I’m finding it a bit frustrating that I can’t find a site online where I can point to today’s weather. You’d think NOAA or someone would have an archive so I could look at what the weather was like in Minneapolis a year ago next Monday. Anyway, after the nice warm weather of last weekend, all the added moisture in the air from the melting snow has meant foggy mornings so far this week. Today it’s just clouds, and I have no hope that the fog is going to burn off.
Gray mornings make it tougher for me to get going in the morning. There’s no real sunrise, but rather just a gradual lightening, and it seems to add at least an hour to the time it takes me to really feel awake in the morning. Couple that with a day where the forecast is for rain, and all the talk about the imminent shooting in Iraq, and even though I feel as though I should have a productive day today, it’s feeling like a good day to curl up under a blanket with a book.
- Jason Kottke has some thoughts about The war. Well, there it is then. [holy schmoly]
- Speaking of war, Baseball won’t open in Japan.
Bud Selig canceled season-opening games scheduled for March 25 and 26 between the Seattle Mariners and Oakland A’s at the Tokyo Dome.
The games will be held in the U.S. instead. [strib] - Wireless numbers to be added to 411 sometime in the next year or so. Well, crap. There goes one of the reasons to have a cellphone.
About 5 percent of U.S. households have gone totally wireless and eliminated traditional landlines…
probably to get an unlisted number that’s not going to be called by some telemarketer just about the time you’re puttin’ the moves on that double-pepperoni pizza the delivery guy just brought. Of course it’ll cost extra to have an unlisted cell-phone number, and it probably won’t really be unlisted either. Feh. - The Danger Hiptop SDK is finally available. It’s not a perfect plan, but as Andy Rubin from Danger explains, they’re doing what they can. [boing boing]
- One other bit of news I should mention. Last night at my neighborhood association meeting, it was decided we should weigh in on the proposal that’s been floating around to change the name of Marcy Open School to Wellstone Open School. As far as I could tell, the proposal had a few very vocal advocates, but no broad-based support, and the meeting confirmed that. A motion was presented saying to basically leave the name as is, and it passed with no dissent.
