Rant of the Day:
Aaaargh! I've spent about two hours trying to figure out how to post video of Jesse's poetry reading at school (all 15 seconds of it -- it's a short poem). To that end, I registered for a YouTube account, a gmail account (couldn't get the YouTube confirmation email at my verizon address), and spent no small amount of time trying to figure out how to get one of my movie maker programs to load the video, only to realize that the CD they had burned of the poetry reading was actually a DVD, I suppose to make it easy on us, but essentially making it the most complicated process possible to post it online, and yes, it took me quite a while to figure out that ripping a DVD was not a simple process. I probably shouldn't complain, after all, somebody volunteered to edit video of the reading and burn 22 DVDs, but hey, this is McLean, everybody has at least 3 computers and I'll bet half of the parents want to send it to relatives electronically!

Only one thing to do. I'm going shopping.
