Went home for the weekend and the usual shenanigans with my brother ensued. Today’s hangover wasn’t terrible, Jenn claims I wasn’t overly obnoxious last night, and I woke up without any tattoos, so all is well.

Other recent developments:

  • Senior management has decreed that my position at Warner Brothers should be filled by a full-time employee rather than a contractor, and while I was tempted to take their offer I decided I like the free-wheeling life too much. As a result I’ll probably be embarking on a second retirement some time in July or August.
  • I was up until 3:30 Friday night and spent another six or seven hours converting the server that runs this site from Windows 2000 to Linux. When I have time I’ll post my notes about this ordeal.
  • I’ll be going to the Galapagos Islands in thirty-one days. After three years of trying to organize this trip my excitement level about it actually happening is reaching nearly unbearable levels.
  • Jason pointed out a web log from Baghdad.
  • And on a lighter note, Dave Barry pointed out an example of what a great tool the internet is for helping to simplify confusing subjects.
