What can I say, it was some game last night! I was pulling for the Mets, but they just couldn’t do it, although they made a mostly valiant effort there at the end. (I say “mostly” because I can’t understand why Beltran took that last pitch.) My condolences go out to Mom, Dad and Doug.…
It has been a long day. It’s after 7 PM and I’m just getting home. I was able to be pretty productive until about 11 AM. From that point, and for the rest of the day I was in meetings. I didn’t really even get a lunch today. I ate while I worked, in a…
A British research site has made publically available the complete works of Charles Darwin. More than 50,000 searchable pages. It includes his books, as well as pocket journals, notes, and other writings.: http://darwin-online.org.uk/ The site was busy the first time I tried to connect so you may need to be patient.

I just got a notice from United that my flight from Pittsburgh that was scheduled to leave at 7:30 PM this evening is now scheduled to leave at 9 PM. Weather delays. Oh, well, it means that Jim and I can have a leisurely dinner at the airport. (It also means that I won’t get…
I have apparently used this subject line before. It is raining pretty hard here in Pittsburgh. This is slightly difficult because the hotel is about 1/3 mile from the office. The question is: how am I going to get there? I didn’t bring any rain clothes, nor did I bring an umbrella. I guess my…
Today is my 12 year anniversary at my company. That’s right, twelve years ago today was my very first day, and I can remember parts of it as though it were yesterday, which is kind of scary. In those 12 years, I have had exactly 3 offices, which is probably some kind of record since…
