At the Car Wash
Took the car for a much needed wash today. It was a nice day -- cloudy, cool, nice breeze. The car goes into one end of the tunnel and by the time it comes out, clean as a whistle, the rain has started.
Story of my life!

One Link
I'm going through my logs to see what sort of traffic I've been getting and noticed that I had been linked to from the comments section of a MacNN news story.
One single link has, so far, generated 84 hits from 84 distinct IP addresses. Only three took the time to go looking at the rest of the site. Just an interesting statistic, I thought I would share.

Regis Sings
So, I'm minding my own business, watching a nice little show on the television, when I am slapped across the face with an ad for something called "When You're Smiling".
Apparently, Regis Philbin, not content with his shtick in the morning or with harassing us with "Is that your final answer?", he's taken to crooning out 12 classics.
You know the best part of this $18.95 (+$4.95 s/h) offer is? The free gift, of course: "FREE Collectible Regis Philbin Photo (4" X 6") With Paid Order!"

Tunak Tunak Tan!
No, really. "Tunak Tunak Tan!" is possibly the best song ever written. What, you don't understand Punjabi? Here's a fine translation.
This made my day, it did.

Life
My uncle, who was suffering from pancreatic cancer, passed away quickly and rather unexpectedly last night.
All signs had shown an improvement and a good response to the treatment. Over the weekend things started to deteriorate, and he passed away last night. Apparently he had a blood infection and could not fight it off.
He was a very kind man, and his family just wonderful people. I wish them the best in his absence. He will be missed.
