I Charged My Kindle Today
This is more of a reference post, so when I charge it next time, I have some conception of how long the battery actually lasts me.

Rereading the Harry Potter Series
Currently at the beginning of Order of the Phoenix, when Harry is accompanied by Mr. Weasley on the way to his disciplinary hearing. And the elevator announces that they have arrived on Level Seven, which is home to a number of different offices, including the "Ludicrous Patents Office".
If I lived in the Harry Potter universe, I know where I'd want to work.

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
Read the book, and now have seen the movie. Or at least the Swedish version. Not the Hollywood version that comes out later this year with Daniel Craig and Stellan Skarsgard.
I am curious to know what someone who has not read the book thought of this movie.

Indy 500
Well... Looks like there's no more reason to watch next weekend.
Scott Speed and his team have apparently pulled out due to excessive crashitude.

Holy Crap, Sebastian Vettel/Red Bull
Of the last 10 Grands Prix (including the last 5 of last season), Sebastian Vettel has 7 wins and 2 second place finishes. And one retirement, where his engine blew at the end, when he was comfortably in the lead. And 7 poles.
In addition to his come-from-behind victory in the World Championship season, Vettel has a comfortable lead in the championship this year. Of 125 total points available this year, Vettel has 118. 2008 World Championship (and owner of a rather ridiculous looking chin-strap beard) is in 2nd place with 77 points. With 25 points for a win, Vettel is over a win and a half worth of points in the lead.
Good race today. A lot of strategy, and a really good drive by Vettel and Hamilton. Some tense moments as Alonso took the lead into the first corner from 4th on the grid, and pole sitter and Red Bull driver, Mark Webber, ended up 3rd through the first corner, and 4th in the race. By the way, Alonso ended up in 5th.
