I-81 North in Virginia is at a dead standstill. There is atleast a 20 mile backup. We're at mile marker 166 and just a few minutes ago we saw an emergency vehicle drive past us on the shoulder. Hooray for Internet connected devices. - Russell Heimlich

It's 5:20 am. We've been in standstill traffic for the past 15 minutes or so. So much for getting a headstart on our trip to deep south Virginia. No worries as there is an in-van DVD player, an inverter to power my laptop, and I have my Zune. Don't worry I'm not driving. Kristina's parents sure know how to travel, they rock! - Russell Heimlich

Right side custom title: Google's Nexus One Smartphone Spills Its GutsRight side custom label: Videonexus one Since news broke of Google's own Android-powered smartphone, the Nexus One, the Net's gone wild for the phone. Some enterprising fellows have even taken apart a leaked ROM and worked out what's inside it: Good stuff, that's what. - Russell Heimlich

After work Kristina and I went to Brookside Garden of Lights with our friends Kathy and Alex. They had lots of displays including a thunderstorm with a rainbow, lions, turtles, pigs, a wolf howling at the moon, and lots of flowers. Pictured here is a giraffe and a sea dragon. They were easily my two favorite light sculptures. - Russell Heimlich

Web design trends of 2009 - "I notice a lot of them are minimalistic design with beautiful serif fonts. The grungy and sketchy styles are still strong. However, the large background is no longer as hot as in 2008, instead, texturized background is popular in 2009." - Russell Heimlich

""The existing strategy is working well for Google, with huge increases in Android sales. I don't think Google will change its strategy now." Google's motive isn't pushing phones, it's getting more people to surf the web more in order to click on more ads as well pumping more data to Google. That's why they made a mobile operating system that anyone could do whatever they wanted with it. This Google Phone is how Google plans to raise the bar to speedup the innovation in the handset market. All the phone manufactures can't be mad at Google for doing this, without Google they would be fucked against the iPhone. Android allows handset makers to free up resources from developing software to focus more on creating better hardware." - Russell Heimlich

""being unlocked doesn’t mean that the phone won’t still require a contract just to get onto a wireless network." T-Mobile won't require a contract with their even more plus plan. This sounds like a push by Google and T-Mobile to modernize the U.S. wireless industry. Google needs more people surfing the web and clicking on ads and T-Mobile needs more subscribers. Sounds like a match made in heaven." - Russell Heimlich

My new Rav 4 is covered in snow for the first time. I heard we were supposed to get some snow today but this is more than I expected. It is really coming down in big, flakey chunks. Good thing I got the 4x4 model Rav 4 as I am supposed to drive up to my parents house later to help out with a kayaker holiday party. - Russell Heimlich
