More thoughts on architecture (the physical kind). If you live in New York, the AIA Guide to New York Architecture is a fascinating book, and you can learn all sorts of interesting things about some of the buildings you walk by each day. For instance, I discovered that the building I work in was built by I.M. Pei and is the "classiest building on Water Street".

Went yesterday to see The Magnetic Fields in a free concert. It went for an hour before it was rained out (bummer).

Work is progressing nicely. Unfortunately, I can't really say what I'm doing, but I'm doing it better now... ;)

I do agree with whoever it was about ACM Membership. The ACM Digital Library is a great tool, and it's a great organization for professional or academic developers to belong to. Helps you keep up with what's going on out there.
