Way way too much time on his hands: driver crosses the US in a GPS-tracked route that then spells out "READ AYN RAND." http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/ideas/brainiac/2010/08/ayn_rand_big_bo.html
(Christine asks if the driver did any sort of networking or anything while wasting all that gas.)

I think Apexart is very cool, They now have publications http://www.apexart.org/publications.htm (What we would like is a bound book of the exhibition brochures, but that's not offered.)

The temperature is supposed to leap up by 35 degrees today, a high 13 degrees warmer than yesterday. Entertainingly, the temperature was still falling as of 7 am -- but started back up at 8 am, so should shut up the house at some point.

I am supposed to blog about "home" today. The house is a bit of a wreck. We have the new bookshelves mostly done, but the anchoring needs to happen. So nothing much is on the shelves yet. There are a few more shelves to add; the incorrect doors need to be returned. The CD review project, which involves unpacking the CDs from shipping boxes and moving them to the nice storage boxes (culling disks Christine no longer wants), is mid progress: the assembly line for new CD boxes and review disks overwhelms the dining area.

The Roomba seems to have very little battery life. I resent that, although the fix is obvious. [Runs off to Amazon to buy new batteries and new brushes and ponder the TCO.] We bought a new wall on eBay, i'll be testing that and finally setting up the scheduled run some time soon. I've not used the scheduled run because of the need to manually block spaces; if it runs on a schedule it will that really will help with the track-in from the deck.
