JPMorgan Bombing: Bomb Explodes At Bank Offices In Athens
(AP) Police in the Greek capital say a bomb has exploded at the offices of American financial services firm JPMorgan Chase & Co., causing no injuries.
Good thing there were no injuries.
The government of Greece was hiding the extent of their financial borrowing. Now they're screwed, and possibly the European Union with them
Having lived in Athens Greece, bombings are actually not that surprising. They regularly have student marches that disintegrate into Molotov cocktail throwing. Most of the businesses in the center of downtown have full metal curtains for this sort of regular occurrence. (There's a big violent-anarchist segment of the left there.)
Gah! My friend just posted part of Chris Rose's Letter to America from after Katrina, and I am homesick and in tears.
Glad that meeting was canceled.
Wasn't an embassy toilet a casualty when Raq was there?
Yeash, lisah, this winter's been especially rough on you. I've never really liked snow, but now I have a pretty adversarial relationship with it. Plus now it is scary, not just annoying.
Despite the roads being a gawdawful mess (and the idiot decision to go ahead with the 39th closure) I really can't say the city is handling it poorly. We were never equipped for this kind of snowfall; it is going to take a while to recover. But the bonehead decisions, those I fault.
My father just called to see if I still wanted to come over for dinner (my mother's out of town all week). Of course! I'm all equipped!
I would like some cake, either King or otherwise.
Also, patience. I ran out of mine on the commute to work today, and people keep expecting me to have some.
Ack! I was unclear. I was asking Dana.
Oh, it's just me being a traditionalist. To me, king cakes come from McKenzie's, and are round and not filled with anything. Unless it's a king cake you got in grade school, which meant you had to buy the big square ones in order to feed everyone.
My god, Netflix is going to be the undoing of me. The user really wants this one page to act like the Netflix queue page--and I keep learning things that the queue page does that I had no idea about.
Jessica, all kinds of good, powerful ~ma.

You mean a client wants something you're building to work like NetFlix does?
Which reminds me I have NetFlix stuff I either need to watch or send back.
