1st Day of Spring
Shared this picture just for my friend @bego who could probably use a mug about now... But then, who wouldn't at this hour?
Good morning! Welcome to the 1st day of spring everyone! Here in southern NH it's ~40°F now but should reach ~73°F w/low-to-medium pollen. #gratefultweet
Welcome to Spring! (again) I dropped the girls off at their schools and head down to Boxborough. I listened to Jimmy Akin's podcast along the way.

Interesting study on app-related power drain, at least for Android. I'd imagine iOS/WinPhone7 could be similar.
Paul Ryan is releasing his budget plan. Democrats, who haven't produced a budget in 1,056 day, are sure to attack it as evil and mean-spirited.
I'm sorry. You picked those degrees (related story) and you're angry with the banks for your $88K debt?
It's too nice a day to stay inside. Went with two of the driver guys to TCLandos for lunch.
As someone who had been married+working 8 years and owned a house by that age, this is hard for me to relate to: Time magazine - Being 30 and Living With Your Parents Isn’t Lame — It’s Awesome Mustn't roll eyes.

Struggled with a debug issue at work this afternoon. Left late, listening to This Week in Google #138 on the drive. Abby was texting me on Michelle phone, eager to get her new phone up and running.
So glad Microsoft made an OSX version of this: Windows Phone Connector. Thought I was going to need a Windows PC.
Spent much of the evening setting up Abby's phone. It needed at least 3 OS updates. And they don't happen over the air. You must be connected to a computer with Microsoft's Windows Phone Connector software. At least an hour of downloading and updating. But now she's rockin' the latest Microsoft WinPhone7 Mango.
