Short Updates

Posted by Scott at 11:44 PM

Clearing the fog out of my eyes so that I can take the family to Mass. What did I miss overnight? :-) 5:45am

Back from Mass and breakfast. Claire was so so happy that they didn't make any mistakes altar serving. 9:34am

Michael read me "Zack's Alligator" (related link) -- a cute little story about a keychain alligator that comes to life. 11:10am

Claire and I worked together to clean out the gutters. Michelle and I are going to take the kids to the pool. 2:24pm

We only got to swim for about 15-20 minutes before the life guards cleared the swimming pool because of rumbles of thunder. Enough for me. 3:19pm

Ah finally some rain! It's been out there on the Doppler for a while and we were wondering whether it'd get here. The grass could use it! 5:01pm

Keeping my mouth shut while reading media speculation about what AMD is doing to compete against the Intel Atom. (related link) 5:09pm

Tweaked my homepage's style sheet so that it looks decent on "handheld" class browsers like Opera Mini using the "@ media" selector. 5:49pm

Researching the origins of coffee as a "cup of Joe" for Michelle. There are some interesting theories out there... 7:17pm

Wow! Amazon S3 is down?! That's almost like Google search being down. 7:24pm

Paint me as the last to notice: One's Netflix Queue webpage supports an AJAX'y style "drag 'n drop" for re-ordering your DVD priority queue. 7:57pm

Reading a bit of background on the obscure company that made one of my favorite gadgets: the Psion Series 5. (related link) 8:33pm

Reading the Navarre Bible commentaries on today's Mass Gospel reading before my eyes slam shut. Hope I can sleep through tonight's storms. 9:08pm
