Last week was a shower of good news!
- I got promoted at work! Now I'm a Senior Software Engineer, which doesn't translate into anything different on a day-to-day basis. But I'm still excited :-)
- I am now officially a webOS Black Belt developer! Looks like I get some nice marketing material for my webOS apps, as well as a hefty discount on developer devices.
- (good news #3 is embargoed for now, but hopefully I'll get to talk about it soon...)

- LabVIEW 2011 has released! You should totally go buy it or whatever. I made that unable to find the run-time engine dialog. Well, I added a sentence and some buttons. I'm sure this is as exciting for you as it is for me!
- Long read: retelling of the bin Laden raid with some new information.
- Girls Go Geek...Again! - in 1987, 42% of the software developers in America were women. I had no idea!
- If the world lived in a single city - mostly posting this for a good visualization of how sprawled Houston is. (very)
- The Centrist Cop-Out - op-ed by Krugman about the debt ceiling brouhaha.
- The Platinum Coin Option - thinking outside the box to avoid debt ceiling catastrophe.
- What Happens if We Don't Raise the Debt Ceiling? - short answer: things get crazy.
- Hollywood is about to repeat the mistakes of the music industry - sigh! (thanks David!)
- In Time trailer - sci-fi action thriller that looks pretty darn good.
- A cool use of high-frequency and low-frequency images to see if you're nearsighted. (when I take off my glasses I see a giant blob :-) )
