Super-saturated Solutions.... I was musing about how a heart full of love could also be filled with hope and in the filling not squeeze out any of the love.  Wednesday was "cookie day" at the job-site.  Somebody contributed tiny squares of a short-bread confection that had a thin frosting of rich chocolate.  Volumetrically these little land-mines for the dieter couldn't have been any larger than about 1.5 tablespoons of goodness.  But each one must have had the caloric equivalent of 1.5 tablespoons of sugar plus 1.5 tablespoons of butter plus 1.5 tablespoons of flour PLUS about half a teaspoon of chocolate. I had three.  They sure tasted good.  8:15:28 AM

VoIP...  As the FCC seems to be charging ahead to regulate that which deifes regulation, communications companies and consumers alike are united in their desire for the government to keep its hands off Voice over IP traffic on the Internet..  Fortunately, precedent has already emerged that will make the high-jacking a little more difficult. There's some work that I wanted to read this morning on the subject published by the Alexis de Toqueville Institution, but the link is broken, presumably as they change servers.  Bad timing. 6:58:52 AM
