What to expect when you are matriculating

… a new baby. I wonder if it already has a Twitter account.

by

A Ph.D student in informatics at Indiana University, Kevin is rich in spirit. He wrestles and reads with his kids, does a hilarious Christian Slater imitation and lights up his wife's days. He thinks deeply about many things, including but not limited to basketball, politics, microblogging, parenting, online communities, complex systems and design theory. He didn't, however, think up this profile.

A funny thing happened on the way to my doctoral degree …

Don't Panic
A new Makice is expected in March

We are officially switching from man-to-man to a zone in time for March Madness. Welcome as this news is, it also has our family trip to Boston for CHI 2009 (among other things) somewhat tentative.

I would pledge to Twitter from the delivery room, but I can’t text that fast. It would go something like this:

Amy: AAAAARRRGGGGGHHHH! (labor pains)

Me: Wait, don’t go so fast. How do you capitalize letters on this touchpad?

Amy: AAAAARRRGGGGGHHHH! (spousal abuse)

Maybe we can teach Carter to do that part.

Congrats to Amy, who is currently doing all the heavy lifting.

    I am so excited for your family. Zaphod if its a boy and Trillian if its a girl? School + new baby = pressure. I know you will make it. In fact, in my experience it is better than work + new baby. Keep us updated
