Some poor guy lost his ipod down the airline toilet. (It was attached to his belt.) This resulted in the airplane being grounded for a possible terrorist device, the guy whose ipod it was intensely questioned as a possible terrorist.
BTW - they don't let you take water on the airline but you can take ipods? I'll bet exploding ipods are easier to make than exploding water bottles.
Not sure if this is a repeat or not, but the white stripes on Charlie Rose. yep - repeat from 10/05

Well let me point that (a) you won't be living like you're single; and (b) you won't be getting sleep like you're single after Mac arrives.
Still excited for you, though.
JZ's news from her doctor visit today is that the baby is no longer transverse, but head-down. Which will probably change again before birth, but this her first attempt at a head stand and we applaud her cleverness.
Then again, she just headbutted Mom in the hip bone from the inside.
So far, no, no mention of additional compensation. But we'll see what happens Tuesday when I get back to work. I had a phone conversation with the girlfriend and she's pretty flabbergasted about the whole thing too. I'm hoping the "official" announcement won't seem as absolutely ridiculous as what I know so far, but we'll see.
I have a SourceForge project.
How geeky is that?
Okay, it's a tiny applet, but hey, I don't have time to make something big and it does something I wanted for my computer.

Eh, possibly more than probably. Lillian was head down by 31 weeks and stayed there until 38 weeks, 3 days, when she exited the joint. If you're lucky, she'll have decided to settle in that way for the next 6-8 weeks. (Assuming they're still down with the whole labor plan for you guys, that is.)

Good news, cool.
Cool, Gud! Also cool in a totally different way, Halloweenie!
Gud, I suggest now is the opportune time to tell your wife that if she wasn't home schooling the kids then y'all would have enough time to start a home business.
That is definitely something to think about as the business idea looms closer.
So far, no, no mention of additional compensation.
I think there are subtle threats that can be employed on that front. For one thing, you're obviously a valuable commodity (inasmuch as they're kicking somebody else out because she wasn't expert-y enough). If they want to keep you, they gotta play nice. And if they (this evil big boss) don't give a shit about keeping you, well, don't stay kept.
I am personally of the opinion that the tone of an org is set at the top; and top-people who don't know that or don't care lose their best people and keep wondering why.
