Checking age lowered

CP: Hockey officials applaud lowering checking age

As I said before, I think this is a big mistake. I think it's inevitable that the another minor league will appear in the next 5 years, fracturing support for the CHA.

Beautiful afghan

Cheryl received a beautiful surprise in the mail a couple days ago.... a gorgeous afghan for Xavier made by Corinne Dillingham!

Thank you Corinne!

Home at last!

I got home last night on schedule. I can't remember ever wanting anything more than to get home and be with my family, and being so happy to finally get here.

I'm probably going to be quite busy for the next week, so if updates are sporadic here, that's why.

Going home tomorrow

I'm 99% packed, just have to thrown my towel and pillows into the double-walled dish-box I bought (a carry-on wasn't going to be big enough) from PublicStorage in the morning.

Tomorrow I'll try to put to words some of the emotions I'm feeling.

Brent Simmons' first look at Conversant 1.0b2.

I can't wait to see what he thinks once he lifts the hood.

Intuem for Mac OS X – MIDI the easy way

Check out Intuem, a very cool looking MIDI (that's music for those who don't know what MIDI is) application aimed "specifically for non-professionals and students who demand extraordinary ease-of-use and professional sounding results."

Almost completely packed

I set aside enough clothes to wear to work Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. The rest of my clothes are all packed in my big suitcase. I have a matching smaller suitcase, but it won't fit all the stuff I need to bring home.

I think what I'm going to do is buy one of those nice carry-on bags... the kind you see the "professional travellers" with, that exactly fit the maximum size the FAA allows for carry-on baggage. A little pull out handle and wheels so I can pull it around instead of carry it. That'll be nice, because in the future, when I need to go on short trips, I can pack my clothes and anything else I need in that and completely avoid checking in luggage, saving a huge amount of time on both ends of the flight.
