Good morning all! Chaotic day here. Claire has an orthodontist appointment. Michelle has an MRI. I'll be VPN'd into the office. 6:25am

Briefly booted the work laptop in its Ubuntu persona. Always impressed at how efficiently it can do its system updates. Back to WinXP now... 8:53am

Gadget aid: Hug a Plug. (related link) Brilliant idea! I can think of a few places to use these. 9:02am

Carbon offsets? Look at these trees and farms. (related link) We got yer "carbon offsets" right hea! ;-] 9:13am

Grr! (related link) spec's RSS/Atom feeds in their header, but it doesn't really exist. 9:41am

Suddenly MoveOn.org seems much more comfortable with Gen. BetrayUs, I mean, Petraeus (related link) 10:09am

RT @thinkgeek: Today will be partly iPhoney with an 80% chance of Android smugness. Poor reception showers expected in late afternoon. 11:00am

Took the family downtown for lunch after Michelle's MRI. Also picked up my car on the way back (annual state inspection) 2:26pm

Color me impressed by how well those "cameraphone" snapshots turned out. I guess the HTC EVO's optics/sensor do better than I expected! 2:30pm

Another review of Radium, my favorite way to listen to Internet radio (including Sirius/XM satellite) on MacOSX is up! (related link) 2:36pm

Back from a good Step 'n abs class. Meanwhile Michelle took the kidlets for an evening swim. So ready for some dinner... 7:04pm

Got the boys down to bed and Abby's at a sleepover. Sanity returns to the household as the sun sets over our tree line. 8:21pm

Tried 9 new tests I was working on today. Crash 'n burn. "Who knew modeling would be so hard!" Never pictured those words from me, eh? ;-] 8:24pm

Remember the rant against the cellular industry I posted the other day? (related link) The industry responds: (related link) 8:33pm

But Mommy I don't wanna look at C++ & Visual Studio anymore tonight! I'm going to study a bit, pray some more, & get some rest. G'Night all! 8:49pm
