in Facebook (for more on Andrew, see here and here):
Thursday, April 10, afternoon — Coasting
No change to speak of, today. Andrew’s nurses and doctors are trying to deal with a fever and keep his temperature at a safe level.

April 10, 2008 – 2:10 pm

Actual crib soon to be occupied by Urhines Kendall Icy Eight Special K.
I just heard that Deenster gave birth to a healthy 8-pound baby boy. Rumour has it that his name is Gabriel, but until I hear actual confirmation, I shall assume that his name is Urhines Kendall Icy Eight Special K.
Congrats to the Deenster [...]
I’ll be on the News Tonight
January 3, 2007 – 7:48 pm
“Hey, Joey!” said Amber Mac as she came into the office earlier today and gave me a big hug. The camera guy who came with her was a little bit confused until she explained that we knew each other socially. “I normally don’t hug people I interview,” she explained.

In addition to my regular posts (which will return to their regular posting frequency), the Tucows Blog will also feature articles [...]

The Cleaned-Up Blogroll
August 12, 2006 – 3:18 pm
Still Under Construction
If this blog currently looks half-done, that’s because it is. I’m generally pleased with the look of the content section — that’s the middle column — but the sidebars need a lot of work, and that temporary title graphic has got to go. Work and life have conspired to keep me busy as [...]
