Today, after a minor panic attack last night/this morning, I went to see a counselor at the Tang Center. As I left, I saw a coffeetable on the side of the road labeled "FREE." So I carried it the mile or so back to my house. Now my shoulders hurt.
My new laptop battery arrived (a day early, I might add), so I took the extra wireless card out of the battery compartment and the battery is charging now. I look forward to having decent battery life once again.
My PG&E bill also arrived, addressed to Andrew Fischer. GUYS, I SPELLED MY LAST NAME OVER THE PHONE WHEN I SIGNED UP. You have no excuse. On the upside, the call to get that corrected took about two minutes total, and the first 90 seconds of that was going through the automated receptionist.
Today, I met Ted Selker, IBM Fellow and inventor of the TrackPoint. He had lots of ideas regarding innovation. Most of them reminded me of what other things I'd heard about innovation in the past - come up with tons and tons of ideas, even though most are crap (Equal-Odds principle); only further develop the good ones; focus on real problems that human beings have.
