Gene and Helen
Went to Gene and Helen’s housewarming party on Saturday. Nice house.
Favorite comment (from someone who clearly wasn’t aware that they’re vegetarians): “Who catered this thing? Baboons?”
Also got to see Jaimie and Sue’s house. Also nice. Cute kid too.

Britney Spears

I wonder if I can convince anyone to go with me? (Maybe if I don’t tell them about the Britney connection…)
Good music
Somerset County Recycling
…I just realized I haven’t tied up the newspapers and put them out for recycle since March. Oops.
Einstein’s Intelligence Quiz
It took me about an hour to solve this. I’m not sure why I bothered; puzzles like this usually don’t interest me. I guess it was the “98% of the people in the world cannot solve the quiz” line that motivated me. That can’t possibly be right, can it? It wasn’t that hard!
Tour of Somerville
Jonas Carney won the Tour of Somerville last weekend. Here’s the write up from the Star-Ledger, which will probably only be valid for another week or so. The funny thing about this article is that they interview a guy named Mark Garney, who I used to work with. He comes out for the race every year, but I’ve never managed to run into him. Maybe next year!
Memorial Day
It’s time for another Somerville Memorial Day bike race, which is always fun. Unfortunately, my Dad is in the hospital again, though, so that makes everything a little less fun. Still, it’s shaping up to be a nice day.
Toshiba e310
The Toshiba e310 showed up at work yesterday, while I was off watching Star Wars in NYC. I just got finished setting things up. First problem: electricity! I’m definitely pushing it at this point, with about 12 devices all plugged in to the same wall socket. Well, a lot of them aren’t really on very often, so I’m probably OK. Second problem: Getting the darn thing to play nice with my PC. You’d think this wouldn’t be a problem, what with Microsoft being responsible for both sides of the connection. It appears somewhat stable at this point. I’ll have to keep my fingers crossed. Now, off to find some oddball freeware…
