Busy Bodies
Wow. What a week.
Went home for family thursday morning red-eye. Spent Thursday to Sunday in Ohio. Get back in to the office Monday and, surprise, I’m going to San Diego for work. I’m the one-man-show on the ground. One day, maximum productivity. 6AM fly to San Diego, work full-speed with a team of programmers and HCI people. After one delayed flight that evening, arrive home. Sleep...
Team Fortress 2 is Taking Over My Life
and it hasn’t even been released yet.
I’ve been reading forums, watching videos, researching how to run a server, playing TFC and HL2. I am psyched for TF2!
The back story is: Team Fortress was a mod for Quake (yeah, the original quake) in 1996. Around this time I was just getting angry enough with playing Descent online. I think my joystick broke or something. Anyway, I got Quake...
Party Machines
Apple sold 1 million iPhones and I’ve heard they are looking to buy spectrum. Apple party. We are party machines.
Sony’s Rolly looks like one of us. It’s actually an MP3 player that dances and lights up to the music. If it could drunk dial it would be complete.
Work is busy. Don’t ask me for more than wonderful youtube links.

iPhone Celibacy
I’m waiting. I hope you can understand, it’s nothing against you. I think you’re great! Every time I see you, I want to touch you as if you were my own, but I have to wait.
You’re a really great device, but, you’re missing some things. I’m willing to work around that. We can work around that when the time is right. It’s just, your parents are asking for...
I want to believe
Renting is cheaper.
Please, please tell me this is true. Because, look, I invest in the stock market. I am working on a RETIREMENT PLAN. And honestly, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to afford a 500k condo. If I can’t actually create a working retirement plan while living where the best work in my industry resides, then… what the hell is everyone else doing here? Am I...
Palm Folds Foleo
I just read that Palm has closed the idea of Palm Foleo. I don’t know the entire story around this device but it seemed to be filling a particularly empty void in the mobile market. I guess I just couldn’t see myself using this with my phone instead of wi-fi. Why not just release an ultra-slim sub-$200 device with a full qwerty that connects to wifi and can do the basics? Why not a...
For the love of labor
I hope everyone had a great labor day. Gotta show the man who’s boss, right? TAKE THAT, insatiable machine! Me personally, I love to work.
I spent my weekend hanging with friends and working on World of Warcraft. That game never gets old and is slowly capturing the few friends of mine who have held off the onslaught. I’m starting a new character with my friend and this time around,...
