A few of us at work have decided to go in together on a picnic table. There are nice plantings and such around our building, and the road that runs past here isn't too noisy. But at the moment, there's nowhere nice to sit outside and read papers or have lunch. So we're going to create such a place.
Picnic tables are surprisingly inexpensive - only around $100, if you get one made out of wood. Divided among several people, that's a small price to pay for a spot to sit and eat lunch on nice days. Pictures soon to follow.

While a minor overstatement, I find that the challenges of dependable computing are quite compelling and, moreover, have the potential for significant social and economic impact as our lives become increasingly tied to computers (like it or not).
When I'm not tied to my computer (all day at work, most days), I like to be outside, doing something, usually with a camera on my hip. Staring at pixels all day adds to an appreciation of the (unsampled) beauty of the real world.
