A New Day!
Let’s start the day off with a PayPal donation link:
This Morning
Exciting morning so far. I woke at 4am (my goal) but my wife complained that I cannot do that anymore. I am getting closer to training myself to get up but I haven’t quite made it yet. Without sleeping in a different room I am not sure how to pull this off if I cannot set the alarm.
Woke at 6:30 and got out of bed closer to 7am to find the dog had urinated but not defacated so I raced her outside and I believe we are succeeding in teaching her where she needs to go.
I turned my attention to waking the household by bathing both dogs. Yelp!
Then I raced off to a Business Network International marketing meeting. Good group of people.
Returned home in time to help send Cathy, Sarah and the dog to Tommy’s school. Gave Noah some quality time on Battleship which is helping Amy be less jealous. She played nicely near us without trying to disrupt the game.
She has asked for a nap but now begs to get out of the crib.
Non-productive Productivity
Spent the day basically upgrading my development environment. Felt good. Is really going to enhance my ability to get work done. But didn’t really lend to helping resolve the issue of paying bills in the short term.

Student: Do you like me?
Professor: No, but I am not the person that needs to like you am I?
Finish the Game
Wahoo! I shall finish the game! Document that I’d procrastinated on completed and faxed to client. Should have never delayed that long but now its done!

Student: How much can one man take?
Master: As much as he can handle, of course!
Out of the mainstream hate fests
The Daily Show sums up the democratic ticket Well worth the watch! You may want to warn your coworkers that loud chortling will emanate from your desk momentarily.

Today’s Geek Link
Now your plants sing to you
Called the “Flower Speaker Amplifiers”, the gadget made by Let’s Corp is hidden in a vase or a potted plant and sends music at just the right frequency to vibrate up the stems and then be converted into audible sound by the plant as a whole.

Student: Sometimes I feel like everytime I patch a leak in the dam, 3 new leaks form.
Teacher: Maybe it is time to build a new dam.
Of Grasshoppers
Student: Master, obligation gets in the way of desire.
Master: Is it the obligation or the desire that is misplaced?
