I could cook an egg on my current MBP. It feels that hot. I can’t wait for my new one. Supposed to arrive Wednesday.

very interesting. i know of a few companies who are entering this space.
edit: i meant to note that partnering with 1 of the top 5 isp’s is critical. the top 5 account for something like 90-95% of internet users (i think don’t quote me on this).
Late Afternoon Project
We’re about to start a great project. I’ll try and post some pics along the way.
I wish there was an indoor driving range around here. I can’t wait to play golf again.

Naming This Blog
When I write about different ideas or concepts, I sometimes comment on my own writing using (). These comments are even scattered throughout this blog. I do this because I sometimes have incomplete thoughts, general feelings on the subject, or its something that I need to revisit at a later time. When you’re writing code you can denote comments with //.
I’m thinking about naming this...

Time Flies
I just realized that I have 3 midterms on March 12th, and one on the 13th. The 12th is going to be a miserable day. Fortunately spring break is the following week. Two short months away from graduation!
Our internet is down, ugh.

Interesting Position
I found myself in the following position yesterday:
I am curious if it is correct to double in this spot. Establishing the 4th point as an anchor is crucial. I did not double but went on to win the game:

Backgammon
I was finally able to play a bit of backgammon today. Although I don’t play for money I’ve been fortunate to find good players. I took screenshots of some really interesting positions that I’d like to post and discuss.
Adobe AIR
I’ve been playing around with Adobe AIR, and I am pretty excited about it. I’d like to see more of the web move onto my desktop. FeedDemon is one of my most used applications and I’d like to see this trend continue.

Twitter
For the past week I have been thinking about the NY Times piece on Twitter. I hope they revisit it next year. I bet younger users will dwarf its current user base.
We are a generation of text. We text message instead of call. We constantly instant message. I think I’m more likely to instant message my roommates rather than speak when we are in the same room. A large part of our conversation...
A Case of the Wrong Email Address
Dear jstein at gmail dot com (im guessing…),
My personal email address is jSstein at gmail dot com. For the past year I have been receiving emails from UNC about your work schedule (you work at the basketball arena). Each time, I politely respond saying that they have the wrong email address, yet they choose to ignore me.

Lately, I’ve been listening to Citizen Cope....
