I’m back

Yes, back in the office. Vacation was great, I was able to visit a lot of neat places, learn a lot of history and take in some Deep South culture in just a week’s time or so. It was very nice to spend a week away from the news, away from most technology, outside of my laptop and digital cameras, away from work, just living and doing things I enjoy, being out in the world, exploring! Most importantly, I was reminded of how important it is to be doing these things while we can when I returned home to news that one of the guys I lived with in a big house near the OSU campus circa 1987-88, died last week of diabetes complications. It just goes to show that life’s too short to not take the time to enjoy more of it.

Pics will be forthcoming, hopefully within the next few days. In the meantime, as a way of trying to get caught up, consider this a list of things in my aggregator that I want to look at when I have more time..:)

The Witty Worm, a new chapter in malware.

    I’ll be over here most of today, leafing through the latest Microsoft updates, 7 total, 2 critical.

    I met up with my wife for lunch today. The food was provided free by the East Tennessee State Alumni Association. She’s an alum. The team is staying two blocks from my work, which is where they had their pregame pep rally type event this morning. They are in town to take on Cincinnati in…

    Just a few things I’ve noticed while catching up with my blogrolls: Brad is trying to get enough money to buy a Mac, and he’s auctioning off some stuff to do it. I liked what Scoble and Doc had to say about the MacWorld news, not because I’m anti-Mac, but because they did a far…
