Still getting over my cold.  If only that annoying tickle in my throat would go away.  And if only my allergies weren't acting up.  Ah well.  Medicated with Mucinex, Clarinex, and cough drops, I finally walked to work for the first time in 2007.  And the weather, although allergy-inducing, is beautiful!  73 degrees and sunny.

One of the oddities of working on user interface issues for an internet company is that every time I go online, I'm entering a potentially work-related situation. For example, tonight I was trying to figure out the best way to book a vacation (flights and hotel). To do so, I used a combination of five different vertical search engines. Guess ( Read more... )
