Same ol', same ol'

I finished my 2008 calendars last night; woohoo! What a crazy weekend. I had a last minute request to make some changes to the corporate website that wasn't tested thoroughly before pushing live. I got stuck making some quick fixes remotely Friday night and Saturday morning which took some time. Then we had to do some shopping and prep for Thanksgiving as we are hosting again this year. Jackie came in around 5 from Tech and wanted me to make her favorite dinner, pork chops, baked mac and cheese and steamed veggies. I also found some time to download and play with miro. It's pretty cool. Sunday between working on Chesapeake Boats, working on the new calendar, making baklava for the department holiday party, making dinner, etc.., Maria calls from the store telling me that Jackie fainted. She wanted to know if she should call and ambulance and go to the hospital. After some discussion I found out that Jackie was okay and recommended she just bring her home. When they got home I checked for the usual symptoms of a concussion and found none. She was probably just mildy dehydrated so we pushed fluids. She was fine; thanks goodness.

This is obscene!

I came across this article on Digg just a few minutes ago and wanted to share it with anyone who may read this. Soldier wounded in Iraq is told to leave his Army home within 30 days.

Normally I would say "I can't believe this" but in our current situation with an administration breaking the law on a daily basis I am afraid I CAN believe this. This is no way to treat a veteran and someone who was willing to give his life for his country. It's absolutely reprehensible.

Back to work!

I just downloaded "Flock", a new "social" browser. It is pretty damn cool. For anyone not familiar with this check it out at www.flock.com. It uses tabbed browsing like Firefox, IE7 and Safari but what is really cool is that it works well on a Mac or a PC. So far it looks like it works better than Firefox on the Mac. Uh oh, this could be bad news for Firefox.
