I just returned from the post office with the mail that built up (in four days? i know!) while we were gone, and there were 3 netfilx dvds in there… A few seconds after I did the following, I realized how 21st century I have become. So: stack of netflix envelopes right there in front of me, but (in what seemed to be an instinctual move) I accessed information on a server hundreds of miles away to determine their contents rather than opening them myself. Heh.
The aforementioned trip to NYC was supergreat. Pictures @ flickr; executive summary below:
