Took a nice 25 mile ride this morning. Made it home just as the rain was starting to fall. Glad that I didn't decide to press for the 40 miler I'd originally planned. Then made salsa verde with Lily, a portion of which will in turn be made into sauce and combined with the chicken currently marinating in the fridge to finally make into Shelly-compliant corn-wrapped chicken enchiladas in a couple hours. This afternoon I rekindled my DIY spirit and changed the cabin and engine air filters in the wife's Highlander. [edit]Shelly, I sincerely hope things can only get better from here. I've been through patches like that, not fun. CJ, best of luck.

Congrat Jeff, I hope it's a good move.

This and this. And I'm with Al and Steve, we need some details.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

I'm not much interested in a Auction format but Dynasty doesn't really matter to me.

If you're just getting into machining in general I'd watch all of MIT's Machine Shop Videos which are available free online. http://techtv.mit.edu/videos/142-machine-shop-1

Rest in Peace, Sally. I still regard the entire space program with a feeling of awe and am genuinely saddened by its current state.

I decided longer was better.

I've been at work since 6:30 this morning. It's currently 79 degrees in my office. I'm leaving shortly but taking more work home with me that has to get done before 8am tomorrow morning. Frack.

Metric - Synthetica I <3 this album.

Regina Spektor - What We Saw From The Cheap Seats

Crucial M4 256GB for sale at Amazon (and others) for $179.99. Seems like a well reviewed, reasonably fast SSD for a good price. If I hadn't broken the bike a couple weeks ago I'd be picking one up. Use the HC Amazon link if you're think you might buy one.

Blackmill - Reach for Glory

Double Eff, shelly.

Ack, Shelly, that's no good. Chris, glad to hear you're finally feeling better. Me - nothing of note today. All work and no booze make Nate something something.

Paid, sorry for the delay.

This.

Not worth reporting from here at the office which is as near to a black-out zone as can be found around here. 1700 up/down is about the best I've seen which is a lot better than just 3G service speeds here.

Will do. Initial impressions are pretty stellar. The screen is excellent and the overall feel of the phone is very good. It's light in the hand, fits in a pocket well (better than the droid X despite being larger, due to thinness) and battery life has not been an issue today even though it has had to cycle through 4G/3G several times and even down to whatever verizon's edge network equivalent is and I just got done using it for a half-hour conference call. The 4G speeds are ridiculous, even though at best I get 2/5 bars here at the office. Anyway, I'll give it a few weeks and see how the wow-factor holds up and report back.

Bummer Jacob. Me, set up the S III which is a ridiculous phone in the best of ways.

He is such a jackass.

Beautiful shot. I hope you don't mind that I cropped it and used it for my phone background.

(best Cartman voice) SWEEEEEET!!!

Excellent news, Mike.
