  • http://tinyurl.com/2onu8s Wow, Macheist just broke the $300K mark…damn impressive. #
  • @k1v1n : Tumblr is quite tempting as well. #
  • Each and every time I read Freud it reaffirms my belief that everything he wrote was complete bullshit. #
  • feeling really tired, and stomach is quite gross. thinking about bed soon. #
  • February 20th will culminate 4 years of blogging. That is kinda crazy to think about. #
  • http://tinyurl.com/2sqznz 7’7" Kenny George…doesn’t even need to jump to dunk. crazy. #
  • Philosophy homework was not nearly as bad as I expected. What a nice surprise. Time for bed. #
  • Woohoo! class cancelled. #
  • http://tinyurl.com/yqtj9v Windows 7 details about Milestone 1 build begin to leak out #

  • Netvibe Ginger’s "mark as favorite" is handy for collecting "read this later" links. Private = later, public = share. #

  • good start for the G men. It’s interesting to see the effect of the cold tonight. #
  • it’s funny trying to clean up code that was written 10 years ago …and by fun I mean, not. #
  • @billpalmer how many ways can they say "it’s cold"…I agree kinda gets annoying. #
  • typical Eli… he really needs to work on avoiding the sack. #
  • They need Plaxico to play out of his mind for them to have a chance in this second half. #
  • stupid penalties will always kill you. #
  • Bradshaw will carry this team in the 4th quarter. Here we go Giants, here we go! *clap, clap* #
  • this will be one hell of an ending…wow. #
  • fingers crossed…let’s go #
  • yup, he’s fired. #
  • funny thing is that the winner will get crushed by the Pats anyways… #
  • omg!! Int… #
  • did that just happen??? Redemption! #
  • holy shit! … no joke, before the game I said to my father "Giants win by 3" … #
  • I really hope Farve doesn’t decide to go out like that. He deserves better than that. #
  • @JasonCalacanis I called this a week ago http://snurl.com/1xvvb …hopefully I am wrong about the outcome though 🙂 #
  • @steverubel They would have been much happier with Pats vs Packers … Perfection vs. Farve. That would have been huge. #
  • hah…who could have predicted our Giants would be the NFC champions…wow 🙂 #
  • "The Giants became the first NFC team ever to win three road games and advance to the Super Bowl" …very cool! #
  • How cool would it be if Eli can win his first Super Bowl (in only his 4th season). It took Peyton 9 seasons.. #
  • http://snurl.com/1xvwk President Bush trying to pardon himself from potential warcrimes…this is absolutely disgusting. #
  • http://snurl.com/1xvwp Obama won more delegates than Hillary did in Nevada. He currently leads her in total number of delegates. #

  • another very cold day …10, feels like -4 #
  • class, lunch with the girls, class #

  • http://snurl.com/1xxu9 how to determine if you should say "oh snap!"… #

  • The Fisher King is on…I wish I could watch that instead of doing homework… #
  • rediscovering my collection of Rage Against the Machine. #
  • http://snurl.com/1xy4y Sync your Zune using iTunes or WMP …finally! #

Things to do when this semester is finally over.

I have all kinds of things I SHOULD do, but I think we all know that none of them will happen while the semester is in session. So, I present my list of “things to do” once this semester has ended:

  • Reinstall Windows Home Server (WHS). I still have the RC2 installed (which has long since expired).
  • Read “Head First SQL”. I purchased this over Christmas break, and then promptly never read it. Need to fix that.
  • Read “A History of God”. Again, I purchased this over Christmas break, and now I just need to read it.
  • Read “The Hobbit or There and Back Again”. I’ve had this book for YEARS, but I never got around to reading it. This Summer I will.
  • Have some type of relaxing vacation. I am not sure how financially feasible this one will be, we’ll see.
  • Decide if I will keep my web hosting. This has been on my mind for a while now. I pay for web space for no particular reason as this point. I could use one of the plethora of free hosted blogging platform (like Vox). All of my images are hosted on Flickr, and I use Twitter so much at this point that it’s a borderline addiction. We’ll see.

  • buying what will hopefully be the last thumb drive I’ll need for many many years *fingers crossed* #

  • Juno is a fabulous movie, highly recommended. #
  • I like those highlighters that have the little sticky notes built in…very handy. Yes, simple things amuse me. #

  • anyone know a good WinMobile app for backing up txt messages? #
  • you still know how to hurt me like no other. #
  • getting ready for some football…go Giants! #
  • anyone need a license for AppZapper? DM me ASAP if you’re interested (yes, for free) #
  • I hate when applications decide they have the right to FORCE me to restart my computer …um, no!? I’ll restart when I feel like it. #
  • hot chocolate and football…pretty good combination. #
  • go Pats and go Giants!! #
  • @JasonCalacanis use fumbleview.com 🙂 #
  • You can’t possibly beat the Patriots by only scoring field goals. #
  • I like Bret Farve a great deal, but I really really hope the Giants can pull this off. #

  • had an hour long conversation I didn’t intent on having… now to begin some homework. #
  • Seeing Cloverfield… #

  • Cloverfield was really not very good. uninspired, uninteresting, and unoriginal. #
  • wow, Clinton just flew past Obama in Nevada…well crap. #
  • my calendar is looks kinda cool when with all the different colors …yes, I am easily amused. #
  • reading about Freud so I can more intelligently explain why he is/was an asshat. #

  • A co-work of my mother said she’d consider killing her husband if it meant she could have Chris Botti. #
  • @Matthom yeah sorry delayed. your iPhone 3rd party apps are toast right? I would have waited for the SDK to drop. I am waiting with my Touch #

  • Dear Microsoft, in Entourage 2008…I’d like to SUBSCRIBE to an iCal, not just download it once. Grr, this is not a difficult thing! #
  • @Rafe Mac users tend to be more fanatical about their choice of computer. They are the most pushy of any hardware group that I’ve "met". #
  • I met a lady at work today who’s name is "Princess Morgan" …I kid you not. Her first name is Princess. evil evil parents she has. #
  • @k1v1n I assume you saw the movie? It was pretty good, I thought. #
  • I JUST figured out how to @ people with Twitterific …wow, that’s unintuitive. #
  • @k1v1n certainly worth the watch. I think "older" people will definitely get more out of it then us darned "kids". #
  • The Red Sox season opener will be at 6:07AM EST because it’s in Japan…are you kidding me? ain’t that precious… #

  • having a very odd discussion about women’s underwear. #

  • well crap, can’t drop the class I thought I could…and I didn’t do the homework for today. #
  • Thank god it’s Friday, indeed. I’m way more tired than I should be. #
  • Lunch with a potential new prof…nice guy. Hopefully they’ll actually hire him. #
  • home after what felt like a very long day, even though it wasn’t all that long in reality…perception is what really matters though, right? #
  • testing a "top secret" mouse, and they decided to get rid of the middle click….really? that’s a very stupid decision. #
  • Thinking about buy a IronKey hardware-encrypted flash drive…it sucks to lose your portable apps these days. #
  • thinkin about dinner #

  • finishing this chapter, and then thinking about bed time. #
  • headed off to class…hopefully with coffee in hand. #
  • my personality class requires us to meet for 1 hour outside of class each week…not cool. #

  • http://pepsistuff.pepsiusa.com/ …the contest isn’t live, and yet the bottles of Pepsi give me a code? um? #
  • Gmail with the new Better Gmail extension is great. The "highlight current line" is very handy. #
  • installing Microsoft Mac Office 2008 …quite nice. #
  • writing use cases, working on documentation — in general stuff that is not sexy. #

  • @Matthom so you don’t like your 3rd party apps I assume? #
  • http://snurl.com/1xiuv "Why Apple’s new laptop is basically useless" …I’d have to agree with everything that he points out. #
  • http://snurl.com/1xiv0 new iPod Touch will include the 5 apps for free, but current owners get absolutely screwed …typical Apple. Such BS #
  • My dream for the future: a day when I can get iTunes without Quicktime (hate this application with a passion). #
  • I am fabulous at procrastinating…some things never change. #
  • nothing like a little <sarcasm>uplifting</sarcasm> Tolstoy on a Tuesday night…talk about depressing, yeesh! #
  • http://beta.vooeasy.com/ …ironic that it’s called "VooEASY" when the website is so damned hard to navigate. not even worth bookmarking… #
  • it’s amazing what one will come up with when they are trying to avoid doing math #
  • Dark room + comfy chairs + watching a movie for my first class. Certainly not an effective way to wake up. #
  • gotta love when professors apparently have not joined the age of email…kinda makes communication a bit more difficult. #
  • Totally going to see Cloverfield this weekend…the reviews are quite positive. #
  • http://www.bureauofcommunication.com/ it’s like the Madlibs of the old days …funny/useful site. #

  • kinda bored in this class…is it 9:30 yet? #
  • every time Steve Jobs talks I just want to smack that smug arrogant douche bag smile right off of his face. I think we’ll see it tomorrow. #
  • http://snurl.com/1xh0r " The United Nations, Encapsulated" …hilarious. #
  • Hit the car in front of me or hit the curb. I picked the curb…now I have a massive flat tire. Fabulous. #
  • Apparently 3 other people got in an accident right after me, in the exact same place. What are the odds? #
  • I take that back, it probably isn’t chance. It’s probably because that intersection is a solid sheet of ice. #
  • anyone know a Twitter app that can be forced to use https instead of the normal http? #
  • my tricept shouldn’t be this sore after 3 days, perhaps I strained it much worse than I thought. #
  • not bothering to follow the keynote…engadget is dead, twitter is dead, gizmodo is dead. #
  • Apple’s HD movie rentals aren’t a great deal. I rent on demand for $4 right now. #
  • The Macbook Air’s SSD drive adds $1,000 to the price …um, no thanks. The standard HDD is only 4200 RPM …that sucks. no thanks. #
  • Twitter just swallowed my post. You can’t increase the RAM in the Macbook Air either, 2GB max …that’s annoying. #
  • waiting for the v1.1.3 firmware to get cracked/hacked/jailbroken. v1.1.1 is working just fine for me thankyouverymuch. #
  • @fraying except for the slow 4,200 RPM standard HDD, and the 2GB limit on RAM (maybe we can add more after the fact). #
  • my package from Newegg just went from TN to NY to MD to NY …um? #
  • @Aubs I think "dude" has become gender neutral, but I could be wrong. #
  • the Macbook Air… sexy? sure, practical? no way. Get 6 eee PC’s for the same price #

  • I heart people watching…it’s so amusing/unproductive #
  • Literally 2/3 of the class is txting right now…pretty funny/sad. And, they are all freshman…ugh. #
  • sometimes I really wonder why I even talk to people…they clearly don’t bother to listen to me. #
  • sometimes I am too smart for my own good…I outwit myself. not good. #
