Woot!

Today’s Woot! won’t last. It’s a Microsoft Wireless Optical Elite Keyboard and Mouse.

It’s not your Grandpa’s wireless. Because that was a radio.

I’d grab one up if I wasn’t budgeted for other things like..uh..mmm..a child!

Unbelievable! It’s such a sad day when a keyboard has such requirements!

Hard Disk: 60 MB of available hard-disk space

I recall desperately wanting to buy a 20MB harddrive in the early 80s and commenting that “I’d never be able to fill it up!”

Beautiful Night!

It’s one of those crisp, clear nights that makes you want to bundle up a little, sit on the porch and just listen to the wonderful "silence."

I’m being productive this morning and pounding away at code; code which somehow I’ve fallen absurdly behind on and am quite disappointed in myself for doing so.

I wish I had the stamina to get up at this time every morning and work. I could knock out most of my client obligations whilst everyone sleeps then use the day primarily for family needs. Perhaps I could take a 4 hour nap in the evening and grab a nap during the day to keep my body rested.
