Well, just this last day I’ve noticed some definite changes in Freya.
First, she’s beginning to get Josefin’s eyes.
More importantly and impressively, she’s really starting to use her hands to study things. Before, she was flailing her arms out to just grab stuff, though now there seems to be an ulterior motive : to feel and explore objects and there relative distance. We wake up every morning to Freya grabbing our noses or pinching our cheeks. Not the most pleasant method of waking up, granted, but sweet nonetheless.
Space Invaders Couldn’t Be Bothered, So They Went Home
This year marks the 25th anniversary of one of the classic video games in history : Space Invaders.
25 years and still going strong. There can’t be a mobile telephone in production that hasn’t some variation of this game available. Numerous sites offer Flash/Java incarnations. Even two of the kids at my school are currently playing it as I write.
So, in this special year, what have Midway or Taito done to celebrate? Well, perhaps I’ve missed it, but the only things I can find are a t-shirt and multi-platform game, which includes a 3D version.
Someone, somewhere, has missed a golden opportunity to earn some dublons.
I haven’t seen a single competition, book, TV program, poster or range of merchandise (except the aforementioned t-shirt.) I haven’t even begun to rack my brain for further money-making ideas, and I’m sure any marketing geek worth his/her salt could do a lot better than my suggestions.
Space Invaders truly missed its opportunity to take over the world.

Haven’t yet seen the film. If it’s any good, which I have a feeling it will be, I’ll consider buying it.
Out With The Old
It’s taken a long time, but I’ve finally found the alternative Web-browser to use. Couldn’t appreciate Opera, though it’s doubtless an excellent browser. Decided to go for Firefox instead. Hoorah.
