  & headed for bed ~11pm

So... Hmm. The high point of the day was a phone conversation with Naomi, which started from a whimsical text message. I like whimsy, and my sister-of-choice has been very good at re-introducing me to that side of myself.

Baycon starts a week from tomorrow. I'M NOT READY!

I still don't know when I'll be back in R&D. Hopefully that can get pinned down this week.

Quite a bit of version-control puttering, at work (project-management makefiles) and at home (looking at CVS repos in $HOME). I meant to transition from CVS to git years ago, but never did; now I have a weird mix of CVS, git, and uncontrolled working directories. Not at all ready for prime time. At least the ones that I actually sync with my netbook are all consistently in git.

Lots of links again; probably the best is Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse from (of all places) CDC.gov. Though I must say the yarn-bombers are right up there. Did I mention that I like whimsy?

In the same vein, did you know International Yarn Bombing Day is coming up on June 11? http://yarnbombing.com/

Saturday we went to the library. We entered the elevator at the same time as a lady with a bag of knitting so, being an avid fiber person myself, I asked her what she was making. She hemmed and hawed for a moment before telling me that she was yarnbombing and please don't tell anyone. I never did see the installation. I could have followed her, perhaps, but the librarians are probably glad I followed my energetic kids instead :)

Olek (quoted in the NYT article about yarn bombing) is wrong. Everyone's work deserves to be in public. If hers can hold its own, great. But it should have to.

I'm with you on that. If she doesn't like being classed with the other yarnbombing graffiti artists, she needs to find another venue.
