I have this pre-ordered and waiting. I really like Ann's style of writing, and I'm curious to see where she goes with the Urban Fantasy genre.
Don't forget to check out the contest on her blog!
If you're at all interested (you kind of have to have a Mac, though), please buy through my link here: http://www.macheist.com/bundle/u/27
It's the same price for you, but I can get one or two additional applications.
Thanks!

Apparently mom's stable, and the tests that they're running are coming back normal. I ended up not driving up since it was no longer an emergency and the weather is going to be very iffy tonight (it's just started sleeting/snowing here, and it's probably worse up there). So, I'm going to wait and see what the cardiologist has to say tomorrow. They're going to run some tests and see if they can figure out what in the heck happened, and what can they do to try to not have it happen again. May have been a potassium imbalance (too high/too low), although it's way to early to speculate yet.
I'm on my way to Aurora. Apparently Mom went into V-Fib earlier this afternoon, and they took her in the ambulance to the hospital. They're working on getting her heart rate down slowly, but it's apparently fairly dicey.
More as events warrant...

If anyone is interested and hasn't bought the bundle yet, I'd really appreciate it if you buy it through my link here: http://www.macheist.com/bundle/u/27
It's the same price for you either way, but if I can get two referrals I'll get an interesting tool.

Picturesque - Quick image touchup tool for nice edits / effects without loading a full-up photo editing tool
SousChef - Digital Cooking Assistant / Recipe Book
World of Goo - Innovative puzzle game for the Mac (it's quite fun)
PhoneView - Gives you complete synch ability for an iPhone or iPod Touch. Good companion to iTunes - you can get to pretty much all of your data with this
LittleSnapper - Screen Shot snap utility with extras (capture part of a web page, annotate, etc.)
Acorn - Photo Editor 'for the rest of us' - Looks to be somewhat between Picturesque (above) and a full-size editing tool
Kinemac - Intuitive 3D Animation. Easily make 3D animations on your Mac
WireTap Studio - Good quality recording utility for your Mac - Can record from any audio source that you can hear on the Mac, and gives editing capabilities

Times - I'm liking this one - it's a really cool RSS reader / aggregator for the Mac. It gives you a new UI - it presents all of your RSS feeds in a "newspaper" graphical format, and it really feels like an up-to-date, real newspaper.

Made it safely to Orlando, and it's nice and warm (70*). What a change from last week.
I'm on the "Disney Magical Express" on the way to my hotel. I should be there in the next 30 min or so. Check in, and then I have to head over to Lotusphere registration and my appointment with Research in Motion. Anyone have any feedback about Blackberry devices or servers? This is a customer feedback 1 on 1, and I'd be glad to pass any feedback along.
Plus here in Florida they apparently have skywriting:

Yes, yes I did! I was #600 at my polling place.
( Proof... )
As an added bonus, I found out what happens when you spoil a ballot and need a new one (my mind was moving faster than my hand when running through the judicial retention section).

Update:
The city of Bloomington did well in the turnout category this year. My precinct ended up with 759 votes cast out of 964 registered voters, 78.73% turnout. The city (44 precincts) ended up with a 79.73% turnout, with the majority (26/44) of the precincts in the 80-90% category and one precinct had 90.26% of registered voters casting votes. I'm pretty sure this was one of the highest turnouts we've had on a percentage basis - 2004 was 76.35%, 2000 was 69.09%, 1996 was 65.96% (that's as far back as the on-line records go).

So I decided to open a checking account at National City bank this week, mostly because they have a "work perks" promotion where they'll pay me $163 to open the account (counts as interest).
Everything has been smooth, except it turned out that someone else already has an account with the same Tax ID number (TIN) as me. We started worrying about identity theft, but it's apparently legitimate.
It's supposedly rare, but the IRS can issue an Employer ID number (EIN) that is the same digit sequence as a Social Security number (SSN) issued by the Social Security Administration, and both are valid TINs. The only difference is the hyphenation - an SSN is ###-##-#### while an EIN is ##-#######.
Since National City (and probably other banks) store the number as #########, it can lead to confusion in the rare instance that two entities with the same number sequence have an account at the same institution.
Apparently they have to report it to homeland security and provide definite proof of ownership of both numbers so that the government can decide that you're not a threat. Woohoo.
I still got the account - it was just a bit disconcerting.

The advertising at the end of the post is configurable as well. You can turn off "promote this app".
You can easily post pics from the phone - it automatically puts them into LJ scrapbook.
You can easily put in user tags and cuts, as well as URL references.

OpenOffice 3 has been released at openoffice.org.
Also can easily bold, italicize and strikethrough.
It's not bad for v0.5, and it's free!
