Good morning! Michelle watched the rest of Gattaca this morning before the kids got up. It'd been many years since I saw it and was surprised by a few details I'd forgotten.
Global Warming As Cargo Cult Science
Only 32°F now, but will be ~68°F and sunny today. Awesome!
Got a pointer to try versusio.com to compare mobile phones. Punched in "HTC Arrive" and it never heard of it?
Since we're leaning towards the HTC Arrive with WinPhone7/Mango for Abby, I watched this video to get a better feel.
I wasn't away aware that nearly all of Saint Josemaría Escrivá's writings were now available as eBooks for the Kindle. I bought his three classic works: The Way, The Forge, and The Furrow. May buy others later on...
Eventually got my girls up and dressed. We then went for breakfast at DFE. Now Michelle is taking the girls shopping while I hang out at home with the boys. We've finally agreed to go with a phone purchase for Abby, hoping it gets all setup before we leave for the reunion. I might also do a bit of shopping at my alma mater's store.
When I was a high school senior, I had this poster up in room. I didn't realize you could still buy it. :-P
Looked at a bunch of RHIT jackets but could find one I liked as much as my old one from the early 90's. This one is pretty close to what I'd like, but I'll hold off for now, especially since Spring is around the corner. Maybe try again next Fall.
About to order a fourth phone to our plan. First me 'n Michelle. Two years ago Claire. And now... Abby! Dun-dun-duuun. $$
Tim reminded me of this classic Jingle photo.
Finally broke down today and created a BACN email folder. Setting up the rules for it now. Gettin' too much of it.
Renewed the BilikFamily.com domain for another two years. Enough geekery now. Time to go outside and enjoy the sunshine.
After playing a bit on the driveway, the boys and I put 4 basketballs in the car and head over to the school to shoot some baskets and play on the jungle gym. Then we head over to Haywards and split to shakes while watching folks flying model airplanes in the field behind it.
When we got home we watched a few videos while I folded more laundry and helped Timothy setup Apache2 on his laptop. Soon the girls came back from shopping.
For those who've only ever heard of iOS or Android, this is a brief overview of WinPhone7/Mango, which is on Abby's upcoming phone. Internally I'd heard of lot of good things about it so we went that route for Abigail.
The high in Milford, NH today: 79°F. Just awesome! Much higher than predicted. A foretaste of Spring.
Dropped Claire and two of her friends off at Confirmation class.

Did a bit of GReader reading after dropping Claire off. Then tucked the boys in bed with their prayers. I'm not far behind 'em. Good night all!
