Well, happy Eostre.
If you don't know what that is maybe Bing it. Easter, yet another co-opted Christian holiday.
For me, Easter (like Xmas) is a fully secular holiday. It is about coloring eggs but not hiding them (it was always the candy that got hidden). It is about the Easter bunny and Cadbury Mini Eggs (yummy Cadbury Mini Eggs).

Political: Supreme Court and Gay Marriage
Here it goes...
Recently, the US Supreme Court has decided to take up the issue of gay marriage. No, marriage is not a right. What is with the US (post 1960s) trying to declare that absolutely everything is a right?
I really don't see how this is remotely an issue for the federal government (state governments, yes). If they actually make a ruling one way or another, I would consider it a bad ruling. As I see it, the only responsible thing they could do is say it is up to the states/voters in those states.

So It Kind of Snowed Again
Who would have thought that the highest snowfall total of "storm" I would see this year would happen in late March?
Well, I think that is what happened (though I have no clue on amounts - other than in excess of the last time). Ready for some (or two) pictures of common things (at least as far as snow is concerned) that may or may not make it look like more snow that it actually was? Too bad, there will be a few pictures anyway (yes, I know patio furniture type stuff is a cliché - too bad). The ruler says that was about 9" on the bench.

My Surface RT Report: February 2013
So what has been going on in the exciting world of Windows RT? Well the doomsayers are still out in full force. I still don't get some of their reasons. It is not that confusing (maybe I am overestimating the intelligence of consumers). Sure it may not be selling great (much of that is actually a function of price and distribution channels), but does that really matter. They also depressed sales by announcing the "pro" version before RT released. If they switched the release order things would likely be doing better.

Yet Another Disappointing Snow Storm
So, recently (like maybe Saturday) there was supposed to be a major snow storm here. There was even a winter storm warning issued. One local forecaster said that their might be up to 20" of snow from this storm in the metro area (oops CBS weatherman).
