I think I’ve mentioned this before, but I’m just about through with cold weather. Outside right now it’s a balmy 25 degrees, although with the wind-chill it feels like 14 degrees. Seriously, folks, it’s cold enough to piss you off. And that’s exactly what it’s doing to me. The wind is so severe it cuts right through you. Ugh.

Anyway, I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine’s Day. I am giving my loving, awesome wife who-puts-up-with-me her present today (yes, I know, it’s a day late…but I made it myself so it took a little longer than planned). If you’re really, REALLY nice, I’ll tell you what I made later.

And speaking of being pissed off, check out this recent blog post by author Tobias Buckell (warning: contains adult language). I love Mr. Buckell’s work and read his blog from time to time. In this post, Mr. Buckell critiques the recent Dodge commercial that was aired during the Super Bowl. I, too, thought this commercial was a generous waste of my tax bailout dollars. Attention auto-makers: Seriously, if this is the best you can come up with, don’t bother advertising at all. I’d rather see my tax dollars going towards R&D or something fruitful.

That’s all for now. Have a great Monday.
