Short Updates
Good morning! Overnight my Mac transcoded the first half of "The Odyssey" into MP3 format. I'm burning an MP3-CD of it now for the upcoming commutes. The kids have a delayed start today so I'll be heading straight to work this morning.
Got an email this morning for the upcoming Palm Pre 2. Sadly it comes out a bit late for Claire. And it seems to use TI's "OMAP" processor and not one of our SnapDragon line like the Palm Pixi did.
Last summer I bought two "In the 603" t-shirts. Now that it's gettin' chilly, I'm considering one of their new hoodies.
Ordered a new "In the 603" hoodie from @Liveinthe603. This follows the 2 t-shirts I bought last summer.
Brisk, party sunny drive in with temps ranging 30-40°F. Offered up a set of Glorious Mysteries and then listened to The Odyssey the rest of the way. Stopped by DD's for hot cider and some pumpkin donuts. Now for a day of testing and debug...
6 reasons why “Do you want more [children]?” isn’t the right question
2010 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter - Would love to get one for hauling our clan and their friends around... if I had $56K ... and a tall garage door. And it's a diesel! Bonus!
Via @guardiantech: Android and RIM teams lay into Jobs - but Google criticised on 'open' claim (related link)
Went with my teammates out for some lunch at a Thai place in Maynard, MA. Got to ride in a VW Passat 2.0Turbo. Interesting to compare/contrast the interior amenities.
Now that I'm back from lunch, has The Steve announced Mac OSX 10.7 LOLCat yet?
“We are at Jesus’ disposal. If he wants you to be sick in bed, if he wants you to proclaim His work in the street, if he wants you to clean the toilets all day, that’s all right, everything is all right. We must say, ‘I belong to you. You can do whatever you like.’ And this is our strength. This is the joy of the Lord.” – Mother Teresa
OK, one more quote: “We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.” – C. S. Lewis
After work went straight to RCIA. Reviewed the Nicene Creed, said at every Sunday Mass. Afterwards swung by Subway for my late dinner. Now watching "The Middle" with the girls before calling it a night.
