Columbus Day, 2010. A little bit o'this and that today.
It's late on a Monday where the government and the banks took the day off to celebrate the discovery of America. Turns out it was here all along; it was just a well-kept secret from the rest of the world.
My son informs me that yesterday was "42 Day." You see, in the science-fiction satire series, "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," a supercomputer named "Deep Thought" was built to discover the answer to the question of "life, the universe, and everything." After millennia, Deep Thought announced that the answer was "42." So what has that got to do with yesterday? Apparently 10-10-10 in binary = 42.
Finally, my wife and I returned late this afternoon from a weekend in the northern lower peninsula of Michigan, enjoying autumn colors. I've updated her page at my website and posted a dozen of the many fine pictures she took. I also took the liberty to update my Web Site of the Week catalog. It now stretches all the way back through 2005. I have not yet had the time to determine if all those links still work.
