Smooth commute in w/sunny, cool, & breezy weather. Stopped for a steeped vanilla chai latte. Now to catchup on email I missed yesterday. 8:59am

While some are anxious for the next gen iPhone, I'm more interested in AT&T's release of the BlackBerry Bold. (related link) 9:46am

Cleaned my office keyboard and mouse. Who knew there were actual keys under that grunge!? 10:26am

Back from lunch with my spiritual director. Continuing my morning scripting work... 1:25pm

Stepped out with a coworker on a short pilgrimage to St. Arbucks for a mocha frappuccino. 3:39pm

Perl 5.8.x supports native gzip'ing on file I/O?! That will save me so much disk space! Changed a key script... 5:05pm

Hoping the commute home is smooth because the weather outside is GOR-GE-OUS! 5:06pm

Merged on hwy behind a Subaru wallpapered w/bumper stickers. Imagine my shock to discover that they were all "left of center" stickers. 6:44pm

Michelle's telling me that just as she thought she was done teaching for the week, as she was leaving the gym she was asked to sub tomorrow. 7:06pm

Spent a little time reading and then a little time studying how MovableType does file management. 9:40pm

Dropped Claire off & drove down to Marlborough. I stopped by the office, but am heading to an off site seminar for the rest of the day. 8:56am

I've been offline most of the day. I commuted straight from my low power design seminar to friends who live in a cellular dead zone. 7:31pm

In good news: Today Claire beat her 1 mile run time by 1 minute (relative to the beginning of the year) & was the fastest girl in her class. 7:33pm

Wow! The Motley Fool is actually sounding bullish on AMD, especially with their acquisition of ATI. (related link) A first! 8:31pm

Just woke up from a dream that I was heading to the airport but had left my ID, ticket info, and luggage all back at the hotel. 5:41am

Happy Feast of Pentecost! A Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's out there. This is a day Michelle is proud bringing the whole clan to Mass. 5:45am

Having a big Mother's Day breakfast at Nathaniel's in Nashua. Something more than the usual donuts. ;-) 8:34am

My cameraphone on the i880 does a decent job compared to the last one. Here are 3 shots from this morning. (related link) 10:22am

It's a beautiful, mild sunny day. We're going to do a lot of work on the yard this morning (Michelle's desire), including its first mowing. 10:26am

The Bilik estates are looking trim. In the "well, duh!" department, what I difference freshly sharpened blades for the tractor made. 1:58pm

Ran some errands for Michelle then tried to perfect my power slide technique on "Rainbow Road". Time to grill. 4:05pm

Time to sink our teeth into grilled burgers and hot dogs, capping off a gorgeous day. 4:49pm

Ah, while the boys played a little game they made up with their WebKinz, I had some quiet time to read. 6:58pm

Had a rough night of sleep. I woke up for a couple of hours in the middle of the night. 6:35am

Last night looked into having Amazon S3 used as a weblog host. It'd be super reliable, but one couldn't prevent hotlinking. 6:59am

Time to get moving. I'm going to workout soon. Later we'll do some yard work -- either work on the sprinklers or mow, weather permitting. 8:07am

Back from Milford Golds & running errands. It's a bit overcast & cool out there today. I'd like to take the family out for lunch. Not sure. 10:56am

Michelle and I are going to fire up the sprinklers for the first time this season and re-calibrate them. 11:15am

Caught a nap to try to compensate for lack of sleep last night. Woke to the sound of siblings arguing. Better get going and break it up. 3:14pm

Would the NH DMV let us put this on our minivan packed with Bilik children? (related link) 3:19pm

At the Milford Pasta Loft with Michelle and the four younger kids. 4:48pm

Tried "Rainbow Road" on Mario Kart Wii. It's even more "on the edge of your seat" fun than it already was on the GameCube and Nintendo DS! 7:10pm
