Planet.seattlewireless.net

Check out planet.seattlewireless.net. This is a aggregation of all SWN blogs, and a great way to see what everybody is up to.

For some reason, I am stuck with this stereotypical blogger/mac user icon for all my blog entries on this site. Perhaps someday i'll figure out how to set this @#$@# icon. Okay, looks like i figured this one out.

In unrelated news, I went down to Phoenix for the weekend. It was great to get away from the insane amount of rain pounding the northwest. The papers in Phoenix were reporting inverse records -- 110+ days of no rain. There was simply too much sun -- oh darn. Highs were in the mid 60's.

I rented a convertible and discovered it was just a little too cold to drive on the freeway with the top down this time of year. But I did it anyway -- why rent a convertible if you are going to drive with the top up all the time?

My daughter did not like the roofless vehicle, but just put up with it. I made a point not to show her that it had a retractable roof that folded up in the back.

Eventually, she figured out that it, indeed, had a roof--or in her words--a "house". After she saw that, I was nagged nonstop to tell the car to "make a house". Instead, we bought a large winter coat on clearance for $10 and bundled her up. She liked that.
