New packaging for Lavshuca Dramatic Memory Rouge

I took a look at the display today and noticed that Dramatic Memory Rouge has new packaging, and I am not a fan!

Ugh.  Ah well.  At least the line still exists.

thinking about the beach

Love this Tommy Bahama jute beach bag!  I'm all about jute stuff, but I've found it hard to find nice stuff made in it.

After months of slogging, I finally finished "Hope in a Jar" - a far more academic, historical look at the culture of beauty than I anticipated.  I am now working through Dale Carnegie's "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living" - quite practical and moderately interesting.  I hope to get through it this week.

Next on my get-rid-of-books-taking-up-space list: I'm going to try to get through "Tai Chi Chuan - 24 & 48 Postures with Martial Applications".  Tai Chi is pretty boring when trying to learn through a book.

adb: thanks to the interwebz

Ran into an issue where I was getting an adb error when trying to run my Android project.
The interwebz saved the day!

saturday cooking

Trying out an approximation of this corn bread recipe - lots of sugar!

I always mix the batter too much though, so the odds of success are low.  But it's good to use up my cornmeal and flour.  From now on, corn bread mix is my friend.

diving into agile

I have a lot to learn, but our first sprint is scheduled for Monday!

A clear post on how to set up UTF-8 in eclipse.

What is it like?

It's fast-paced, interesting, and there's a lot to do!
