      Dear Mike D,
      I hope you like Texas a lot. Because we’re going to send you on a perpetual business trip to the Lone Star State.
      Yours Truly,
      Work.

      Mug, Bowl, and Saucer!

      November 21st, 2006 by mike d. in Quickthoughts

      Mykal makes pottery. And she made me a little mug, bowl, and saucer set.
      I am using my mug right now for a small cup of coffee. It makes me feel very happy to know that this mug was made especially for me.
      Thanks Mykal!!

      Rubix Cube

      November 21st, 2006 by mike d. in Work

      currently eating: beef and crackers

      I have a mini rubix cube on my desk. And there it has sat, unsolved, for over a year.

      A few weeks ago, Ed P. walked in. Ed P., it turns out, is one of those rubix cube guys who can solve a cube in 41 seconds. He saw it, picked it up, and started turning. He commented on how the small rubix is significantly more difficult than the large and that mine in particular doesn’t turn very smoothly.

      Then he put it down. The white side was complete, and the top edge aligned with the centers of each side.

      Today he walked back into my cube, picked up the rubix again… fiddled… and about 12 seconds later the middle row was in perfect alignment.

      It was a little magical. Here is a man who knows the algorithms of a rubix cube and can solve it. It’s almost like knowing a second language except more mechanical and less useful.

      Skyline 17

      November 21st, 2006 by mike d. in skyline, Features

      Skyline!

      Great job to all the folks who correctly identified Washington, D.C. and Stonehenge as the skyline and satellite images from last week.

      So here’s this week’s challenge. It might be easy… might be tough.

      Skyline!

      Satellite!

      Good luck!
