Short Updates
Good morning! I dropped the girls off and head down to Boxborough. Offered a Glorious Mysteries and then listened to The Brothers Karamazov the rest of the way. Chilly (32-35°F) but so sunny I had a lot of issues with sun glare in the windshield.
I forgot to mention that Michelle had a nice time last night at her cancer support group meeting. She got to see some friends she hadn't seen in a while and picked up a pink "Save the TaTas" t-shirt. They were also glad to see her bouncing back.

Decided to make a Pandora station based on the music I typically hear at Step classes. I used Dynamix CDs for ideas. Michelle has a bunch of 'em for teaching her classes.
Qualcomm's Adreno 205 in the latest SnapDragons "holds its own against PowerVR" from Imagination Technologies. Woot! Ironically we wanted to build the Adreno 205 four years ago but opted to scale it back first with the entry level Adreno 200.
Holy cow! In fall 2002 I bought a bunch o' ARMH for ~$2/share when the price collapsed due to a weak quarter. Within a year it bounced back to $6 but I just held it. I hadn't checked it for a while but in the past two years it climbed to around $18/share. It's the kind of thing I wish happened more often.
Went straight from work to RCIA where we talked about the creeds. Stopped by Subway on the way home. All I have left is a 9 o'clock conference call with San Diego and I can get some sleep...
Done for tonight. Good night all!
