Lately I've been taking some time to replicate a big complicated spreadsheet that requires too much manual data entry with a combination of a database (SQLite is fully adequate for what I need out of this) and a quick and dirty program that gives me both a convenient interface for data that needs to be entered manually and a way to fire off a bunch of web API requests to eliminate a lot of that manual entry.

Today's dream was a largely incomprehensible high speed sci fi escape sequence (successful) and a denouement that was a bit too short to be satisfying.

This is in stark contrast to the Department of Transportation which has sent me mail letting me know that I don't need to go to the DMV and can renew my drivers license online. That expires in a couple months so it's been on my mind and now I know what I need to do without even having asked. (You know you're not empowering your customer service people adequately when you compare unfavorably to the DMV.)
