The only remarkable moment was during Q&A a young woman asked "I have just one question. Why are you in favor of amnesty for illegals?".

McCain: "I'm not."

woman: "I've been informed that you are."

McCain: "You have been poorly informed."

He then did go on to talk to his position on immigration -- securing the borders but also said that we should treat those here illegally well since we are all god's children.

Blogging @ 10

I heard on NPR that today was the 10th anniversary of the blog. Turns out that this nozell.com/blog just over half that old -- 5 years, 9 months, 12 days. Born on date: March 5th, 2002.

And I still have Jorn's blog in my RSS aggregator: Robot Wisdom and the more frequently updated Robot Wisdom auxiliary

HP leaving NH

Yup, the office building known as ZKO and where I've spent the last 20 years working for DEC/Compaq/HP is no longer going to be where I park my butt during the day. I'll be heading down to Marlboro, MA a few days a week starting sometime in 2008.

Here is what the Nashua Telegraph has to say in their newsblog section: HP to close Nashua site. The news traveled fast -- their entry is dated 5:24pm today, just hours after the official announcement to employees.

Update: Wednesday full coverage in the Nashua Telegraph: HP to close Nashua site

I wonder when the new owners will take down the VMS-inspired Non-Paged Pool sign.
