These things I know to be true...

1) Image/graphics software is more complicated than it needs to be... that said, I had an 'ah ha!' moment with a Photoshop type package which meant I could finish something nicely that I've been stuck on for over a week.  And very happy I am with the results too

2) I'm now knee deep in editing a couple of promo videos together including one for a local Angel fund who are interested in aspects of our technology...  I'm deeply impressed with Microsoft Expression Encoder Screen Capture...  I'm not entirely sure about the Encoder product itself, which I'm sure is deeply wonderful, but might be a little over powered for my casual needs

3) I have discovered, or rather remembered, that super glue appears to be better at sticking flesh to flesh than things to things while I was repairing the crisper shelf bracket in the fridge

4) Messing around learning new computer things is an incredible time sink, a veritable black hole of time suckingness

5) Almost every coffee shop in Seattle that locks it's wifi uses the same password
