We took a minibreak to Charleston, South Carolina last weekend. Kat made the hotel reservations with my explicitly stated requirements, which, unfortunately, did not include "centrally located". As such, we took what the Wentworth Mansion called a "suite", which is two big rooms divided by pocket doors, one bathroom, and, umm, that's it.

This article is inadvertantly hilarious.

To summarise, Schwarzenegger's Education Secretary made a silly comment to a little girl when she asked him if he knew what her name, Isis, meant.

I read an article about autoboxing surprises in Java 1.5/5/V/quinquies/five-o a week or two ago (that link is a repeat that came up when I googled), and noticed a few links back to the conversation in lambda or whatever.

It looks as if we've recently crossed the point at which the new technology (DVD) has supplanted the old technology (VCR) such that the focus of manufacturing (and subsequent economies of scale) has finally shifted to the new technology. You'll be familiar with this process if you have shopped for a record player (er, turntable) in the past fifteen years or so, having seen the prices increase as the prices for CD players decreased.

Came back today from a weekend spent with Kat's aunt and uncle. Was pleasant, ate too much, didn't work out, and therefore didn't gain ground on excising the Minnesota 25.
