Seen on the way in to work this morning: A Baltimore cop, waving to a woman on the street from their cruiser. As I got closer, I realized he and his partner were wearing Groucho nose and glasses. Unfortunately I was driving, and I didn’t have time to bring my camera to bear.

Hopefully tonight, Jen and I are gonna go see Pirates of the Caribbean. I’m looking forward to it. Yarrrr!

I may have already linked to this, and I’m too lazy to go searching for it, but I think this will be a Christmas present for Bill this year. The Slim Devices Slimp3 is a networkable MP3 decoder for your stereo—you connect your computer to the SLIMP via Ethernet, and your SLIMP to your stereo through RCA jacks. The SLIMP takes care of the rest. A fine solution to getting all the CD’s I’ve burned back to the stereo, which has more power and sound than my computer’s speakers.

Then again, there’s the 30GB iPod with an FM transceiver to broadcast all those songs-and playlists-to any FM stereo within 30 feet or so. Yeah, I think maybe that’s a better solution. But that SLIMP device is slick.
