Short Updates

Posted by Scott at 09:34 PM

Good morning! I dropped the girls off and Michelle is about to drop the boys off. I'm still feeling tired but will VPN into the office network. Hopefully I don't crash and end up with "ASDFGHJKL" imprinted on my forehead. 8:12am

"Hell begins on the day when God grants us a clear vision of all that we might have achieved, of all the gifts which we have wasted, of all that we might have done which we did not do" ---Gian Carlo Menotti. 10:11am

Took my lovely bride for lunch and a coffee run afterwards. As we were waiting for our drinks, I noticed her eyelashes are growing back. That's 3 for 3. Hair, eyebrows, and now finally eyelashes. I suppose it's no coincidence that that's the order she lost 'em too. 12:19am

Well my constant sneezing has moved on, or should I say, moved back. Now I have a constant clearing of the throat thanks to post nasal drip. Today's pollen count: a perfect 10.0. Where's that rain forecasters were talkin' about?? 12:26am

Had enough fun for now. Squashed some bugs, but tired of sitting. Time to prep for some exercise... 5:11pm

Back from a so-so Step & abs class. It was hard to get motivated considering I've wanted a nap since about 10am this morning. :-/. 7:07pm

I watched Chuck, season 3 episode 13, "Chuck vs. the Other Guy". (related link) with Michelle & the girls. I think it was one of the best episodes of this season. Shaw is exposed and killed, Chuck saves Sarah, Casey apprehends The Ring's director and is reinstated as a spy. And Sarah admits she loves Chuck. No cliffhanger awaiting the next episode. Good night all! 9:30pm

Google vs Apple: Google Doesn't Need To Win
Comment: The author argues that Apple makes its money selling the phone. Google makes its money in the placement of ads, just as they do in Google search.
Excerpt: Google doesn't need to "win"; they just need to "not lose", to keep the game open, and to drive open technologies to the next level where they can compete successfully. In the long run, a closed system can only thrive if it's the only player in the game. If we've learned one thing from the growth of...

Try, Try Again
