Short Updates

Posted by Scott at 11:45 PM

My baby Claire Marie just hopped on the bus on her way to her first day of seventh grade. Michelle will take the rest later in the van. 6:44am

Carpooled into the office w/my boss. Today is my busy Wednesday morning -- full of international conference calls discussing tech issues. 8:41am

Conference call mania is over. As usual I have a bunch of "action items" to follow up with. Better to have too much work than too little. 11:27am

Irony: Bill Clinton is speaking at the DNC Convention on St. Monica's feast day. No, really. Hat tip to @CurtJester for pointing it out. 1:50pm

Got something in my Inbox that seemed like yet another urban legend, but Snopes.com tells me it's not. Awesome! (related link) 2:38pm

Reviewed some basic computer stuff with Claire for her computer class. Believe it or not, we've no nerds in the house besides me... yet. 8:11pm

I feel like writing some non-work related Perl tonight but should probably focus on sleep. 8:34pm

I can't believe I logged back into the work network to send two more emails, but hey, most of my customers are 6+ hours ahead of me! 9:41pm

So now, refresh iTunes podcast area, choose one, and it's time for bed. G'Night for real... 9:42pm

Hey John Kerry: "No aborting our future! Not now! Not ever!" We abort more in 1 day than the number of those tortured in the WOT total! 9:44pm

Comments

That last remark is my knee jerk response to John Kerry saying at last night's convention: "No Torture! Not now! Not Ever!" It just gets my goat to watch a politician get all moralistic about the supposed torturing of enemy combatants found on the battlefield, but absolutely defend the snuffing out of millions of innocent unborn children every year because doing anything about the latter is "above my paygrade." Bah!
