Saturday morning sitting on the porch, drinking coffee, listening to music and prowling the web: perfect ! Not only that but the sky is getting dark and there is a breeze. My favorite weather; not too hot not too cold and a storm is coming. Yes, an excellent start to the day. I shall have to see if Sweetous wants to go about lurking and prowling anywhere..

I went walking this morning but I’m in a lazy mood right now so I skipped the lunch walk today. I’m gonna try to sneak outta here early so I can get to Wal-Mart and grab some groceries. Things are slow at work today; finished a couple projects this morning and the spreadsheet from hell did not manifest itself. I’m not complaining.
The Other Side of 40: What I learned about Boomers vs Gen X’ers - Nancy notes that Boomers are generally better conversationalists than Gen X’s or Y’s and attributes that to the ubiquitous text message or IM. I’m not sure if the Boomers really are better conversationalists or not but I have noticed and read about people today being simultaneously more connected and more isolated than ever before as a result of our digital lifetyle. As is true of most things, technology has both good and bad effects on individuals and society as a whole.

Today was moderately busy at work. I expect tomorrow will be a pain in the ass. I got lots of exercise today: walked in the morning and at lunch time, cut the grass when I got home. I downloaded and installed Tetris and Asteroids on my tiny computer. I tried to install Second Life on a USB stick and run it on the tiny computer but was not successful with that. This afternoon I added several links to my page of Wikipedia links.

Today is another slow day, but I know that won’t last long. I’m back from my lunch time walk; also walked this morning. I need to get back on track with my diet / exercise after this past weekend. I had been getting a little slack anyway. Time to stern it up ! Sweetous called me earlier and told me she had already got the dogs out of the kennel. That’s good; one less chore for me. I will probably sit out on the porch this evening as it is a really nice day; perhaps we will get a storm later.
This weekend I bought an 8 gigabyte flash drive for my tiny computer. I installed Open Office on it while I was at Mike & Pig’s place. I shall have to see what other software I can put on that: portable software - Google Search.
