Woke up at 3, couldn't sleep. Weight training: superslow dumbbell press, superslow dumbbell fly, bridge. Stretches. Early meal: leftover winter soup and steamed rice. Shopping and errands with Patrick: Bed Bath and Beyond, The Container Store. Lunch at Anadale Mexican Restaurant: vegetarian flautas, veggie caribbean burrito, papaya agua fresca. Home. Installed organizers in the closet. Removed psychobauble and Nate's old, temporary DVD player and reinstalled the new one that they had borrowed from us. An item sold, so I prepared it for shipping. Archived product descriptions and receipts of today's purchases. Patrick and I watched Scratch (2001) on DVD borrowed from Sam. Set up synching between iCal (for home calendars only) and Google Calendar. Set up calendar publishing on frankfarm.org, published two of my calendars, required authentication for the subscriptions. This setup was so relatively easy that it got me rethinking how we do calendars at work on the web and publishing—there's so much more that we can be doing better. iCal doesn't have all the pieces, but I think Google Calendar does, and since all of our calendars are public, the only good reasons why we shouldn't try it out are (a) we cannot yet publish calendar updates manually (tho a 24-hour waiting period is not awful), and (b) we have no real assurance of reliability since it's a free service. I amazed myself by making an extremely tasty late meal for me: two cage-free eggs, bok choy, and parsley with organic ramen noodles in a mushroom-lemongrass broth, squeeze of lime. While waiting for it to cook, I heated an organic corn tortilla in the microwave and munched on it. Yum!
