A new season for the MSO

The Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra just unveiled their 2008-2009 Season. A good synopsis is here. For those new to classical music, I recommend the Classical Connections concerts.

Texas dust storm –> Dirty Wisconsin Rain

Listening to Wisconsin’s Morning News on WTMJ this morning revealed an interesting tidbit about the weather. Meteorologist Craig Koplien was talking about the dirt on cars from Friday’s rain/fog. I have a black car, so it was quite noticeable. Craig’s blog post has some interesting information as does the CIMSS Satellite Blog. Happy car wash!

Save Windows XP???

I have been running Windows Vista for a year now. (Wow, I’ve been at Concurrency for a year.) I’ll admit that almost all of the consulting revenue I generate is from Microsoft products. That being said, I am not a complete Microsoft shill. I use Google as a search engine, and my blog is on WordPress. If I hated Windows Vista, I’d tell you. But I don’t.

I knew support for Vista was moderate at best, but I never imagined a save Windows XP petition. Steve Jobs has got to love this.
