Quote of the day:

YD: (whining) I don't have a phone number for Best Buy!

Me: Look it up! I know the phonebook is made of paper, but it still works.

Got a little actual work done, and was delighted to note that they wiped out the 4% pay cut that we had to take last year.

My lunchtime walk took me South on the Guadalupe River trail, past US101. A coworker told me that, in the other direction, the gravel only extends for a mile or so northward; after that it's paved and pleasant. I am probably going to buy a bike over the weekend.

Several good links, including Enlisting the Aid of Your Inner Customer, the latest in haikujaguar's "The Three Micahs" series.

Didn't finish the article above, but have set it aside for later reading. I have had to teach artists of music and craft about letting their customers where to find more, and how! Many artists have this failing, although some of them understand having a web presence, and getting someone skilled to do it for them.
