Codeweavers Lame Duck presidential challenge

CodeWeavers, a generally cool company to begin with, is hosting a "great american lame duck presidential challenge". If Bush is able to meet clear, specific, and reasonable goals, CodeWeavers will give away their software for 24 hours - fully functional, fully supported, no charge. One copy per customer.

I hope they're able to give away a lot.

Sailing with Laurel and Ella

James and I went up to the boat this past weekend, to do a bunch of projects with my dad. Laurel and Ella were at my folks, attending a nature camp at Hartley Nature Center in Duluth. On Saturday, we went for a sail. We had really nice winds at the start, but then a thick fog came in from the lake. Laurel and Ella were a bit cold, and Laurel provided a demonstration of why kids and expensive digital SLR cameras don't mix. Luckily, I don't have an expensive digital SLR camera - I've got an olympus C-8080. Clearly, I'm missing an important filter - but what kind of filter do you use to filter out kid spit?
