Thursday – 06 January 2011
It’s Thursday.  Amen. That means that it’s an NBN day… and it’s the last day of my work week, which means that it’s “NBN Technical Friday.” If only there was less inversion-induced haze…

Last night was D&D 4.0 night with and company. There was far less death among our party than in Tuesday night’s game. But, that doesn’t necessarily mean that we didn’t have a good fight on our hands. We did. But we persevered.

After the game, SaraRules! and I knocked out another episode of NCIS. The DVR queue is growing shorter!

• GWU honors Gray’s athletic legacy from time of segregated sports
• IRS tax liens jump by 60%, but how effective are they?

• Training and Trust: Partners on the Flying Trapeze
  When I was 12 and 13, my summer camp had a 28′ flying trapeze. (This fact is made even more interesting when you consider the fact that I went to a computer camp.)  Campers were able to choose non-computer-related activities to complement their more geeky ones; I chose flying trap.  I didn’t do any of the catches – and regret that a little – but I still had a lot of fun on and learning about the trapeze.

• Thanks to an ad that I didn’t need to see, I just realized that I could easily add an elevated subway to the city side of my layout…  *sigh*
• Starbucks drops its name from logo

Back to it.

Namaste.
