One MEEEELION Dollars!

Posted by Scott at 11:59 PM

Good morning! I dropped the girls off at their schools and stopped at Cafe on the Oval for a quick breakfast. Since I got another CD from Lighthouse yesterday, I listened to it on the drive in. It had interesting insights on salvation history and covenants. 9:26am

I got through my morning emails. I have solid meetings from 1 to 6 o'clock this afternoon, so if I want to get any 'real work' done, I'd better get started asap. 9:28am

By the way it looks like Europe is getting the winter we usually get here in New England. I blame "global warming". :-P 9:33am

Via @fredthompson: “Car previously owned by Obama fails to meet eBay asking price of $1 million. Maybe if it'd come with a full tank of gas…” Personally I'd rather have the Pope's old VW Golf. <grin> 10:10am

My coworker swung by my office asking, "Have you played with Windows8 yet?" I said not yet, but will be very soon. I added, "ironically my youngest has played with it." To which she jokingly asked, "Can I call Timothy then?" 10:39am

Had a meh lunch from the cafeteria. Decent chicken parm but the marinara was generic red sauce. Now for my afternoon of calls while squeezing in some debug. 1:02pm

Just discovered the homepage for my ol' hometown. Nice short URL too: vorg.us. (Village of River Grove) 1:33pm

Chrome at last arrives on Android. Yay! But requires Android Ice Cream Sandwich. Boo! It's like iPhone with respect to Siri (only available on newer iPhone 4S models). 1:36pm

Quite the evening. I managed to run Windows8 for the first time. And install tools. And render some images. Meanwhile back on my main machine, I took a peek at our 401(k) for the first time in over a year. I try not to look at it too often because market volatility can make you crazy. But now, time to head home. I'm a bit bummed that I couldn't attend an Opus Dei meeting, but work called... Time to head home. 7:04pm

Smooth drive home. Considering it's well beyond rush hour, is it really a surprise? I listened to more Lighthouse CDs on the drive home. Now just curing my hunger with a reheated bowl of soup. Timothy was excited that I dipped my toes in the Windows 8 pool today. 8:19pm

Over dinner I helped Timothy in doing the basics of an ArchLinux install. Got the boys all tucked in bed with their prayers. After a long day at the office, I'm going to call it a night. Good night all! 9:36pm

“This people honors me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me;
In vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines human precepts.”
Mark 7
