    The "economic stimulus" check plus my tax refund will almost cover a certain piece of glass...

    Concrete extension to my driveway - so I guess my stimulus will also become someone else's stimulus!! :)

    It all goes into the general fund, of course, but it should just about cover a foreign trip I have projected for September/October. I'll be flying there on a US-flag carrier, but the ticket is free. My goal is not a penny spent in the United States :)

    Well, the money already came and went ... got myself a much-needed new PC. I have two computers, one running Linux that's my main desktop, and another running Windows for Photoshop and games. I'd built the new Windows machine last year, but the Linux machine was coming up on 6 years old (Dell Optiplex GX1) and while everything was still working, a 1 GHz P3 with 384MB of RAM just wasn't cutting anymore. Picked up a new Dell Vostro 200, a 500GB hard drive, and another 2 gigs of RAM. Spent the last couple of days getting all the data copied over and everything set up just right, and wow is it nice. (Of course, upgrading was something I'd been planning on doing about now anyway. I just lucked out the the feds subsidized it.)

    I'm thinking about that too...my computer was top-of-the-line about two years ago, which just isn't cool for someone in my line of work. :)

    Hm...better pictures, or faster editing...?

    If that check is burning a hole in your pocket, this dude is for rent.

    Stimulus Package? What package? Apparently there are some families/individuals that have a certain income level and will not be getting it.

    OH WELL
