A friend sent this to me. Since I'm leaving in a little over a month, it had some good information.

I have been to Napa and Sonoma, but not here. I have had their wines and they are great. I'll have to work on getting out there.

I had been using this solution (Bausch & Lomb Renu with MoistureLoc). My sister called me a couple of weeks about this. I quick using it after she told me. I went to the eye doctor early this week. They gave we a trial bottle of Opti-Free Replinsh that has the same type of moisture solution. It looks like the company has acknowledge that there is a problem and is pulling it off the shelves.

I have been using X10 for a couple of years for my home automation. I haven't tried any Insteon yet. This is an interesting discussion thread about the two technologies. I may need to try some Insteon since my control software (Homeseer) already has the control module.

Apple's 60-gig iPod 'at risk'

Company may phase out 60-gig Video iPod, which retails for $399, in favor of a new model, analyst says.
This showed up on CNN today (not for the first time). I have a 60G iPod I bought at Christmas (for the capacity) for all of my music. Wouldn't it be fitting if they discontinue it. I probably wouldn't upgrade since I do limited video on it (except if they would offer a trade-in program!).

FW: Important Numbers?


Just in case you wanted to know:

On Wednesday, at two minutes and three seconds after 1:00 in the morning, the time and date will be 01:02:03 04/05/06.


That won't ever happen again (in our lifetime).

You may now return to your (normal ?) life.
