What happened today
Another good day, which I will describe in bullet points:

- Waking up at 9:32am
- Realizing I forgot to digitally sign the last release of X-NetStat, and answering a dozen customer emails when their copy disabled because of "tampering"..oops!
- Grabbing a breakfast burrito at the Good Morning Cafe on Water Street
- Waving to Jimbo
- Coding up a new version of X-NetStat with more features than I intended .. cool!
- Emailing customers to tell them I've implemented their special request (pricesless!)
- Jogging with Scott till it felt like I was gonna puke... 3-4 miles!!
- Losing my filling for the 2nd time (yesterday)
- Appreciating a light rain, but..
- Panicing as my brakes lock up on the way to the dentist
- Realizing I don't have car insurance as I rear end some poor girl
- Thanking supernatural forces that gave her car an indestructable bumper made of Adamantine
- Feeling immense relief that she was actually quite cool with the whole thing!
- Getting giving a free replacement from my dentist
- Grabbing soggy mail from my old house
- Listening to some phat Rob Reng while answering more email
- Getting an apology from a UK firm that was caught selling unauthorized copies of software to the British government, then letting them off the hook (somebody has to restore confidence in American demeanor)
- Talking to Gerardo in Mexico and getting inspired
- Finding a WICKED fast string library that supports Unicode
- Cranking out a working Spanish edition of X-NetStat and hopefully pioneering a new market for some 410 million people!
- Watching the Daily Show and at Jon Stewart, who is in fire tonight
