A slow day, but a few things are going on.

Managed to start the new year the same way I start just about every day - a trip to Starbucks. 

Watched the Winter Classic - outdoor hockey game between the Chicago Blackhawks and the Detroit Redwings.  It was GREAT!   Just the difference in sound alone between an outdoor rink and an indoor arena was amazing.  I loved it. 

Currently the Rose Bowl is on in the other room and I'll be checking in shortly to see what's up. 

Got a new printer installed today, hopefully it will work - although most printers hate me.  It has a scanner, so I may be able to scan some old pics - first I have to find them - the box got moved with us, I just don't remember where I put it. 

My new toy - arriving next week - is an Asus EEE PC.  One of the little travel netbooks.  It has linux and a solid state hard drive.  This should be fun!  Not to mention way way easier to cart around through airports when I do travel. 

Okay - I'll admit that the geekiness factor of getting a Linux laptop is seriously up there.  Even if it's a "user friendly" Linux version.  I was amused to see that most of the comments (favorable) to this machine were by geeks who bought it and then installed the version of Linux they wanted on it.  Nevertheless, I think I may be able to make do with the existing installation.

Now I need to hunt down a snack.  It's too early for dinner and all this thinking makes me hungry.
