This is way cool: The Future of Computer Interfaces? I set my alarm for 10:00 today, but woke up, and got up, at 9:00. After a hard-boiled egg and a banana, along with some some coffee for breakfast, I spent a couple of hours finishing the update to my ENG 675 defense presentation. I’m much … Read more
I got up at 10:00 today, after waking up on and off since 8:30. I devised yesterday’s blog entry, and then updated my podcasts with a subscription sync, erased the ones I’ve already listened to and then resynced to my iPod for my walk. I walked for an hour around my neighborhood, two times around … Read more

I love it when technology actually makes life easier. I’ve been complaining lately about the slow disappearance of spray gel that is taking place, and yesterday Robert asked, “Have you checked the Herbal Essence web site to see if they are still making it?” I did just that, and lo and behold, not only did … Read more
I, reluctantly and under duress, shopped at Wal-mart today, where it was once again obvious that the making of the liquid spray gel is approaching its demise. I ended up buying this: Root lifter? What in the hell is that? I also bought TurboTax and some 8-gallon trash bags. My next stop was at CostCutters … Read more
I worked all day today on my ENG 675 project document—partly at home and partly at my IBM office. I left RTP at 7:00 and met Robert at the Wendy’s at Western & Gorman, where we had dinner. I had the Chicken Caesar Salad, which I’d never had before, and found to be pretty tasty—and … Read more
