GoDaddy was bought! By KKR et al. Not totally comfortable with this, but IIWII. Raise your hand if you're still using Google+. I'm not, but then again I never have. It looks like my careful effort to avoid using it or even learning much about it has paid off. Google have announced a new structured programming language called Dart. Apparently it is a better JavaScript. Who ordered that? I plan to treat it much like Google+ and hope for the best.
Of course today's Heathkit is the Arduino. Maybe I should learn how to make stuff from them? Here's a cool comic book introduction to the Arduino. For the list... One of the truest things I've ever posted: the inverted pyramid for video. "I find most YouTube -type video is organized like a mini movie. No good. Grab me immediately on startup, or I'm gone." Still just as true today.
Answering the important questions: Do big cats like to chase laser pointers? (Spoiler: yes)

So ... I'm back, as in back to work, as in last weekend I attended the College of American Pathologist's annual conference, flew back, and spent a couple of days back in my office in Vista. It was pretty weird, but exciting too; I'm ready for some new challenges. Fortunately the company didn't miss a beat in my absence; I could feel bad ("they don't need me anymore") but actually I feel good ("I'm free to throw myself into some new projects"). More than anything it was nice to see all my friends at work, I had a nice reception. I've also kept riding this week - final approach, just three weeks 'till the 508! - and now it's back to blogging as well...
Love using the Kindle app on my iPhone, because it links straight into Wikipedia. I have almost entirely stopped using my Kindles, only use them outside in sunlight.
