Destroyer of worlds
Yesterday, someone on a technical mailing list that I subscribe to sent a link to a news story about “Scratch.” I hadn’t heard of it before, so I had a look at it last night. I downloaded the Mac client, and William and I spent a few minutes playing with it. It requires too much reading for William to really use it fully, but he was having a good time as we made a scuba diver swim circles around a spinning baby.
In other news, the cleanup crew took all the carpet out of our basement, and cut the bottom couple of feet off of the walls (yes Trent, we use feet – there’s really no good metric equivalent for the foot – decimeters doesn’t really roll off the tongue.) There’s a concrete specialist coming in Friday to take core samples of the pad in the basement as well as the driveway. We’ve been given a dollar value for the carpet replacement, but at this point the full scope of everything still hasn’t been determined.

Ducks all the way baby….better goalie, both Neidermayer’s, Selanne in his first Stanley Cup in 15 years, and Pronger pi$$ed after losing last year…I think it might go all 7 though (actually, I hope it does, that’d actually be an entertaining finish to playoffs I have been very disinterested in)

Sens in 6…. I have a feeling there will be a log jam of people in first place at 11-4 this season.

Ottawa for me (will let you know my dad’s pick once I get a hold of him).
