Short Updates

As predicted the kids have a snow day today. (related link) At this rate they'll never get a summer vacation. 06:26am

I'm going to eat a quick breakfast and head outside to clear the snow while I can. Soon it's going to transition to a sloppy wintry mix. 06:28am

Watched the video trailer for the DVD "Demographic Winter" while downing my breakfast. (related link) 07:11am

Just showered up after snowblowing ~5-6 inches of snow in the sleet and rain. I should have started an hour earlier before it turned warmer. 10:08am

In this weather the snowblower is prone to clogging up its chute. I felt like I was an environmental researcher taking ice core samples. 10:10am

All of my clothes were soaked through with rain. Miserable cleaning weather. It'll make me appreciate Florida all the more tomorrow. 10:12am

Wow! My health insurance, notorious for dodging payments, (deductibles, co-pays, etc) paid for 100% my physical last month with no hassle. 11:03am

You can't make this stuff up! "Cold wave in India attributed to global warming" (related link) Ummm. Okay... 02:46pm

The fact that Facebook is now making it marginally easier to quit/delete your account disturbs me. Why was it so hard in the 1st place? 03:18pm

It takes so little to make Mighty Timbo happy, like letting him plug in my iPod and sync it. He loves gadgets! 04:13pm

Spent most of the afternoon debugging a large regression failure with no luck. I'd hoped I would find a clue as to why they fail. sigh 06:13pm

Just as I was about to give up on the debug, a sudden "ah-hah!" moment hit. Tonight's regressions should run much better. 07:01pm

Ran out to an ATM. Weird storm! There's all of this fresh overnight snow, but also huge puddles from all of the rain we had during the day. 08:00pm
