The Mandelbear's Musings

So... pretty good, though no walks. (I did some walking in Fry's and parking lots yesterday, but that hardly counts.) Got started on the taxes, which is good. Quiet days, mostly at home. I could get used to that altogether too quickly.

The kitchen was a disaster area when I got home late Wednesday; between the YD running a load of dishes (it's not one of her usual chores) and me washing pots, it is now more-or-less usable again.

I think what I need to do is to reconfigure the kitchen and office into something like their final (post-move) form. Anything that doesn't fit goes into storage.

A lot of stuff is going to have to wait until the taxes are done. I let that slip, as usual. Growf.

Quite a few links. The Google Art Project is way cool! Pictures from dozens of art museums online and browsable, though it has a few navigational glitches. This is a common problem with stuff based on Javascript -- it doesn't have to work the way the user expects.

I want a Pebble E-Paper Watch. Want, want, want. So, apparently, do thousands of other people. And Code Not Physical Property, Court Rules in Goldman Sachs Espionage Case. That can cut both ways -- clearly companies need to be able to protect their trade secrets, but equating wrongful copying of information with theft of a physical object isn't the way to do it. Somebody tell the media industries.
