1. MT Open Source 4.1 is now available. I still have no idea whether to stick with the free MT or the free MTOS. Need to ponder this some time I have some spare cycles.
2. Old valentines.
3. The TSA has confirmed that some locations were asking for people to pull all their cables out of their bags, and that this was not official policy -- and that it won't happen again.

9. Guillermo Del Toro will be directing The Hobbit under Peter Jackson's executive producership.
