Naruto changed animation styles a couple episodes back for the fight scenes. I don't think I like this style, especially for Naruto fights. # Android + Nexus One + Tethering on the road FTW! Watching Hulu in my room as we speak. $12/24hrs for hotel wifi… puh-sha! # Crossing a bridge into MIT right now. [...]

My wife is performing today three times during artfest at Source Ministries. Go see it if you can, cuz she is gonna be AWESOME! # Yesterday itunes on my home PC ate my music library on my phone. Work laptop fixed it. This morning, happened again. Stupid iTunes. # 94 eastbound is closed again between [...]

Contemplating just trying to ebay for an AT&T nexus one rather than waiting for AT&T to get their sh*t together w/ android phones. # Version control is about to seriously enlighten me as to the differences of two libraries. DVCS FTW! # The fact that AT&T doesn't allow hobby devs to download their apps to [...]

Man, now I really want football season to start early. This is the problem w/ watching Bears highlight reels in July instead of Sept. # OMG! Disc one was the all-time bears D team (ending w/ Butkis at mid linebacker). Disc 2 is devoted to the 85 bears D! So EXCITED! # Watching this Bears [...]

One of the serious upsides to digital media instead of physical discs is that there aren't 'scratches' to make my bluray player skip. # This library switch (core part of my app that does the heavy lifting) has been challenging and fun. But I think I'm getting the hang of it. # Starting to remember [...]

Ran 1 mile &, took 30 sec off my last weeks time, built & installed a pullup bar, did 40 pushups, & 1/2 a wall pushup. Feeling accomplished. # And, it is LGPL to boot, which means I could close-source my project if I wanted, not sure if my personal ethos will allow that though. [...]

I just realized that I'm the last member of the braincell who doesn't have a masters degree. This makes me feel even dumber than normal. # Glad to have a break from VLI for a couple weeks. Need to recharge the sleep deficit and get some more running in. # WordPress vs. Drupal = Mac [...]

Ran a little faster today than last time, and a little farther too – that makes me happy. Think I have a good routine working here. # Thinking about trying a hackintosh inside virtualbox 2 quench my iOS4 thirst. Anyone have a OSX10.6 install/upgrade disc they could loan me? # Anyone want to install itunes [...]

The Fold was a great time – big thanks to everyone who participated! Next up – teaching prayer class, and mentoring. Busy weekend. # Just bought the Matisyahu album Light for $5 off of Amazon mp3 monthly deal – lots of great deals right now. http://tinyurl.com/34jfwhu # Just found out that version 3.83 of Panelbuilder32 [...]

Got the Ultimate Matrix set on bluray for christmas – watching the first movie now for first time in 3 or 4 yrs – AWESOME on 1080p! # http://is.gd/cttOe vs. http://is.gd/ctugI – I think I came up with this idea before the writer from engadget – that makes me a supernerd! # The lack of [...]

The thing that I'm excited about for Google TV is the idea of a standardized TV operating system, next we'll need the same thing for cars. # All this talk about ejabberd's WaveOne wave server module has me interested in trying this thing out, wondering when we are going to see it? # http://is.gd/chVbD In [...]

Good explanation of one of my favorite tech acronyms (XMPP) by the BBC http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/10113975.stm # Contemplating switching from ejabberd to openfire just to try out @onesocialweb on my home XMPP server. # Freaking Hilarious! "Contemporvent" http://vimeo.com/11501569 # Anyone in the Chicago area who is a programmer looking for work. C#, Java, SQL type stuff. I [...]

Didn't make it into Iron Man yesterday because the 10:40, and 11:20 shows were sold out – crazy! # Thanks for all the kid B-day wishes everyone. It was a great day! Now I'm looking forward to spending time w/ friends this weekend. # On Jun 15th, 2016, Google obtained sentience and renamed itself skynet. [...]
