The Eyes have it

My co-worker Aaron is back at work, following his LASIK ordeal last week. He's still viewing the world through milky corneas, but at least he can view the world...

Vonage: All Circuits Busy

In case anyone is trying to call our home number (which is a Vonage VOIP system) they're having an error in our area that's affecting incoming calls. All you'll get is "All circuits are currently busy" or a busy signal. I've called Vonage, and they say that the issue is being fixed, but they don't know when we'll have a full return to service.

R.I.P. John Spencer

I was shocked to see this morning that John Spencer, of the West Wing (and LA Law) has died. He's probably the best actor in the entire cast of the West Wing, in my opinion. It's sort of bizarre that he died of a heart attack, as his character on the show had one a couple seasons ago. I wonder how they'll handle this on the show, though honestly, I'd rather see Alan Alda win the "election" going on right now than Jimmy Smits...
