Friday Updates

Posted by Scott at 11:59 PM

Good morning! Once again, because of final exams, Claire took the bus to school. I dropped Abby off at Middle School and head down to Boxborough. I listened to more of "Live of Mary". Today's chapters: Joseph learns of Mary's pregnancy, the trip to Bethlehem, and the Nativity. Enjoying another Friday "bagel day" at the office while I catch up on the many overnight work emails. Michelle is having a mammogram today and no, they don't charge her half price. 9:46am

Via CSLewisDaily: The enemy will not see you vanish into God's company without an effort to reclaim you - C.S. Lewis 9:53am

Lots of news coming out about Pope John Paul II's upcoming beatification - (related link) 10:03am

Next Major Version of Firefox is Ready to Test (related link) . Oh wait, it doesn't do H.264 video?? But does support WebM format video? Mozilla must Be Evil™, like Google, who's doing the same thing. ;-p 2:44pm

Best line from this week's TWiG podcast: “Sudoku is a DDOS attack on the human mind.” 3:35pm

Reasonably productive afternoon. Near the end logged my hours and wrote my status reports. Unfortunately left on the late side. Listened to more of "Life of Mary" on the way home. Tonight's chapters: the circumcision of Jesus, the visit of the Magi, and the presentation in the Temple. When I got home Michelle told me her Cardio Blast class went well tonight. Timothy and Claire were working together making cream puffs. I'm starting to think Tim likes any project, as long as he learns something new. 7:39pm

Some Facebook stats. Interesting and a bit creepy to me. Meanwhile this page highlights the dramatic extent papers like the Washington Post are integrating themselves with Facebook. 8:06pm

The next Studio Ghibli movie, “Arrietty the Borrower”, is expected to arrive this summer. Bridgit Mendler (Teddy from Disney's "Good Luck Charlie") will be the voice of the main character. 8:22pm
