Your wife wants a salad spinner. What do you get her? Napolian Dynomite. At least she doesn't know, yet...

More Cussler

I finally finished Pacific Vortex. This was the original Dirk Pitt story, and you could tell Cussler was just getting started. However, it was a good story. He used pieces of this story throughout the Pitt series (even though it leaves some holes) and helps fill in details.

I also caught up in the past few months on a few other of the cussler books. You can keep track here: http://mark.phillk.net/sellBooksCussler.php

In other news, did my second public talk Sunday, and it came out pretty good. Not perfect, but I'll never be perfect. I might change my outline a bit, but all-in-all, it came out good, and it's done. (Whew!)

Work has been a nightmare! I lost track of all the things we've tried to get the site smoothed out. SQL errors, glitches, Internet providers shutting down on us. It seems like .Net 2.0 wasn't such a great idea. Too many new things to figure out, but oh well.

When ambulance chasing just doesn't pay the bills!

This guy want's to spread into new markets. Good for him.

"There's quite obviously demand for legal advice here", Jens Lorek told Reuters by telephone on Thursday. "The trouble is, people are afraid of making fools of themselves in court."
