- So, we got 10.5 inches/26.67 cm of snow last Friday. Then it got sunny and warmer and the snow was completely gone by Sunday afternoon. This video will help you share some of that experience: Are You MN Enough? Winter Sucks.
- Saturday night I dragged Jeanne to see Cloud Cult at the Fitzgerald Theater. It was awesome. 🙂 Here’s a great song of theirs (“Armor and Calla Lilies”) that sadly wasn’t played.
- Less than awesome was Chaos managing to scrape one of his corneas again (scroll down to the cat picture and note below it) on Wednesday. Ointment four times each day and back to the vet Tuesday for a recheck. Ugh. 🙁

Think, Do, Make, Learn
- You probably need to change some passwords because of the Heartbleed security bug. Good luck figuring out which sites have properly updated and reissued their security certificates so that it’s safe to change your password. (“Safe” as in you won’t have to change it at that same site again right away because they weren’t completely done with the fix.) Some black humor to help you through. (Hover your cursor for additional text.) And an explanation of Heartbleed from xkcd. (Again with the hovering.)
- Lots of vehicle recalls this week – this post about BMW’s recall has links to Ford and Toyota’s as well. “What to do if your car is recalled: An explainer“.
