    some tomatoes, at Whole Paycheck.  Made yummy salad with Thousand Island
    dressing; sort of a Louie/caprese, which sounds like a Mafia boss.
  * drive

Colleen requested cooked baby shrimp and fresh mozzarella for dinner, for a salad. I found wild-caught, fresh shrimp from the Pacific Northwest at Whole Paycheck, and also picked up a cluster of tomatoes. The resulting salad had no lettuce; it was more like a Louie/caprese blend, which really sounds like a good name for a Mafia boss or something.

We went out for a nice drive after dinner.

Things are still unsettled at work. Most people seem to want me to stay until FCS, but I'm not sure I'm being all that useful. On the other hand, my current view of my job is more like mentor, troubleshooter, and toolmaker. None of that is terribly visible. Even to me.

On the gripping hand, some of my coworkers...

I amused myself in between meetings and firefights by converting several projects in my home directory from CVS to git. Then did the same when I got home.

I found my Baycon schedule in the mail, so I posted it. I'M NOT READY! You mean I'm supposed to have a set list? Oh.

A decent collection of links up there; I'm not sure whether to highlight the failed end-of-the-world predictions, Amazon’s ebook sales surpassing print, or the fact that the Zombie Apocalypse crashed the CDC. All of the above?

Hah. Zombie Apocalypse was a trending "hot topic" on twitter yesterday too. So fun.

I don't believe I have a BayCon membership this year. I'm finding that rather freeing actually.

Saw that -- fun indeed.

I was hoping to day-trip Baycon, but Colleen didn't want to have to come home. :( We *will* be day-tripping Westercon.
