Back in New England

Posted by Scott at 10:37 PM

Bag checked in. Through airport security. Just sitting at the gate before I fly across the U.S. - San Diego to Boston on the redeye. 12:33am (9:33pm PST)

The plane is about 3/4ths full. Glad there's plenty of empty middle seats, including my row. Powering down the phone's radio... 1:23am

Touched down at Boston Logan. 6:50am

On Rt-90 on the coach bus heading up to Nashua, NH 8:55am

Back at the Nashua bus terminal, just waiting for Michelle to drive up. Eager to see all the kidlets again. 9:52am

Feeling much better after a good nap. Watching a bit of Alice in Wonderland with the family, available via Netflix streaming. 12:46am

Picked up Claire from a track meet. Bought some brake light bulbs. Timothy helped me install 'em. Then we installed a Snow Leopard version of KidPix3 on one of the iMacs for the boys to tinker with. Now the boys and I are watching Doctor Who, Flesh and Stone. 3:15pm

Having dinner with the family at Amigos. 5:31pm

This seems like the kind of info Timothy and perhaps the twins would like to know. When we got home Timothy and I did some research into what might be causing Just Dance to not load. I setup the girls to watch "Flesh and Stone" as we boys watched it while the girls went to Confession. I got the boys tucked in bed with their prayers. The rest of us are about to follow suit. 8:58pm

Amidst the busy work week, I didn't realize Netflix released an app for my Android phone. Installed and tried it out. Works fine! 9:27pm

Just to show what you can do in the Chrome Browser, Google worked with Rovio to make a free Chrome App of Angry Birds. I installed it and yes, it's just like the MacOSX desktop version but in a browser tab. 9:43pm

Humor: Sooo many Starbucks! 10:05pm

Twitter and Facebook Both Quietly Kill RSS, Completely. They both started out with easy, open formats for archiving your data. Then slowly they made it more and more difficult. Luckily Google Buzz still has a simple RSS format for archiving. At least for now... 10:32pm

Happy to be sleeping in my own bed tonight. Tomorrow we're up early as the girls are serving the 7am Mass. Good night! 10:36pm
