Ready for the Weekend
Good morning! Michelle went to Mass this morning. I dropped Abby off at Band Camp. Tomorrow is her last day. I listened to another episode of Security Now, my favorite technical podcast, along the commute in this morning.
Since there was no coffee brewed this morning, I was on the hunt during my drive. I pulled into the Brookline Village Store, but they were closed. I stopped by the Dunkin in Groton but their line was out the door. Finally I stopped at the Dunkin in Littleton and they weren't much better. In hindsight it was too much work for something served at work anyway.
Yay! Ting will now allow Sprint customers to migrate their phones to their service!. That's been a holdup for us. We were interested in moving to them, but buying all new phones… Ugh!
Ah, remember The Good Old Days™ when 5000 was the max Twitter followers? Obama has millions of fake Twitter followers. Roughly 70% are fake.
Wow! Anderson Cooper calls DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz out on her recent email press release. (related video) Anderson Cooper?!? Is it getting chilly out?
Some days you can squash bugs. Days like today they evaded me. It was a long afternoon and I never got to the root cause. I left around 6 o'clock. I tried out AM1060 on the drive home, but it got noisy beyond Littleton. And AM radio is so prone to picking up noise from nearby power lines. Listened to the rest via Sirius/XM over 3G.
Claire didn't rap up work until 10pm.
Three stories about the high end chip/GPU I worked on for the past few years finally coming to a phone. Qualcomm lets slip it’ll be powering LG’s next flagship. LG and Qualcomm Working Together To Produce Quad-Core Smartphone. Qualcomm Confirms Quad-Core Snapdragon S4 will be in LG Optimus G.
