I know where this week is going:

• Monday Night: Meeting with Yutaka.
• Tuesday Night: Dinner with W at Outback Steakhouse up in San Mateo.
• Wednesday Night: Macintalkers weekly meeting at Apple, with Officer dinner at BJs afterwards.
• Thursday: Dinner with InfoGain.
• Friday: Someone will think of Something.

The big question I have is: where did last week go? Sunday after SuperHappyAmyHouse I think I built up a head of steam. I guess the call and offer of an interesting project from Yutaka early in the week distracted me from 11-05 Challenge.

I should be able to knock that Applet work out within 2 weeks and return to the 11-05 Challenge.

There is no "should:" there is only "crush."

I hope Joel reads this and it lulls him into a false sense of supremely confident security.

In other news:

• I enjoyed the "Borrow Some Arrows" story told in the John Woo movie "Red Cliff" recommended to me by Sam.
• The Jeep hit 100k miles… Guess its time for an oil change.
• Saturday morning I did a 2 hour bike ride before 9AM and it didn't totally ruin my day. I wonder if that's possible to do during the work week?
• ScrumMastering at LiveOps is verging on becoming MicroManaging. Must avoid this pitfall. Awareness is key.
• The red t-shirt from W went over big. More comments than "Vote for Pedro." Seriously!

Before I close, allow me to restate my goals to shame myself into completing them:

• New User/Club creation.
• User/Club listing.

Okay, see you next week. I'll come bearing gifts and swallowed frogs.
