Asymptomatic

Very neat idea, very poorly realized. Redesign a country’s laws from the ground up.

Colorize black and white photos with this very simple application. Wow. Via perlworld.

Who would have thought that I would be able to survive? After this morning, I didn’t think I would.

I got up at 6, as usual, to shower and get dressed, with plans not only to take Abby to school, but to take Riley over to Nana’s. One of the reasons for this was the inpending snow storm that had been plaguing the news over the previous day. But things were already going strangely even before I hit the snooze the second time.

Get a bunch of cool Google maps, including where you would come out if you dug straight through the Earth.

Berta is on a work trip in Ireland until Friday, so I have the kids to myself all week. But before I get into that, let me mention the travel issues today.

We packed up the kids to take their mom to the airport for her trip. Why her work doesn’t supply her transportation for this, I’m not sure. Probably they’d pay for mileage and parking, and by the time she was done filling out all the forms to get her expenses back it wouldn’t be worth the hassle.

Also an annoyance is that Septa doesn’t run trains to Downingtown on Sunday. What’s that about? They’ll run to Malvern, but not two more stops out? That stinks.

Anyway, we went on out to the airport. There was snow/ice on the ground from last night, so we left a tad early, but the roads weren’t too bad. We stopped at Arby’s for lunch, since the kids would be screaming for food if we waited until I got them home to feed them. That set us back a little bit, which didn’t help for what events were then to pass.
