A nice little day of work and work and work (followed by football; great game).  In anticipation of a nice little week of work and work and work (followed by football).  And sprinkled in, a bit of blogging...

Rock band played with a flute, awesomeness redefined.  Engadget's headline says it all.  I can see my daughter Megan doing this...  in fact I know she's going to try; stay tuned :)
