With all the news about Atom 0.3, you'd think that RSS was on the way out, especially since the RSS spec is frozen at 2.02 or 2.03. I'm hoping that's not so, since it's the first widely used XML application that's simple in nature to the average person. I guess I'll find out more this week at RSS Winterfest.

Abandoning SpamBayes (Spam filtering for Outlook Express) in favor of Mailshell's 'SpamCatcher Universal' for Outlook Express.

I think it's cool that the State of Nevada Commission on Tourism officially supports geocaching (and has placed their own cache).

Drove Mira Loma Rd (not Dr) for the first time. Was disappointed to see that it currently is partially closed, so it no longer connects with Geiger Grade. Did manage to drive, however, all the way from Damonte Ranch to McCarran via Steamboat and Mira Loma. Pretty cool. The road sucks, however, and is very muddy in parts. The remnants of pavement are badly potholed, and the rest is unpaved and fairly rocky. Saw some wild horses along the roadside, the new Damonte Ranch High School, as well as discovering a clay sports complex (for shooting clay pigeons), and some popular offroad trails.

Why are some horse salt licks brown? Is there brown salt? Becky loves Adams-brand 'Chiclets' gum, and it's only $0.20 for a dozen pieces at Wally World.

Becky says "hish" for "fish" and "hun" for "sun". Cute.

So, I'm staring at the piano during Primary, and I notice that the letters of the brand label (Kawai) aren't equally spaced or aligned. It looks something like this (although not this exaggerated):

K I
A A
W
Strange.
