• Due to scheduled service, the house will be without power for almost 8 hours today. As a geek, that is non trivial. UPSes will be beeping. #

• What a day: Farmer #
• What a day: Prayer meeting, farmer's market, got digital camera, lunch, mother-in-law's, Fry's, now watching The A-Team with the family. #
• My sympathies for anyone with this cold, the lingering cough is annoying. #
• In case I haven't said it, @netflix streaming on the PS3 is just too cool. I can't wait for it to be built into the FW (it's a disc now). #
• Yay! @omnifocusiphone 1.6 has added Perspectives! Finally! #

• #10yearsago I was 'surfing' at 56Kbps. In a week I'll be seeing if I can stretch the limits of 20Mbps (20480Kbps). #
• Had the whole day planned around picking up a camera at Nelson Photo. They're closed for the NY weekend. Ugh. Ritz Camera is next. #
• Ritz has dropped Canon (we're leaning towards the T1i). Looks like we'll find a local camera shop. #
