So I did decide to stay home from work yesterday. Went back to bed after the morning update and woke around noon. Headed out to do a few “daytime” errands that have been piling up for a while, and got them done, and then back home for more laying about. By the time the day was done, my head-congestion had transformed itself into an ear infection. Ugh. Now I need to decide whether I’m going to take some time off this morning to head to the doctor, or just go to work and hope I can work through the day with some invisible friend driving an icepick into my head-holes.

In today’s pictures, I continue with detail pictures of the horses. Each horse on the outside row of the carousel has different adornments, many in the form of a badge or something on the horse’s butt. Here are two such. The kitty is facing backwards, looking over one horse’s tail. The dog is just a badge on the side of another horse’s hip, but I couldn’t very well have a cat without a dog, could I?
And that’s about all I have energy for today. Sure there are some links, but the commentary on them might be a bit off. I know I’m sick, and it’s quite possible I’m feverish and making no sense at all, but things mostly seem reasonable to me. But then maybe I’m feverish… I think the fact that I’m unsure gives me a clue as to whether I should go to work or not. Programming when I’m not particularly sharp has led to some very frustrating debugging sessions in the past. Usually best in the long run to just not write anything new when I’m feeling like this.
- Heard on the news last night that State Senator Linda Berglin has introduced a bill that would blanket Minneapolis with “security” cameras like those that are already downtown protecting block E. Yeah, what the heck, they’re already working so well, let’s just spread them city-wide.
- When I heard about GM selling off GMAC, I thought something was weird about the deal. Apparently there’s More Trouble Than I Thought at GM, and Warren does the math to explain what it is:
This means that their entire manufacturing business is valued in the market at roughtly -$16 Billion.
[coyote blog] - Bummer. Mars rover’s broken wheel is beyond repair, and now they’re trying to figure a way to get Spirit to a north-facing slope for the Martian winter without having to drive through any soft soils that might hang up the rover. [kottke]
- In a move to make baseball look good, Greenies Get Red Light in MLB. No more speed for the players. Heck, the drugs have only been illegal for thirty years. Baseball’s moving pretty quickly, isn’t it? [press-patch]
- Here’s another blog to look at: Two Cities Two Wheels is about practical cycling in the Twin Cities. It’s a bit slow now, but if I don’t link to it, I’ll forget about it.
