This was the scene at the local Food Lion last night. Some people.....

I ask you. When was the last time we had enough snow in the DC Metro area, to force anyone to stay in the house for multiple days? I don't understand the need to buy multiple loaves of bread, and multiple gallons of milk, as if you will be in an underground bunker for a week :)

Here are some pics I took about halfway to work. Called the boss, and he said go home, so here I am :)

Chris -

My condolences to you and yours for your loss. Grandparents rock. I lost my Grandmother last year, and I've missed her every day since. I'd give just about anything to have one more late night playing board games, just me and her.

Anyhow, my thoughts are with ya :)

Arrived last night, courtesy of the Hiptop Nation Prize Wagon, also known widely as the US Postal Service.

Took some breaking in, but it's almost perfect now. I love the magnetic closure. All of the ports are accessible, including the all-important accessory port.

I had the most points on my team (by like one point I think). The top people for each team apparently got prizes. Did anyone take the t-shirt? Or did we all opt for the case?

Looks like so far, people have either the case with the tan stripes or the orange trim. Were there any other colors out there?

Team Ichabod: I wish we could have all gotten something, but we'll get them next time :)

Jwong - I caught that late last night. Good flick. Other than the group of late-teenagers that sat behind us and talked through the whole thing. Why pay 8 bucks for a movie you're not going to watch?

I wish I had caught a showing during the day. At leat the kids would have been quiet.

I just have this old iMac here at work, but I'm in love with this thing. Going to buy myself a powerbook sometime in the near future. Also pictured: my other machines at work.

On my way home from Best Buy. Picked up Episode II on DVD. Can't wait to check out all the extras. And of course the yoda fight sequence again, and all the lovely Padme shots again :)

Pardon my dorkiness...

I plan on working some up, just haven't yet :)

Today is Veterans Day. Everyone should make it a point to thank a Vet for their service while they are out and about.


Maybe even post their picture here :)

Neat site. A quiz that tells you how many planets we would need to sustain life, if everyone lived just like you do.

Rather preachy, but I found it interesting.

Scored 4.4 planets.

Not SK friendly though, sorry :(
