iRobot stock jumped to $41.99, up $4.29 (+11.38%) to a near record high today. Would you like to know why? As far as I can tell, it was because I elected to sell a large block of stock options yesterday. Talk about seriously bad timing! I sold a couple of smaller lots today to try and dollar cost average away my poor luck.

Shortly after sunrise, I made a brief photography walk in the frigid (15F) morning sea air. At the conclusion of our meeting, I corralled the rather eclectic group of iRobot participants for a team photo. I am not displeased with the result but feel I could have made better use of the panoramic view from our conference room for the background by shooting from a much higher angle.
