kids on the internet

eee.ystrd.com or .net. or .org.. sometimes they just gooooooogle, and sometimes they actually read what they are typing.. I see alot of "dad dad dad dad whan arr yuo cuming hoam?" while I'm at work.. and lots of searches for "bar bee" if you check the search histories, you can find "sreck" (rhymes with wreck), "cartone netwok", nicolodian, disneyCars (the only group capable of marketing enough to children that kids can remember) and discovreekizd.com

The 4 year old typical goes for the history and selects, and selects until what he wants pops up. passing up the joys of online banking, stock tickers, baby care tips, and oodles of online shopping (thank goodness they haven't figured out one click.) Nico wants an ebay.com account so he can buy things, and Marina spends her days finding games to put them in the history for the 4 year old to find. (even if she doesn't realize this is her primary function.) Today theres some mysterious white powder on the keyboard.. doesn't appear to affect anything but the arrows, and the ctrl key. (which is not part of anyones keyset but zoe's) which reminds me...

The Last Dell service call for the late laptop (which served this function) and was finally met with an untimely golf ball incursion. was serviced by a very kind, and knowledgable 16 year old who noted, amongst the DVD and keyboard replacement, that the batteries were still sticky. (typically I've found it to be coke syrup.) He serviced them by cleaning up the syrup, and returning it to service.
