Sadly, I find this article VERY informative & interesting. Working with X12 files all day makes me notice things like Element separators, Line termination segments and CR/LF.
UltraEdit32 (http://www.ultraedit.com/products/ultraedit.html) is my favorite tool in my IT workshop.

Conan's goodbye
“Before we end this rodeo, a few things need to be said. There has been a lot of speculation in the press about what I legally can and can’t say about NBC. To set the record straight, tonight I am allowed to say anything I want. And what I want to say is this: between my time at Saturday Night Live, The Late Night Show, and my brief run here on The Tonight Show, I have worked with NBC for over twenty years. Yes, we have our differences right now and yes, we’re going to go our separate ways. But this company has been my home for most of my adult life. I am enormously proud of the work we have done together, and I want to thank NBC for making it all possible. Walking away from The Tonight Show is the hardest thing I have ever had to do. Making this choice has been enormously difficult. This is the best job in the world, I absolutely love doing it, and I have the best staff and crew in the history of the medium. But despite this sense of loss, I really feel this should be a happy moment. Every comedian dreams of hosting The Tonight Show and, for seven months, I got to. I did it my way, with people I love, and I do not regret a second. I’ve had more good fortune than anyone I know and if our next gig is doing a show in a 7-11 parking lot, we’ll find a way to make it fun. And finally, I have to say something to our fans. The massive outpouring of support and passion from so many people has been overwhelming. The rallies, the signs, all the goofy, outrageous creativity on the internet, and the fact that people have traveled long distances and camped out all night in the pouring rain to be in our audience, made a sad situation joyous and inspirational. To all the people watching, I can never thank you enough for your kindness to me and I’ll think about it for the rest of my life. All I ask of you is one thing: please don’t be cynical. I hate cynicism- it’s my least favorite quality and it doesn’t lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you’re kind, amazing things will happen. As proof, let’s make an amazing thing happen right now. Here to close out our show, are a few good friends, led by Mr. Will Ferrell…”

Finished my Tracy Morgan book, and I have now moved onto Superfreakanomics. This is the followup to the bestselling Freakanomics.

Tracy Morgan - I Am The New Black
This is my current audio book that I am ‘reading’ while driving to/from work. Very, very good look at growing up in the ghetto of NYC. Not as funny as I expected, but much more insightful. (read by Tracy)

(From Rick Reilly of ESPN.COM) …You need look only a foot farther to see something even more puzzling on K-Mart (Kenyon Martin), whose skin is a kind of human bathroom stall — his ornate “I Shall Fear No Man But God” scrawled on his back. Uh, see Kenyon, the thing is: God isn’t a man . Did you mean, Fear No Man. Fear God? That’s the unfortunate thing about tattoo guns: no delete key.

I'll Become Even More Undignified Than This
I will dance
I will sing
To be mad
For my King
Nothing Lord
Is hindering
This passion in my soul

They will not force us,
They will stop degrading us,
They will not control us,
We will be victorious
We should never be afraid to die
