Like a dolt, I left my camera on the plane while passing through Atlanta. On the other hand, I managed to successfully carry the bag of Cheerios all the way to Seattle! This has turned into a fiasco - I’ve contacted Delta lost and found and they claim that something which roughly matches the description of my camera is in the lost and found in Atlanta. They also have sent the lost and found a note with my phone number as well as providing me with the number for lost and found.

I’ve wanted to write about Jerry, some successes at work, my trip to Moscow, my ideas for turning the MG into an electric car, and our recent trip to Norfolk… but I haven’t had any time! Instead of content, here’s a cool slideshow:

This is the 3rd book in the Ender Shadow series, which centers around Bean. I still struggle to bond with Bean, the genetically manipulated child genius - and I was not at all moved by the romance that occurred between him and Petra. I have one book left in this series to finish. Card’s books are light and easily readable but I haven’t enjoyed them enough to want to read them again.

Jerry Youkoh Kirsch, born May 2nd, 2006 at 14:50, is officially 1 year old. Happy Birthday, Jerry!

I previously stated that Jerry could walk - but now there is proof! This is getting exciting!

I’ve “decided” that I simply cannot read The Economist from cover-to-cover. While I’m interested in doing so, I cannot keep up with the volume of material and haven’t been willing to dedicate the time. I still enjoy the magazine and will continue to skim as well as keep them for later reference. I continue to find myself spending a too much time working; even though I’ve worked hard to keep my physical presence at work down to 40-50 hours a week, I find myself thinking about work, using my crackberry, emailing from my home PC or firing up my corporate laptop.
