and I forgot to say that the other thing I've been loving this week is new games and features on the xbox 360. I'm just so mad for xbox right now, especially after they released catan on xbox live last week. It's just real catan, but available day and night, but of course you can still play with your friends as well, which is pretty cool for me when all my board game contacts are in other countries. And carcassonne is coming out next week as well...bring it on.
And MS have integrated messenger services into the dashboard as well now, which I think is quite cool.

Notes from a grey corner of Sollentuna
Sollentuna is where I live for the un-initiated. It's currently a grey spring day, but the nights are short and the days are long right now as we approach mid-summer.
This week has been one of work, but with planning for my 5 week holiday / training period away from work, which starts next Thursday, and then I'm clear free until 25th June - nice!! I'm off to Munich in 10 days for some cool Windbg training, and then its outdoor activites all the way.
This week I've been enjoying playing with a new LastFM subscription, especially after pandora was turned off, but frankly it blows pandora away anyway in my opinion, and I'm completely mad for it. You can see the widget in the right hand bar here.
Last week I met a very cool Syrian guy who owns a fruit and veg market down the road from here, well when I say met, I went to his market and got talking to him, because he had a great selection of interesting produce, and being from the middle east he understood the need to stock large bunches of just about every herb there is, and to naturally sell everything for half the price of a supermarket. I felt like practicing my Swedish as well, so we chatted for ages. I'm off there in a minute to go and buy a shed load of ingredients and hopefully spend the weekend cooking.
