Unicode

Continuing research into Unicode led me to this very nice document - UTF-8 and Unicode FAQ for Unix/Linux. What is amazing is that this document suggests that ken invented UTF-8 in a restaurant with rob. It's astounds me that these guys are responsible for so many important concepts!

Sara Super Sunday

Yesterday was Sara Super Sunday - combining Sara Yun's birthday with a Superbowl party. The Yun's were so nice to have us over again, this time joined by a bunch of friends to watch the big game. The level of excitement is not unlike a AFL Grand Final party.

The Superbowl is a 3-part event - there's the football, there's food and there's the commercials. All are equal in importance in this unofficial Amercian holiday.

For the record, the Pats won which went with expectations, although most people I spoke with wanted the Eagles to triumph.
