For the record...
I'm drinking coffee again in the mornings. I stopped there for a bit. It was the second hiatus from the java juice I'd taken. But much necessary break indeed.

Thing is, I love coffee.

The snow is clearing in the hills and my son is getting old enough that hopefully, we'll be able to get back to my beloved Sierra (the mountains not a girl!). Nothing like the first cup of camp coffee made at 5,000ft.

Is it just me or does it always seem to taste better?

 

More holes than...wait...already used that one....

Man! Maybe they should start HIRING back all the tech people that have been cut recently. Seems everyone has holes in their programs that could really use some brain power.

 

Note to self...
SEARCHING FOR HOT SPOTS?. 80211hotspots.com allows you to select a city, state or country and find a hot spot for your wireless networking requirements.... [Rodent Regatta]

I'll have to check this out later. Sounds interesting. Of course, you could just wardrive.

 

To Ooops or not to Oooops? (Shakespeare reference)...
New Windows leaks onto the Web. A test copy of the next version of the Microsoft operating system, code-named Longhorn, offers an unexpected peek at new storage technology and other features. [CNET News.com]

I'm sure it was by no accident it was leaked. How better to draw media attention and peak the interest of the industry than to offer little glimpses at the overall "prize". Same philosophy as bathing suits. Tease them to get them interested.

 

Everyone else is doing it, why shouldn't we?...
Europe targets the Moon. Europe's first mission to the Moon looks set for a July blast-off - but much will depend on the flight readiness of the spacecraft's launch rocket. [BBC News | Front Page | UK Edition]

Maybe it's time we take a trip back to the moon. With all our cool new toys and gadgets you think it would be a breeze. Maybe this time we can stay a bit longer. I'm sure it would have "other" economical, scientific, moral building benefits too.

Sugar's got a new look.  I like it!
...and Sugar said:  "I'm not a pastel kind of girl.  I don't even wear pastels.  So...I dumped the washed out morning glory background and came up with something a little, uhh, a little more Me.  You keeping up Joe??  ::wink::"[jenett.radio]

I like it. It's a very warm and friendly feel.

 


Goodbye old friend...
Our sympathies to Joe. It's amazing how they become part of your family isn't it? 

More holes than Swiss cheese...
