You should go somewhere warm in the winter for about 2-3 weeks.

Haha, I would like to think it is time not working on work projects. Something I almost never have time for. I don't need a totally relaxing vacation, just time doing something other than work. The problem is I can never stop thinking about work projects even when I am not working on them. Maybe I just need to take up drinking.

Ooh...you are lucky. It's use it or lose where I work. If you go into the New Year with more than the maximum amount than you accrue per year, than you lose everything over the maximum amount. You actually get pressured to use your vacation time.
I had to schedule a bunch of vacation days over the holidays in order to not lose it. What a shame ... lol. It's nice having to use vacation days.

iphone 4 privacy bug?Category: apple
This seems like quite a major flaw in the security of the iphone 4/3GS
Bad news: if you own an iPhone 4, be careful -- bypassing your lock screen is simply a matter of hitting "emergency call," dialling "###," presssing the call button, then immediately pressing the lock button. Voilá -- one cracked iPhone. After the break, there's a video of some Spanish Portuguese-speaking guy showing you how to carry out the exploit.

Estate Sale in Oakland PlaceThere was this little red diary. Sadly it was only 2 pages or I would have bought it. I love other people's diaries.
There were some nice yearbook photos with stories on them. The grey cardboard portrait books folded open and one the left side was a letter to the person they gave the card to and on the right was the portrait. Kind of like a greeting card with a picture of yourself that you could give out to your friends.
I offered the saleswoman $10 for 10 of them. She told me, "Those people went to Dartmouth. The pictures are worth at least $10 each." I said, "ok forget it then," while thinking, "does she really believe everything Dartmouth related is worth something?" As I was leaving she tried $40 for all 10. I left.
I should have just taken pictures of the letters looking back on it. She thought I wanted them to resell but I just wanted the stories and would have probably thrown them out post digitalization.

There is someone in Dartmouth though (incidentally with the initials CSW) whose research completely fascinates. I literally wait with bated breath for each new publication from his group. :::link:::

Hahahah... those two made me laugh.
I bet the dartmouth-obsessed woman didn't get even $1 for each in the end. Just because there are no other spotting-and-loving-the-ridiculous-pauls around. ;-)

LOL @(e:matthew)'s comment. I see things are going to be tough this evening.
Well know that I said it it wouldn't work, but what if you walked up and tried to pick him up at a club as a surprise.........
That's what you get when you have a bf who'll only vacation alone.
I know it's complicated with allergies & stuff, but you just showed us all that you have a ridic amount of vacay stored up.... just sayin'... ;-)
