We are in the "looking" phase of buying a house. It is quite an interesting and tiring process to visit other people's homes and figure out for each how you can make it become your own. Thank goodness there are so many options in our price range! If we can swing it, we'll move before the wedding.
...until you have brilliantly played the ending of a song you have played on a weekly basis for two years only to find out you were five measures early. And then I played it again (yay for recovery!) :-)
Fourth of July was fun. Second parade went much better - must have been the beer.
I thought this was extremely well written, and I totally agree.

Vonage and Verizon presented their oral arguments on June 25th. Now, a decision can take up to 90 days.

Got some Melrose pictures up from Memorial Day / Elks / Legion weekends. Check it out:

I finally found software to create web albums that doesn't make it a big production and actually produces something simple and functional!! JAlbum rocks!

Okay, so I haven't posted in a while. But I did spend two really great weekends in Wildwood. The first was for the Elks parade and the second was for Legions (we won 2nd place - woo hoo!). And the folks who came in first were ringers from Ct (Park City Pride - I enjoy watching them), so I feel pretty good about it - they only beat us by 8 points. I have some pictures but some of them aren't ...ehrm, nice, so we'll see what I end up posting here.
It's Memorial Day, folks! If you have not been to a parade or ceremony this weekend, YOU'RE WRONG!
Helmut and me hanging out on a great day!
I received this email from XM today...
XM Service Update As many of you know, XM customers have experienced service outages or significantly degraded service since Monday mid-morning, May 21. We quickly identified the problem and are working hard to return to our normal levels of service. The problem occurred during the loading of software to a critical component of our satellite broadcast system, which resulted in a loss of signal from one of our satellites. We expect normal service to resume midday today (eastern daylight time). XM apologizes for any inconvenience this has caused. For updates, please go to http://www.xmradio.com. In the meantime, you can enjoy many of our music channels on XM Radio Online (http://xmro.xmradio.com) if you are close to a computer. Again, we regret any inconvenience for not having your XM Radio service fully available.
This is pretty funny

I sort of figured this would happen, but you know we had to try it. It is good news that we will be allowed to bring up the Supreme Court's ruling as part of our appeal.

Tech companies have decried large patent infringement awards in recent years,
saying a court system that has allowed patent holders to get injunctions on
projects with a small piece of infringing technology has hurt innovation. In May
2006, in a infringement case against eBay Inc., the U.S. Supreme Court
overturned the long-held practice of issuing injunctions against infringing
products in nearly all patent cases.
