HTML for Babies: Volume 1 of Web Design for Babies Board book
by John C Vanden-Heuvel Sr

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0615487661/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0615487661&linkCode=as2&tag=sminline-20

I'm not the author and ok, I lied about the no comments: Is this a joke for programmers or filling a niche. After reading the reviews, some are obvious jokes, but some seemed disturbed that this book won't teach their babies coding.

Favorite of the reviews: "Eager to delve into the fray of HTML, I was quickly dismayed to see it is too complex for me to grasp at this age. Perhaps when I am two it will start to make sense."

Like Beer? You'll love Leesburg

It’s a great time to be a beer lover. New breweries are popping up while established brewmasters are experimenting with styles from around the globe. Beer bars spreading the gospel of craft beer are celebrating ales from their back yards as well as from across the ocean. Restaurants are offering special dinners that pair local produce with award-winning beers.

And all of this is just in Leesburg.

Burglar surprised to discover the lady he's robbing is an armed ax-throwing champ

From Boing Boing

"A retired competitive ax-thrower surprised burglars who'd broken into her home and chased them off. Robyn Irvine of Hemet, CA caught a burglar trying to steal her jewelry while she slept with her cat, and she snatched up her favorite ax and brandished it at him until he ran off. She says she chose not to throw it at him, though she's pretty sure that she could have paralyzed him if she'd chosen. Police later arrested 22-year-old Nicholas Uolla with many of her possessions"
