I just heard myself on the Daily Source Code. I know I used to podcast but to hear your voice on one of the most well known podcasts is pretty fun. My voicemail comment can be heard around 36 minutes into show number 537.
I just added my shared items from my Google reader to the left. I don’t really like the look of it all but it is a start. Maybe someday I will figure out how to blend it to flow properly with the site. I guess you could always just subscribe to the feed of it instead. Enjoy.

I just found out about this tax credit available for our 2006 taxes. Thanks Digg!!
I like gadgets. Well, really, I love gadgets. I am a sucker for new things coming out in general. This week I am going bonkers trying to take it all in. Closest to home for me is the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Then of course there is CES which is total porn for a gadget geek. To complete my trifecta, the Macworld Expo kicks off today. My RSS reader has been in overdrive the past two days and things are just getting started. I am totally digging the greener options being explored in motown this week. My current favorite concept is the Chevy Volt. Now that would be a fun car!

Every one else is doing it. I don’t want to be left out. Darn, only five points from being Superman.

I saw this on digg. Seems like no one is sure if Einstein came up with this or not. According to Wikipedia it is known as the Zebra Puzzle. Whether it was Einstein’s puzzle or Carroll’s, this should keep you busy for a few minutes. It took me a while but eventually I got the answer. Email me at YippieShow at gmail if you want to know what I came up with.
