May the Fourth

Posted by Scott at 11:59 PM

May 4th May the Fourth be with you. [and the new Catholic response: 'And with your spirit.'] 5:37am

Via maddoghall: “Remember the days when TV News people had to develop the film, so while they reported the news at 6 P.M. it was ‘Pictures at 11?’ ” 8:28am

Via maboa: "What if remaining Internet Explorer 6 market share is composed completely of web designers still testing for IE 6 ... ?" :) 8:30am

Good mornin'! I dropped the girls off at their schools and then dropped my car off for it's 110K service and tire/wheel seasonal swap. I'll be working from home today. 8:54am

It's been a busy morning with a bit of weight lifting. I brought my alloy rims with their all season tires out of winter storage. I shuffled ~800 lbs of wood pellets in the garage to make room for the 3 tons that will be delivered in about an hour. 8:56am

The Heritage Foundation makes their own response to Life of Julia. 9:29am

Too many memories of senior year high school and freshman year at Rose Hulman: That's How I Roll. 9:31am

With all of the May the 4th Be with You jokes, it's also the Feast of St. Peregrine, patron saint of those fighting cancer. 10:04am

Took delivery of next winter's wood pellets. Helped the delivery guy get things positioned in the garage and then I restacked our 800 pounds of leftovers on top of it. 10:51am

Had a conference call late this morning with the new head, former AMD graphics CTO Eric Demers. Afterwards took Michelle to the new Cafe on the Oval. They've been working on their new location for the past several months and the results look good. The place was full of townies enjoying lunch. 1:41pm

After lunch we picked up my car. Nice to see the snow tires mounted on cheap, steel "birth control rims" put away for the season and have the all seasons tires on alloy rims back. 1:42pm

FedEx just dropped off our new Juicer. Michelle is like a kid, pouring over the guide book now with eager eyes. 2:01pm

Rep. Ryan: We have pursued solidarity, but abused subsidiarity. 100% agreement here. 2:35pm

Siblings Claire and Michelle made a juice from carrots, apples, pears, and lemon. It was pretty good. I'm sure they'll refine their blends with practice. 4:30pm

Got done with my last conference call for the week. Wroteup my weekly status and submitted my hours. Glad to be wrapping up so I can relax with the family for a spell... 6:13pm

Worked on one more photo album, stealing photos from dad's and Alyssa's cameras. 9:00pm

“Jesus said to his disciples:
"Do not let your hearts be troubled.
You have faith in God; have faith also in me.”
John 14
