Half my company was sold today
Our company has 2 groups: the Enterprise group (business to business), and the Consumer group. I came in this morning to find out that they sold the Enterprise half of the company to fund the Consumer side. Luckily I work in the Consumer side, but it may be time to start applying elsewhere, just in case.
When it rains, it pours.

Wtf?
Someone just told me about an event called 'Carnival of Stars', which is an event in the Bay Area that is part belly dance show and part comic book convention. I'm intrigued. Check it out:

Amusement of note

Oh, and by the way, I'm slowing going back to blonde. :-)

Two weekends ago, I got to go see the Sac crew for Sarah and Ian's birthdays. Last weekend I had the pleasure of seeing many of them again, as Erin, Sarah, Justin, and Lily came and visited Travis and I for the Renaissance Faire in Golden Gate Park ( Read more... ) -
Large Hadron Collider
Switzerland is building a Large Hadron Collider that's 7 times bigger than the largest on earth. It's set to be turned on in August. Despite a bit of ludite fear surrounding the machine, I'm rather looking forward to reading the whitepapers that will come out of the research done using the LHC ( Read more... ) -

Yesterday was the 2nd time I was accused of matching my mouse to my shirt. That kind of thing makes me want to do it on purpose. I'd have a different mouse for every day of the week, and use tech as fashion accessories. Geek chic: the new cool.
In other news, my mother just brought home a new puppy. She's the cutest thing ever:

Quoth the server
I noticed that today's XKCD is # 405, and the last one was 403. I thought the author must have made a mistake on the link, so I typed in this:
http://xkcd.com/404/
and got a 404 error.
I like this guy's sense of humor. ;)
