Short Updates
Reading Rhode Island's Bishop Tobin: "Proponents of gay marriage say that the Church won't be forced to witness such marriages. Don't believe it. And other related problems will inevitably arise." (related link)
It's going to be a hot one today. Low 90's in April! In New Hampshire!? I'm heading straight into the office. No need to drop any kids off at school this morning (or any morning this week...).
Smooth commute in. I tried a different route, just taking Rt. 13 and Rt 2. It's a little congested around Leominster, MA but overall you sustain highway speeds. The temps really shot up during the drive.
Updated the aging firmware on my Garmin, a first generation Nuvi.
Still trying to wrap my brain around the 2D graphics accelerator designed by our sister division Finland.
Went with a coworker to try out the cafeteria at the Motorola building across the parking lot. Not bad. Not as good as the cafeteria we had back in Marlborough, but better than the one in this building. Man, what a hot day to be trekking across the parking lot. It's about 90F/32C out there.
TAN announces a new MP3 CD audiobook, "Life of Mary". (related link)
AMD Launches the ATI Radeon HD 4770, the world's first graphics processor to use a state-of-the-art 40 nanometer manufacturing process. (related link)
I've seen this before but I still get a laugh out of it. (related link) It's even more funny to me as I watch our marketing try to pack more and more creeping featurism into mobile phones.
We tried to watch Jim Carrey in "Yes Man" (related link) but decided to return it about 20 minutes into the movie. Don't you hate it when a rental has been sitting on your shelf for several days and when you finally watch it, you regret holding onto it that long, stalling your rental queue.
Snapshots I took today:
