Short Updates

Posted by Scott at 09:43 PM

Good morning! I was talking about eyes with Claire since we're both near sighted. The subject of the blind spot came up. I showed her this classic demo (related link) which she thought was really cool! 8:35am

Michelle is taking her bike to Golds to teach her 20/20/20 class. The boys are downstairs watching "VeggieTales: Abe and the Amazing Promise" (related link) I'm VPN'd into the Finland servers for the day. 8:58am

401(k) to IRA rollover request completed. Fidelity does make it pretty simple. It is depressing only because it makes you look at your investment balances, which hasn't been fun this past year. 10:05am

Reel.com is no more! I used to peruse their "Coming Soon" DVD section to get ideas for my Netflix queue. Does anyone have a source that they recommend to know what's coming out the in the next few weeks? 10:30am

A Fairpoint Communications truck came by and started working on our phone wiring. I thought it rather odd considering we haven't had a land line in several years. After I tried to find out what was going on, he pulled out his work order and realized he had the wrong address. 11:59am

NYTimes: "Climate Change Seen as Threat to U.S. Security" (related link) 1:03pm

Just watched/listened to the President's Town Hall in New Hampshire. He was very civil but I can't help but wonder how many of these requirements he's expecting under the new law will help lower costs. A few, yes, but most no. 2:16pm

Anyone planning on watching the Perseid meteor shower tonight? I'd like to, but it sounds like you have to stay up pretty late to see 'em. 3:22pm

Claire convinced me that we should take a trip to Milford's newest coffee house, but unfortunately it was closed for the day. Ah well. 7:37pm

Trying not to be mad about a serious door ding someone left on my car these past few days. A dent with a good gouging of the paint. Ugh! 7:39pm
