   Fourteen hours without power, but everything's back in order now. Time to drink coffee & shovel some more. #dcsnowpocalypse

   Once more Skype is better than the phone. Once more, I realize how much voice-only communication bothers me.

   Whoever decided weather should be mutable was an idiot.

   Listening to goth metal samples (Amazon), I can't find much I like. The female vocalists can be really good, but the males make it a mess.

    I got my Christmas cards into the post before Christmas, that counts for something, right?

      @ndw Ha! We played it smart and gave up holiday cards after the postal Anthrax scare. No need to worry about cards any more!

    Spent about a day and a half shovelling snow this weekend so the cars can get out, and not going anywhere. Relieved. #dcsnowpocalypse

    Been listening to a Laura Izibor CD my wife gave me; really nice! Should to listen to more R&B if I can find the right vocalists. #music

    Another tech author involved in open source expresses positive views on CC content: http://tr.im/HBLI This is the shape of progress!

    Finally added a second TV; the kids get to hook up the Wii again after nearly a year without. Bet they won't break another TV anytime soon.

    Spent just a little time playing with Google Wave, and still not sure it's useful. It's not integrated with email, which still matters.
