So in addition to being Veteran’s Day, today, November 11, 2011, happens to be the last “Binary Day” I am ever likely to live through. There have been 36 so-called “Binary Days” in the last 11 years (9 each in 2000, 2001, 2010 and 2011), where all the days of the date (except the century) …

Today *Sara* …

I’m going to preface what I’m going to say below with the statement that I am not putting this post up as an invitation to cheat on pottermore.

Google I/O was fantastic, and not just because I got a free HTC Evo from Google and Sprint for going. Lots of great things, some of which I’m looking forward to implementing in my work.

So tonight was fun.. Amazing how things can bring back both such fond and such painful memories at the same time. I went to a play tonight, “25th Annual Putnum County Spelling Bee” and they were looking for volunteer spellers and I was chosen. Fond memories of being on stage again, little bit of improv …
