goddamn. haha. development and TV

so i sit in front of my TV and listen to music or watch old movies while i code. It is probably killer on my back and such - but it makes coding a lot less lonely and i get a lot done. But tonight it was really bad. My airport express was being a [...]

so busy. but almost done.

check it out. the first step: yeknom industries. w00t. you will have to wait until later to see what comes next. being so busy I have barely had enough time to notice the insanely smart people who “hang” on the internet. basically I mean.. google employees. heh. for some starters - Chris Wetherell seems to be quite…

i suppose i will continue

on where I left off just a second ago. so anyawy. this weekend was a lot of fun. I did a little bit of christmas shopping - got soem gift0rs for my peeps and my family. stupid money. why is all this shit so expensive. I would elaborate - but that might give away some of the oh so secret secrets I have. and their are many. so many it hurts inside. this weekend I did a lot of ran…

I will take a picture. matiss got a cell phone. haha. ;) i rode my bike a bunch yesterday. apparently around 15 miles.

when dinosaurs attack

so this day has been weird already and it is barely 9:30. first last night I got home from juggling club and was notified that my paypal account was terminated due to 3gscreensaver having porn on it. I actually don’t know if that was the reason they just sent me a terse email with this link. so I am…

gmail

so I got a gmail account. it is pretty dope. a completely different way to use email. it is kinda crazy. I don’t like that you cannot import your old mail. and that you don’t have folders. but the tagging and such really revolutionizes email. it is pretty nuts. I want to give invites to some friends though. so I guess I am gunna have to wait. stupid google and its fancy way of doing things.
