At SXSW, which seems like such a distant memory now, I had a wonderful rainy-day barbeque lunch with
Barbara,

First day at SXSW was a pretty mixed bag. Up way too early in the morning, second flight was really rough. But the hotel room was ready when we arrived and the box of
Not an Employee swag that UPS was telling us would be delayed until Monday was already at the hotel. Woot! Didn't manage to nab any free food or drink (EPIC FAIL), but Keith and I had a nice lunch at Habana.
The
How to Bankrupt Your Startup panel was a great kick-off for the week - like the old adage about any movie with a monkey in it has to be good, I'm quite sure that any panel with a unicorn on it will rawk, ...

The boys have just arrived after spending the weekend at Norm's. They're here all this week -
all day, every day - because it's spring break. AAPS didn't used to have this week off, they just did an Easter break, but somewhere along the line, the School Board decided that in a college town where the U has this week off, the schools need to be off, too. I'll note that the U doesn't have a long Easter break, but the AAPS didn't cancel theirs, so that kind of shoots the 'we need to match their schedule' argument, no? So now the kids get two weeks off school, spaced about 3 weeks apart. Can you feel my enthusiasm?

As of yesterday, I've been married to Keith for 4 years. We celebrated last night with big martinis at the bar at Cafe Felix (him Picasso, me Martini Felix) and then over to Miki for sushi. We told the cute little server that it was our anniversary and told her the amount we wanted to spend and just had the chefs make up something for us. It was wonderful - she brought out this
huge boat (it really was shaped like a boat!) full of sashimi and an auxiliary tray of nigiri. It was out of this ...

I went in to the Apple Store this afternoon to take advantage of my new One-to-One training membership for the first time. I had been collecting questions on a sticky note all week.
It went okay - I stumped the poor guy a number of times. Turns out he was 'just' a Creative, not a Genius. I got a bunch of good tips and information, though.
We had fun with two iMacs in one room both responding to any remote. In Tiger, you can turn off remote control - all or nothing - but in Leopard (at least there in the store, anyway) it appears that you can pair a device with a particular remote. Woo!
The help in Leopard looks pretty cool. ...

A little Friday pin-up action for ya. Gotta love
The Fratellis. Great summer music. As far as I can tell, all the best music comes from Scotland.
Spinner.com, which is run by AOL of all things, is one of my many my guilty pleasures. They have free .mp3s everyday - not too shabby!
Edit: Ok, screw Spinner, can't resize their player. Try this one.
