First of all, I have to wish my buddy Adam a very Happy Birthday.
He's turning 30 today. The big Three-O. What can I say?
Well, Adam, hurray to the beginning of the best decade of your life! With the bothersome perky 20s behind you, you can now look forward to a slowly failing memory, sagging skin in unexpected places, the onset of grey hair (or balding - whichever), and just a general realization that your body is taking a dive down the hill.
And yet you feel better than ever - because "wisdom" is also kicking in, making you realize all those facts (and more) in every excruciatingly painful detail. Isn't it great?

In other news from the around the world - Kerry points me to this blog of The Harrow Group (Kerry, you really gotta get your own blog, man. Have you been over to Veldt yet? Great hosting service!).
Despite the suspiciously corporate name, the lone guy behind the blog really is a techno-phile of the first class - who with astounding fervor and child-like enthusiasm, guides the reader through the fibercable chaos into the futuristic world of nanotechnology and quantum computing. Always a good read and an excellent source for sparks of future technology knowledge.

Pic of the Day? It's random, I'll tell y'all. But celebrating the glorious beauty and freshness of nature once again, here is a panorama of the Tuolomne River, cascading by a smooth rock butte, just East of Yosemite State Park.
