Short Updates

Reading: For once we may do something more technologically advanced than Intel -- 40 nanometer silicon. (related link) 6:23am

Today is one of those morning where I felt like I needed toothpicks in my eyes to pry them open. Alas, time to get off my duff & get ready. 6:26am

Smooth commute. Enjoyed listening to Thomas Sowell via audio book. Checked out the new cafeteria's breakfast bar. Good (and healthy) stuff. 9:01am

OMGoodness! My build regressions passed last night w/o any weirdness/warnings/errors? That can't last long. IT needs to change something. 9:44am

Had a 2 hr division mtg that in some countries counts as torture. Afterwards I hit the salad bar & had lunch w/3 co-workers. Steamy outside! 12:46am

Were you all aware that J.K. Rowling is going to publish "The Tales of Beedle the Bard"? I wasn't, but you can now pre-order it on Amazon. 12:47am

Tell me how Abby won't go into a "cute overload" when she sees this story. (related link) [or Michelle for that matter...] 1:15pm

That upcoming J.K.Rowling book? $7.60 for the Standard Edition, $100 for the Collector's Edition. Which has fanboy written all over it? 1:21pm

Smooth commute home. Oh look. An issue of Envoy magazine arrived. Haven't seen that in a while. 6:27pm

(related link) - Chumby - Tiny Linux goodness! 8:03pm

Thanks for the J.K. Rowling heads up. Last I'd read, she wasn't planning on publishing it....will be a nice Christmas gift to myself. ;-)

Oh and I loved the story about the dog adopting the tiger cubs. Too sweet.

I think the alert that Amazon sent me was focused more on this new "Collector's Edition", but at $100... I don't think so!

FoxNews did a video on that tiger cub story near the end of their morning show today. Thanks to TiVo I called Abby and her friends into the room so that they call "Awww" all over again. ;-)
