Furniture Did you know that the best way to buy furniture is to take a vacation to central North Carolina (High Point or Hickory being the top spots) and ship it all back to wherever you live? Amazing! While sitting there watching the second half of the game, I got an education sectional sofas. Even if you want to see the sofas made by a company here in Southern California, John Charles Designs, you have to go to High Point. And if you want plain custom stuff built to last longer than you do, Comfy 1 looks pretty promising. 9:53:06 PM

Football I checked friend Josh Lucas's blog today, nothing yet about the Bears. He's probably not yet ready to talk about it. Today it's the Packers turn. If they win, it will be close, if they lose it could be really bad. Either way it's been a fun year to watch the green and gold. 8:27:13 AM

Machine intelligence? I post a note about kernel panic's and I get one. I am tempting fate here. 8:26:49 AM

Dark day Yesterday was a dark and melancholy day. I was moody nearly all day. My grandfather's second wife's funeral is today, she died on Tuesday at 97. I never knew her all that well but I blamed some of the problems my grandfather and I had on her. I grew up without a father and it seemed, without a grandfather. He tried to connect with me when I was in college, but by then, it was too late. So yesterday I was dealing with guilt again and I wasn't too happy with myself. I also spent a bit of time working on a project for work that is just dragging on and on, in part because of bad planning. That didn't help. The front page of yesterdays LA Times was also pretty depressing. People running from lava in the Congo, the US helping the immature democracy of Bosnia by taking the six prisoners they released and making them disappear and another article about the outrageous behavior of Enron's Kenneth Lay. Oh yeah, two kernel panics, back to back to start the morning. Yesterday is over, it's time to move on. 7:35:27 AM
