I got an email today from someone who suggested I check out their friend's blog. It's a nice blog, though I have yet to get really into it. What amused me though was their family portrait.

At first glance, though I couldn't pin down why, the picture looks like 'iFamily, from Apple Computer.' Further introspection (and witty repartee from friends) identified the shiny white floor, the Steve Jobsian hallmark black shirt and blue jeans, and the Wallycleaverness of the whole tableau as primary factors. Then of course there's the fact that they're the Newtons. "They probably all play sports together during the day, and board games at night."

And you can get them in any color you want, as long as it's white.

Okay, I'm really just kidding. I'm really just sad that my family hasn't had a real family portrait since I was seven years old.
