crazy

I don't mind people talking on their mobile phones on the bus. I don't mind people talking on mobile phones at the store.

I don't mind people talking to themselves. I do it sometimes myself. However, I'm not going to get used to people staring straight ahead and having intense conversations without talking on mobile phones. I'm talking about people wearing the bluetooth headsets. It's just weird.

They just seem crazy.

kicking butt with Jackie Chan!

So I've been drinking this crazy Jackie Chan tea powder mixture thing at work. It's a total pick-me-up. I don't know what kind of crazy stuff they put it in but I'm sold. Jackie Chan wouldn't put his name on an energy drink which does not work... Plus it's got hella polyphenols. http://www.teatech.com/

I've been learning some japanese, courtesy of http://www.japanesepod101.com/ - it's a nice podcast. Hopefully I'll be able to say "I don't want mayonnaise on that, please" by the time I leave for japan - April 22nd, I think.

nerdy googles

I'm in the process of signing up for a replacement to my mail server, in the form of Google Apps.

I like the example for business name is:

Organization name (e.g., FrobozzCo or Tyrell Corporation)

I had to look up the first name - I haven't heard of it. It's from Zork. The text-based adventure game from Infocom from 1981.

The second, of course, is the Tyrell Corporation from Blade Runner.

Nice touch.

spring training

I'm glad that it's spring training time again. I was listening to the baseball game earlier today when Dave Neihaus announced a pitching change:

"...it looks like the Cubs are bringing in Rocky Cherry. Who's Rocky Cherry? He's Mr & Mrs Cherry's son, of course, and I'm going to have to find the Chicago Cubs player book to find out more."

ah, spring training.

exploding dog rocks

I love this picture - it's from Sam Brown of explodingdog.com. I totally stole greg's idea to use the moon monsters set as a screen saver.. In any case,



Go check out the website, it's great.
