I’ve successfully removed my optical drive from my laptop, replaced it with my hard drive, and installed a new SSD in its stead. So shiny.

Impressive Boston Fire Dept response a few blocks from our offices near Post Office Square. http://t.co/OjpLfFG

The entire area around North Station/TD Garden is populated by portable TV trucks and studios. You can almost feel the satellite traffic.

RC has now graduated.

I think having just finished UVM orientation and class registration may have made HS graduation anticlimactic, but still a joyful event.

Had a lovely 20 hours in Florida. Now eager to get home for RC’s high school graduation.
