Morning

It's a lovely spring morning. It was cool enough to leave my window cracked open over night. How I love to wake up in the morning to hear the perpetual sigh of the town and the polite chill of the morning.

It's enough to cheer me up, despite the fact that I technically prefer sleeping in.

I had an odd dream, that featured a wind-up alarm clock that was hooked to some computer device. Now, for the life of me, I've lost the "practical application" that myself and someone else were having over this "ground-breaking" invention. Then, of course, my real alarm goes off.

My first thought of that invention upon turning off my alarm, "Good lord, that was frickin' stupid."

Dream fairy: I want better product ideas, next time. Not electronic devices hooked up to a wind-up alarm clock!

Real Time with Bill Maher

You know, I am just recently becoming aware of some big flap involving Ward Churchill and various folks wanting him fired from his job at the University of Colorado.

Bill Maher had him on the show, along with a family member of the victim of 9/11. It appears to be driven from the right. It's really an issue of freedom of expression, it appears. Though some contend that Churchill is a liar and an evil man, based on the google search I did.

That said, Churchill certainly doesn't film well. I have not really known much about his work in the past, but he isn't even able to succinctly convey his own arguments on camera. I think Bill was about to smack him.

I don't think I disagree with the idea that the attack on the WTC was senseless, though. I think there was sense that drove the attack. Just not a sense that we care about, as Americans.

Zee Bullet Points of Anne

-I upgraded my router to a 802.11g (from a b). Since my airport card is g, that's a bit faster.
-I tried upgrading my usb adaptor for my tivo, but for some reason, the tivo isn't acknowledging it. Even though they say it's supported on Tivo's Website. Feh. More troubleshooting required.
-Some people, I tell ya.
-Our new contracter arrived today. He's not single. He's got a 3 year old daughter. No fun, there.
-Tonight I'll be hitting the gym. Tomorrow begins four days straight of working OT.
-I need to do some clothes shopping.
-Baby artichokes...mmmm.
