And a belated congratulations and thanks from me, too. Not only is Daniel a fine name, it’s Elton John’s best song.

Congratulations! and Mazel Tov!

It’s said Ben Franklin attended a flight of the freres Montgolfier’s balloon, and responded to someone’s question “What is the use of it?” with “Well, what is the use of a newborn baby?”

Congratulations, Conor, and best wishes to you all. And thank you a lot for blogging here – I’ve learned some things I’m glad to know and look forward to follow-up reading (and thinking).

“there is something profoundly depressing about watching those who want to cram all of the world’s complexities into a single, simplistic ideological viewpoint.”

this is so true.

in fact, i think monocausal explanations are the source of all the problems in the world.

best of luck with the little one, and thanks for all of your good work, here and elsewhere.

Thanks Daniel, funnily enough all my friends called Daniel have commented on the wiseness of the choice!

That was the basic criterion on which we chose it. They pronounce it Danielle here in Brazil, which I am going to have to explain to him at some point, but it is also a family name in west Cork where my Mum’s family are from.
