Kind of cool article about Nima Arkani-Hamed and the $10 billion accelerator CERN is building in Switzerland.

Just got home, kind of a late night at work (actually late week), and after that stopped by Playwright with Hans for dinner. They had a guy playing guitar, kinda loud, but luckily he finished while we were still there.

Watched for American Idol yesterday, find myself not caring a ton about the finalists this year, I think it was the same last year. Maybe David Cook, the most original by far. I am more looking forward, though, to So You Think You Can Dance, that will be starting in a few weeks, cool.

I noticed MTV has started doing something tricky with their shows: they flag them all as "New" whether they are or not. That causes your DVR to record them all. That's totally cheating, as nobody else does it, if a show plays a second time it's supposed to be labeled as "Repeat". I wonder how may people have realized about this scheme.

Anway, time for bed. Or at least soon.

Just getting home from the office, a little later than usual even for a Monday. Nice out, close to 60, not bad for this time of night. I am trying to decide whether I am hungry enough to eat dinner. I think I am, so I will sit down and eat.

Saw the Iron Man got really good reviews (Rotten Tomatoes 93% fresh!), which I figured. Great stuff, fun.

Went and watched Iron Man tonight, at the Regal on Union Square. I liked it! I thought Downey Jr was quite good, he did a good job. Before that I met with Hans and Nicole for dinner at Cafe Centosette. The day turned out to be really nice and pleasant, hope the weather stays this way for the rest of the week. Going to bed soon, I have to get up very early tomorrow.
