[Insert Clever Title Here]

I should just cede the daily posting contest to Steve. This is essentially a space filler blog entry; a quickie so that I don’t lose ground. I don’t know if I’ll have time later today to do something more detailed/interesting. I wasted most of the day so far reprogramming my Pronto remote [...]
