Interesting day

Google earnings missed forecast.  Microsoft met expectation.  I can only wish what it'd be like if Xbox 360 red ring of death never happened (which cost 8¢ per share btw.  Ouch)

In addition, the Potter mania is fast cooking up at Amazon.  Although I find it very strange that there's very little or no promotion at all on the front page.  But I guess, Amazon has already gotten lots of free press on this 'pot' of gold.  If I recalled correctly, every HP launch has always been pretty big event -- lots of late night to make sure that all services are up and functioning.  All eyes are on the monitoring graph at both the service performance and also sale units.  Quite a fun time nonetheless and something that I missed.

Last but not least, moving on to a totally separate topic and personal note, my offer to the dream house has been accepted by the seller.  If everything goes well in the financing and inspection arena (fingers crossed), my commute to work would be less than a mile.  I can pretty much walk to work and would definitely be doing a lot of that on sunny day.  Wish me luck.
