I just upgraded my computer's memory by 512 MB for about $100. It's a great decision; I regret not doing it earlier. In fact, I'm likely to upgrade it another 400ish MB (replace the 128 MB card with a 512) in the next year.
I did it through crucial.com, which I highly recommend. Crucial.com is a division of Micron Technology. They make it easy to find the right kind of memory for your computer, which is the hardest part. They offer reasonable prices and free shipping.
Their support was also excellent. Highly recommended.

College Homecoming
I went to my college homecoming last weekend. I never thought I would answer the question "what are you doing now?" so many times. That said, I loved it. It was a great opportunity to catch up with people about what they were doing. The question is worth answering because that way others have to answer.
I get alot of ideas out of interactions like that. And some folks offer valuable connections.

Important lesson learned from my father
Always have a book with you wherever you go. It's amazing how having an interesting book can make otherwise frustrating waits into an enjoyable time. The 10 minute wait at the dentist's office can be productive if you let it be.
What I'm reading now: Eyewitness to Power by David Gergen. Gergen is a former speechwriter to Nixon who went on to work in the White House for Ford, Reagan and Clinton. He's a very moderate Republican who now teaches in the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. His book is supposed to be about leadership lessons from those four presidents. In other words, it seems like he wrote the book with his classes at the Kennedy School in mind. So now he can make students buy his book, and he can profit from teaching. [This is a personal pet peeve of mine.] The book is much less anecdote-heavy than usual. I'm underwhelmed thus far.
I also got The New New Thing by Michael Lewis of Liar's Poker and Moneyball fame. The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell, which seems to be a highly recommended business book. Netanyahu: The Road to Power, a 1998 biography by Caspit and Kfir (originally written in Hebrew; translated by Cummings).
