me running my blog

For years friends have texted, e-mailed and posted on my Facebook Wall: “Were you in Mrs. Doubtfire!?”

For years I’ve responded, "No, I’m not Robin Williams and Sally Field’s older daughter. And yes, I know I look a lot like her."

For years, my real sister has joked that we had another sister out there who we needed to find. She even circled her picture on the Mrs. Doubtfire VHS box when she was about 6 years old.

Today through the wonders of the Internet I found the real girl who played Lydia Hillard. Actually, through one Twitter conversation she found me.

Lisa Jakub, which I’ll admit is a name I’ve Googled many times over the years, tweeted to me. And well the mystery of what my doppelgänger looked like now was solved. (Spoiler: It appears we both still have unruly curly hair and big cheeks.)

Turns out Jakub and I now have something else in common — she is a writer. And a very good one at that. She is writing a book about her experience as a child actor and sharing some anecdotes on her blog.

It’s really interesting stuff and worth reading. Although, I am disappointed to hear she doesn’t get any money every time she appears on TBS and I get one of those texts or messages.

Jakub’s blog.

In the future... it's JIF.

Why I Wish Microsoft Started Making Computers Years Ago

And if Microsoft did that when touch became so important to laptops, I might have never changed the subject to terrible trackpads when I sat down with Angiulo, and never started recommending Mac laptops over Windows PCs for the last couple of years.

My full editorial

Arthur P. Stern

My grandfather, Arthur P. Stern, passed away last night. He was 87 and had an enormous impact on my life, but also on yours. He was instrumental in inventing the color television and GPS.

I haven't shared much publicly about his impact on me and my interest in technology, but this seemed like a good time to start.

There's more on his professional accomplishments here: http://www.ieeeghn.org/wiki/index.php/Arthur_P._Stern

So awesome I can almost look past the fact that it's made with Flash.
