Rom nom nom

Posted by Scott at 11:59 PM

Good morning! Claire took the early bus to school. I drove Abby to Middle School and stopped by Cafe on the Oval for a quick breakfast among the counter critters. Listened to more of "Reamde" on the drive down to Boxborough. Now nursing a tall mug o' hot tea and catching up on overnight email. 9:29am

Going to try using FastMail's new beta webmail interface today. They take their already fast email service and now make it more AJAX'y. 9:50am

Two out of Three Broadcast Nets Ignore Soft Recall of Chevy Volts. “GM certainly isn't getting much scrutiny from the mainstream news media over the recall of the heavily subsidized autos. Two of the three broadcast networks have so far avoided sharing this story about the Volt, a gas-electric plug-in hybrid vehicle that they have hyped since January 2007.” 10:38am

Haven't We Lived Through This Primary Before? Yes, four years ago. And history is trying to repeat itself. 2:55pm

Left work around 6 o'clock, catching up on news with my dad and listening to "Reamde" along the commute. Helped Abby with her math homework while having some reheated dinner. Watched a couple of shows with the kids while catching on a bit on my Google Reader account. Got the boys tucked in bed with their prayers. 9:00pm

It looks like we're right on the edge for how tomorrow's precipitation will come down. Snow, ice pellets, rain. A couple of degrees either way will make all the difference. Either way I plan on working from home tomorrow. Meanwhile forecasts like this inspire prayers from the children. “Please God, give us a snow day? Pullease!?” 9:19pm

Rising very early before dawn,
he left and went off to a deserted place, where he prayed.
