Upcoming Events

I enjoy bjournalling, and I'd like to discipline myself back into regular updates. They say a habit becomes ingrained after 30 days of repetition, so, starting today, I'm plannning an update a day for the next 30 days. If they are right, they days after that will take care of themselves.

I'm looking forward to getting out of town for a few days. Barbara and I are headed to Milwaukee for a long weekend. In preparation, I purchased a GPS Navigation System, and dropped the car off for an oil change. (Unfortunately, that means I didn't cycle to work this morning.)

The Nav System was something we'd debated about since getting one with the rental car while we were in Oregon and Washington. We loved having one, but when we got home, we decided we really don't travel by care enough for it to be worth the cost. I broke down because I found a really good deal, and GPS is so freaking cool. I'm still in the phase where you go around with it, programming in destinations that you already know how to get to because it's so freaking cool.

I've been asked, why TomTom instead of Garmin? The answer TomTom runs Linux and uses open source software. I wanted to give my money to the company operating on the side of openness.

Planning Commission tomorrow, preceded by a briefing on the proposed lighting standards.

Oh, and this is freakishly awesome.
