    Less than 8 hours to go before CERN's conference, primary subject is of course the latest findings on the Higgs Boson. CAN'T WAIT. I'm such a nerd I'm actually getting up at 3am to watch this live.

    Got some ceramic baseboard installed and hooked up one of the ducts that got knocked down in my remodel job. Time for a little relaxation now.

    It didn't rain last night, so we got to see the Macy's fireworks display (from a balcony on Staten Island.)

    Wonderful day. Not counting the crappy VMWare class, I got a surprise promotion today when my actual Sergeant came into class and handed me my new epaulette (He was in the city doing a course of his own this month). So for you Americans I'm now basically a Lance Cpl. Will be hitting full Corporal next year around this time as well just because it's a time-in-army promotion. *does a happy dance*

    Thanks! Its so old you have to use a lowercase L for the number 1.

    I've always been fond of bonsai, but they intimidate me.

    Wow, I remember having to use the "l" for a 1.

    Justin, congrats on the promotion.
