Good game last night. Pretty exciting right there at the end. Kind of annoying to start off watching with a DVR and fast forwarding through commercials until you start watching live, and then it becomes a bit tedious. Thought I was coming down with a cold or something, but it seems to be drifting away, which is good. A little excited about a couple things coming out of CES this year, like the Sony Reader, which I'm actually kind of excited about. Especially if it's backlit. Had some issues with the 135 LaSalle Express. Yesterday it was so hot people were taking off coats. I was pretty much sitting on a furnace, to the point that the keys I have on my backpack where too hot to touch. And then this morning it stopped twice, once on lower Lake Shore before turning onto Wacker and then again at LaSalle and Lake. Odd. But the heat thing annoys me. Wonder how that's controlled. Anyway, in what I guess is one of my New Year's resolutions, I want to try keeping better track of my finances, which means using iBank and downloading data for my bank and credit card accounts. We'll see if I can actually keep up with that. Too bad I can't automate that one.
