  * awake 5:30; snuggle; up 6:30; W=197.8; drugs, nose, teeth, coffee
  @ Microsoft sex 2.0 (from chaoswolf) NSFK
  % OX trackpad still jumpy.  Probably need to reseat cable. :(
  * Water day
  @ jilara: Sigh, another year, another lack of work
  =* drink holders for Promusica -- large, for concert music stands
  ~  check to see what size will work best; they need at least 1 large, but
     should the second be large or small? -> I'm guessing large.
  @ XO Disassembly: bottom - OLPC
  @ After Three Months, Only 35 Subscriptions for Newsday's Web Site
  @ Google Voice Does End Run Around Apple, Launches New Web App

  @ In the Next Industrial Revolution, Atoms Are the New Bits
  @ Atoms Are Not Bits; Wired Is Not A Business Magazine
    Not yet, anyway.  With nanotech, maybe.
  * Walk: 6x(!) around pond.  Go me!
  * (Colleen) Velveteen Rabbit for G's birthday.  500 Hats for Joseph.
  * YD has her photos
  * buy: Feb. bus pass for YD
  * re-seating the touchpad cable didn't work.
    Ah.  There are *two* touchpad cables!  that made it worse...
    Third time is either the charm or the curse.  
    (a little better but still pretty bad)
  * Pay bills  Through 2/4 or so

  . remember to pack:
    * music stands, drink holders (stuff with underwear)
    ...
  * bed ~midnight; S=10649

Quite a lot done, and a good step count thanks to an extra spin around the pond (six total). I like using coins as lap counters; that's a keeper.

Very busy with last-minute shopping, packing, and bill-paying. Plus several failed attempts to repair the trackpad on the XO. It's better, after having its cables re-seated a couple of times, but still not particularly usable. At least, I'm no longer intimidated by the task of disassembling an XO. Too many screws, but it's easy.

Plenty of good links under the cut.
