CNN.com: Man survives six nails driven into head -- "A construction worker had six nails driven into his head in an accident with a high-powered nail gun, but doctors said Wednesday they expect him to make a full recovery."

Gotta love the Overture ads below the picture of the guy's xray showing the nails embedded in the poor guy's skull....

news.com: Apple patented by Microsoft

I think it was just a mistake... perhaps someone at the patent office was making a funny. Then again, a lot of the patents they give out lately are a joke.

Victoria Times Colonist: Brace for manic Monday

Just my luck. I wanted to go to the public library today to get some Math books, and of course April 25th was their last Sunday open until Fall hours begin again in October. And, to top it off, tomorrow the library will be shut down due to the labour protests.

Hopefully they will be open again on Tuesday, but I'm not holding my breath. I wonder if UVic's library would be open? I further wonder if they would even have any math information as basic as what I need right now... ;-)

I can start with my old Math 100 text from 1993, but I'd be (pleasantly) surprised if I understood a single word of it!
