With the moving of the clocks ahead it finally feels like Spring. I almost forgot that temperature-wise it’s almost always Spring in Silicon Valley. Even when it gets dark at 5PM, it can feel like Spring. I’d love to go out and enjoy, or even stay in and do some grilling, but I seem to have some kind of bug.

Since I’m not feeling well, I’m only going to add one more sign of the times and then give you some personal finance links. The New York Jets signed Bart Scott to a six-year $48 million dollar deal… and then proceeded to force everyone take 2 weeks off unpaid. Outstanding!
