A few random thoughts today.

Well, it’s been a good week in Beijing. Some say it’s hot today, but I’m enjoying the lower humidity and the stiff breeze anyway. The temperature got up to 34°C today.

I used tinyurl.com today. If you have a really long URL like the following:

31E8,

tinyurl.com will provide you with a permanent alias like this: http://tinyurl.com/j9z1. A lot shorter, isn’t it? So then I was able to include the shorter version in an email a lot easier than the long one. Oh, and did I mention it’s a free service? Check it out for yourself.

I had more things to write before I left work this evening, but I just got a phone call from Lily. She wants me to buy her supper tonight. Good thing I suggested it first. 🙂
