Going to try my first Philip K. Dick sci-fi novel, Ubik, on this morning's drive. 6:50am

I get so many great tips during the day from Twitter, Google+, email, etc. Thankful for ReadItLater so that I can stay work focused. 9:15am

Good morning all! It's a pretty light day for Michelle and the kids. Unfortunately it's not exactly "go to the pool" weather today with highs only in the mid-70's. Had a reasonable drive in. There was still a bit of a gaper's block near the area of yesterday's fire as folks are in awe to see this piece of history scorched by fire. Enjoyed the first hour of the audio book. 9:26am

Due to some interactive debugging I was doing with the west coast, I didn't leave work until about 6:30. I caught up with River Grove news and my mom's status for the first half. Listened to more of Ubik the rest of the way. 7:45pm

Am I the only grown up happy that tomorrow is the release of Phineas & Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension? 9:29pm

After having difficulty with the soft audio levels of "Ubik", decided to burn an MP3 CD of it to listen through the car stereo on the next commute. 9:30pm

Picked up Claire from another run she did with the cross country team tonight. She and the team ran ~6 1/2 miles tonight. Got the boys tucked in bed with their prayers. Good night all! 9:32pm

Video: 8 ways to make awesome Spotify playlists via CNET video. I learned some techniques that may revive my interest in Spotify. Otherwise I'll cancel the trial subscription. 9:38pm
