I’m back in Manchester / Ann Arbor till the 29th for a family wedding (congrats to Jenn & Matt!), working in my favorite of workplaces, the Grad’s reference room. Ann Arbor is predictably quiet in the summer, especially this being the week after Art Fair; it seems that there’s no one in town except the orienteers.
Mandy, Jack and I are staying in Manchester, but if anyone who’s still in the area wants to get together, leave a comment…
Amazon is running a great sale on the KitchenAid Professional 600 Series 6-Quart Stand Mixers for today only. It appears only certain colors are included in the sale: Nickel Pearl, Empire Red, Licorice & Meringue; choose carefully.
Update: The sale is over, but there’s often a substantial price break on certain colors. Check with Amazon to see the various options. The little preview you get when hovering on links here lists the price as $499, but that’s just retail. It’s usually much less.
We love our now-discontinued KitchenAid mixer (the old Williams-Sonoma model just above the current Artisan), but sometimes a bit more power and a bit bigger bowl would be nice…
A new project from Joss Whedon (Buffy / Firefly / etc ). Highly, highly recommended. Catch it while you can; the videos are going dark at midnight, Sunday the 20th. After that, they’ll be available for download for a fee (iTunes?) and eventually there will be a DVD.
On Wednesday, Mandy & I celebrated our third wedding anniversary with a baby-sitter and a night out at Max London’s. The food was wonderful as always, as was the company. It’s been a crazy, wonderful three years and wouldn’t trade a minute of it for anything.
Security people are often the black-and-white kind of people that I can’t stand. I think the OpenBSD crowd is a bunch of masturbating monkeys, in that they make such a big deal about concentrating on security to the point where they pretty much admit that nothing else matters to them.
I don’t really know the current OpenBSD folks well enough to agree or disagree, but it sure is funny.
