- Learn the words to the following lullabies:
- Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star (all three verses)
- Brahms' Lullaby (yes, there are words)

- All the Pretty Little Hippos Horses
- Rock-a-bye eBay Baby
- Are You Sleeping? ("yes" is the only right answer...)
- Golden Slumbers (not the Beatles' version, unfortunately)

- Mozart's Lullaby (which was actually written by...Mozart)
- Suo-Gan (trans. "Sleep My Baby")

- Bye, Baby Bunting
- Sleep, Baby, Sleep

- Set a midterm for CSC407.
- Get DrProject 2.0 out the door
- Won't actually happen until March, but I hope we can fix whatever is causing it to crash occasionally before then.
- Hire some students to work on DrProject this summer
- And find money to pay them: since I still don't have a contract with U of T, I don't have any money of my own...
- But Google's Summer of Code announcement should be out soon...
- Visit Ottawa (as soon as my niece is well enough for visitors)
- Write an I2I grant proposal

- Help the rest of my students find jobs
- Catch up with Battlestar Galactica (we're currently watching Season 2)
- Other shows currently include Stargate and Stargate: Atlantis, House, Supernatural, Dr. Who, and CSI (the original, of course)
- Really wish I could get into Ugly Betty and Little Mosque on the Prairie, but I'm just... not... strong... enough for comedy
