It's been a very busy week and I haven't spent any time in front of my computer. It's time to catch up.

This is the coolest. Realtime earthquake reports Has there been one near you?

Didn't get everything on my list done, but I also did a few extra things. Most notably, put up the grills on most of the windows and moved all the book boxes in from tha garage. There is always next weekend.

Back home after two weeks of travelling. So, what should I do? Relax? No, that would be no fun. It's time for chores!! My list looks something like this:

• run 10 miles
• mow lawn
• bills
• setup book shelves in new office
• setup bed in new guest room
• install new networking setup in garage
• buy 8ft table for new office
• move desk and cabinet into guest room (only cabinet, desk next weekend)
• fill and test hot tub (it's been off for maybe too long)
• work on web site (my volunteer work)

I'm posting this early in the day. I'll update it throughout the day and we'll see how many I get done.

I'm back home from the Star Party. Just think of 1000 people camped in the desert with hundreds of telescopes, seminars on the universe and lots of dust. We saw planets (Mars prominent), nebulas, clusters, globules and galaxies.

I'm posting this from home but I could have posted a message from the desert. One vendor had a truck full of computers and a satellite link. We had wireless internet in the middle of the desert!! It's everywhere.
