If we ever have another baby, I suspect that the hospital having Wi-Fi connectivity<\/a> will not be something she gets excited about.<\/p>\n

Parents to be: call ahead to your hospital and ask them if they’ve got wi-fi, and if they don’t, suggest that they do. It costs the hospital basically nothing to set up, and there’s something in the soul of a father that demands that he share the fruit of his loins with the entire world. In the old days, he’d stomp through the waiting room handing out cigars. Today, he’s curled in the corner on a laptop, FTP-ing images from a compact flash card directly to a webserver. Friends and family are all over the place; they wish they could be there, and they can’t. But if there’s one thing that technology can do well, it is bridge distances.<\/p>\n

That’s all very well, but even though the gent writing the blog of his wife’s delivery notes that he was only blogging while his wife was sleeping or chatting with the nurses, I think I’ll do things (should such a circumstance come up) the old-fashioned way, and wait until I get home to blog about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
