So here’s a picture of me holding my breath underwater.
Choochie Face
Ok, based on some emails and comments, it seems I might have to explain the inscription on the pink iPod. The pet names are from a scene in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (a Disney film, not some odd smut film the title might suggest). The song is cute, and we call each other by the names. The murderous tendencies, however, are in the movie version only. 😀
Hitchhiker’s Boxset
It was $22, and I’ve never read them all. I think it’s about time, and at like 65% off, how could I not buy it?!?!
Pink
We just bought a new iPod nano for Donna, because she’s going to need the video playing ability this summer. It’s a really cute black 8GB model, and she likes it. That, however, isn’t what this post is about. See, Donna already had an iPod. It’s a pink 4GB nano, and since she has a new one, I get to use it for listening to audio books. Yay!
I figure Cory will appreciate it’s color, and I’m secure enough in my manhood to use it as well. Plus, even though the message was originally from me, it still reminds me of the girl I had it inscribed for. 😀
Funny Video Faces
There’s a few interesting moments in my last video. It turns out, I’m a dork. Who knew!
Wubi… What a Fun Word
Another 2 weeks went by, and you probably didn’t even miss the Gadget Guy video, but it’s that time of the every other week again. This time, I look at Wubi. It’s so fun to say. Woooobi doobie doo…
Oh, and what do you think of the widescreen instead of standard 4×3? Also, we’re using blip.tv now, which has much nicer video quality… Do you agree?
Vacation Day
Vacation day. Weeeee!!!!!!
The iPhone Gets Its Own Photo Sharing Site
This company is run by friends from Houston — and it’s actually a very useful, simple photo sharing site. iPhone isn’t required. 🙂
Natuba is a new photo sharing site that targets iPhone users with an emphasis on mobile uploading.
Should Linux Standardize on a Single Distro?
Another immigrant article from the Linux Journal site — but again, I think this is worth discussion if you’re a Linux person. If you’re looking for discussion, I’d go either to the Linux Journal site to comment, or to the Digg link. Happy Monday!
When I demonstrate software for Linux Journal, I tend to use Ubuntu as my operating system. The reason is simply because Ubuntu is extremely popular, but it begs the question, should the Linux community standardize on a single distribution?
Lack of Organiza…LOOK A PONY!
You know those people that live and die by their paper planner? When they lose it, life almost ceases to go on, and they run in circles like a bee with a pollen allergy?
I’m not one of those people.
You know those people that have a crackberry/palm pilot/iPhone strapped to their side, and if their batteries die, they do too?
I’m not one of those people either.
As it turns out, I’ve been trying to get organized for close to a decade now. For some reason, I can never quite get it when it comes to scheduling things. It’d be nice to claim I’m too creative for schedules, but not only would it be a lie — it would also just be a nice artsy fartsy excuse for my failure. I don’t want to be one of those people.
Now that I have 2 awesome jobs, scheduling is critical. You see, I also have an awesome family that deserves my time. (What did they do to deserve that you ask? Well, they fed me, now they’re stuck with me) My current attempt at organization is Google Calendar:
The advantage is that I can access it from any computer, and “syncing” is not required. I’ve tried the syncing game, and it always burns me. When I get a phone next month with a data plan, I should be able to access my calendar anywhere. This pleases me…
How do you stay organized?
