A very interesting courtesy shuttle driver explains why the weather in Maryland is whacky and why cars aren’t electric.
Thursday morning 8:40AM. At a local tire and battery shop, I dropped off my Super Hot Fiancee (TM)’s car for new tires. I wasn’t feeling well, it was cold, and I needed to get to work so I asked if they had a courtesy shuttle to take me there.
“I need the van up front” the desk attendant said over the PA. I went outside and waited for the van.
the new Milk site at WhyMilk.com site has a new game, GotGame?. It’s a basketball shootout simulation programmed by moi using Shockwave3D. Big thanks to Dugan and Casey for graphic design/3d design, respectively.
Besides not getting paid because the economy sucks and getting the center console of your Jeep ripped out for a $100 stereo and a myriad of other issues, summer seems to have one thing going for it. The Slurp and Gulp at 7-11 looks like a soda with a brain. Lots of liquid…Lots and lots of liquid.
p class=‘bodyText’>After watching Steve Jobs’ keynote speech at Macworld, many Mac media Web sites decided that they were “underwhelmed” by what they saw. “everything we saw, we’ve seen before, months ago at the first Jaguar preview” one said about the new Mac OS as their less than objective reviews downplayed Apple’s announcements. Apple is continuing to innovate in ways that the tech elite takes for granted.
Wanton emotional memories like “we remember the days when the Mac was a platform, not just the product of a single company” just make no sense in today’s economy. It’s a computer, maybe a lifestyle, but it’s not an Orthodox religion. The changes in Apple’s strategy aren’t personally directed at anyone. They’re just trying to make money while pushing new ideas of computing and laying the groundwork for the future of computer experiences.
Short Story–On Sunday, I swam the Dodge Great Chesapeake Bay Swim. It was 4.4 miles of rough, choppy water underneath the Bay Bridge in Annapolis. My time was 2hr56min, which was about 4 minutes faster than my goal time. I was 549 out of 581…doesn’t sound that good except we started with around 650…70 some people dropped out. The winner of the whole thing was something like 1hr 25 minutes…he swam 19 minute miles…whew doggy.
Moby is one of the coolest musicians around.
This article talks about why he’s popular, his embracement of commercialism and a little about his g3 and g4 studio.
Interesting Article on interactive art.
This is my first Weblog Post (blog from here on out). Hopefully, I’ll be able to come up with some good resources for wireless web and Flash and endurance swimming…maybe even some Mac stuff. That reminds me, I have to add a catgory for Mac.
Did you know that it only costs $1.17 to mail a CD? That’s so cheap.
