After hearing about the Xobni plug-in for Outlook from Misty Khan on Twitter, I went over to the site to get a guest invitation. I was surprised to get one within a few hours (beta test invites are usually hard to score).

I picked up some chain store exclusives along the way, mostly repaints from earlier lines, and a few eBay auctions for older stuff, but no real conquests.

There was a scene in last week’s Battlestar Galactica, “Six of One”, where “Caprica Six” brought two Cylon Centurions into a meeting room. The ones, fours and fives were all represented there, and they tell her to get lost. In reply, the two Centurions open fire on everyone present while Six...
