I love the smell of software in the morning.

I love Canadians: Gov. Gen. eats slaughtered seal’s raw heart to show support for seal hunt (NSFV)… http://bit.ly/1a6Ecd

Mac Knife and Cutting Board, originally uploaded by timbu.

I have been using two tiny plastic cutting boards for more than 9 years. They were nicked and unpleasant to say the least. When I saw the kids making something toxic on one, I knew they had to go. Instantly I knew I needed something natural to replace the plastic. Luckily, I was following the saga of Paul Meyer from work who was bootstrapping his dad with a side business making and selling cutting boards.

It is much more satisfying to cut up veggies with my favorite knife and a wood cutting board. The only problem was the board was so pretty I hated to make the first cut. Turns out it doesn’t really show any wear.

Thanks Paul!

I love sitting in a warm cabin when the cold rain is coming down outside – too bad I am going home today.

The Caryatids by Bruce Sterling

My review

rating: 4 of 5 stars
I like this look at an apocalyptic future. The end of the nation state, China excepted, created two mass movements one concerned with commerce and one much more green in nature. While the universe portrayed was cool, the book itself felt more like a collection of short stories, with an unsatisfying ending. It’s what I’ve come to expect lately, but it isn’t entirely satisfying.

love to tack an extra day on to a long weekend – always feels like I am playing hookey.

If you are like me, you had to look at Paddington Bear in London for yourself.
