A few days ago, I discovered that my shower faucet handle was very loose. No big deal, I just needed to pop the cover off and tighten the screw.

Except that I hadn't taken into account how much nasty build-up had gotten into the crack between the metal cover and the faucet handle.

The screwdriver slipped as I was prying off the cover, and now I'm missing a good-sized chunk of skin from the palm of my hand.

You all know how much fun it is trying to keep a Band-Aid on your palm.

I also changed monitor cables. This thing has two connectors: one for the "standard" 15-pin VGA, and one for the 24-pin DVI (the same kind of connector HD TVs have). I hooked up the VGA, but Dave Kern told me that the DVI will give a better, sharper image and refresh rate.

So I swapped. I don't see an appreciable difference, but I trust his judgment.

Laundry and housecleaning today.

Be seeing you.
