View From the Bushes

The second Thursday of the month is always a pain for me. See, that's the day when we have our monthly IT staff meeting. Directly after that (and held every Thursday) is the Security meeting. Add in the daily meeting I have at 8:10, and you quickly arrive at a situation where I barely have time to clean the spam out of my inbox before 11:30. For awhile Thursday was my day to donate platelets, so as you can imagine on those Thursdays I didn't get anything done. I guess the upshot of all this is that I don't have a lot of time to post. I suppose that's good news for all my readers.

I did read an interesting article about XBOX Live, over on Slate. I can definitely say it convinced me to keep my kids away from it for awhile. Course, at the moment my kids are still limping along on an original Nintendo. At the current rate of upgrades they should be getting an XBOX about the time they leave for college. Though I think if I play up the "I could play games with them" angle of the console, my wife might conceivably relent earlier than that.
