In the last 24 hours, I posted the following to Twitter:

Saturday, 0104: @afuna I'm weirdly a little more likely to use an app than I am to visit a website for some things, just because it feels smoother somehow.
Saturday, 0105: @afuna So my thought was: a) people who wanted an app/were apprehensive/didn't know about m. would have an app, & b) instant updates.
Saturday, 0106: @afuna The process of bookmarking a website as an app was a bear on the Pixi; I haven't tried on Android yet, & idk about iPhone.

Saturday, 0249: @MattRichardson That is still so cool. Wonder how hard it would be to make it talk too. I could see a 2nd mturk task to read the desc aloud.
Saturday, 0333: good night twitter

Saturday, 1544: Turns out the Otter Box case and the car cradle are not compatible with each other. I may have to make some tough decisions.
Saturday, 1606: @jai_dit Oh shit. :(
Saturday, 2143: @kitchenmage ' gluten-containing flour/baking', perhaps? Also gluten-contaminated in some cases.
Saturday, 2152: Stupid sleep schedule.
Saturday, 2227: @kitchenmage Those work as well!
Saturday, 2229: @notlikenormal @techguerilla In two of my friends recently, it's been "members of my family are unhinged *and* know how to use the internet"

I hate that breastfeeding study. Correlation != causality.

More likely, the moms who were *able* to breastfeed longer were able to do so because they took extra time off of work for maternity leave or took an unpaid sabbatical [or just plain quit work] so that they could raise their child. That extra time makes it a hell of a lot easier to breastfeed.

It's more that choosing to take the time off (meaning choosing to take the financial hit) allows for better opportunities to breastfeed, not that automatically choosing to breastfeed means that you're going to earn less as an employee.

If you're planning on staying home *anyway* to raise your children, nursing is less expensive than formula feeding. But if you're still working, the cost of a pump, bottles, etc. is still going to add up.
