For those people that still use Xanga… I’ve found Croissanga. This is only a test.
And for facebook people… I might have to enable truncated posts… I don’t like facebook keeping all of my posts.

Time to start saving.
This device… is almost exactly what I’ve been dreaming about since the first day I had a phone. I was never happy with the phones I’ve had. They’ve always the user interface I was looking for. Even my newest phone, the d807… I was happy with the slider functionality, but the headset volume is quite low. The camera is 1.3 MP, but I keep getting blurry pictures… And man… don’t get me started with music. I always wondered when the heck we would get something that brought together listening to music, watching clips, making calls, sending emails, using the Internet, chatting online, taking pictures… blah blah blah. A do-it-all gadget.
I’ve bought all sorts of gadgets to try and have this happen. I tried to make my iPod into a PDA… I’ve tried making a PDA (my first compaq, then the iPaq, then the Toshiba…) into a music player… I’ve tried making my first MP3 player (what was it called… it used Iomega’s Clik 40 MB disks…) into something more than something that plays music.
And I’ve failed at every step of the way. This is because I’ve only know how to deal with the software that I could mess around with. I could try and hack it… but man, if only there was the hardware to do what I wanted to do.
Then Apple shows up in my life… and now… the iPhone.
Wi-Fi. Bluetooth 2.0. Freaking mini-OS X running on the thing. Not to mention… an extremely improved user interface to deal with phone calls and voice mails. Oh, and a 2 MP camera… and I’m sure it’s built solid. And all the prettiness… three extra sensors to make everyone happy.
I can’t believe it.
It happened.
I must get one.
I love you, Apple.
I think I had about 20 different people on my rss feeds chiming about what their predictions were going to be.
I quickly deleted all of them.
Now I wait… for the next 12 minutes… to see what the heck will go down.
Realizing more and more how much I lack… but realizing how much more there is to gain.
Started the work week definitely strong. I don’t know how, but I got up 20 minutes before my alarm hit. It was an angry 20 minutes of sleep, but I guess it helped a bit.
From 7:30 to 3, I worked straight through, without a lunch break. Afterwards… wow… I definitely was tired. I caught up on some XMan (Korean Variety Show), and headed for WIMPE. All this week, Dan Sun and I will be doing some much needed cardio. I definitely missed out on that while Dean was here…
Derek, why don’t you return my facebook posts? Boo! I’m going to call this one after work tomorrow to see if he wants to hang out… oh wait, after WIMPE.
I wonder if I should go into work tomorrow or Wednesday. I feel very tired… I didn’t get my 20 minutes of happiness.
Ah, and so now we’re into the meat of the post.
As I dropped off Dan with his groceries, I stopped by Gil’s apartment. Gil was a roommate I had my senior year… it was a pleasure of having this older brother still on campus… And this is when I realized my lesson of the day: It’s not about crying about what you don’t have, or just making do with what you do have. It’s about being so utterly thankful for EVERYTHING, in lack of or in abundance of ANYTHING… It can’t be one extreme or another. You can’t just be down on yourself for what you don’t have… but also you can’t be satisfied with just what you do have, and never reach out farther than you’re used to. Okay, in that last sentence, I mistyped “your”. Oh holy crap I’m getting tired.
Right, so let’s keep going with the brain on autopilot and run through a couple of things.
Backs and shoulders day cannot go after biceps and forearms. There must be something in between. Legs should be the fourth day in the regimen, and could be used as a break in between these two. Tomorrow starts up triceps and chest… Maybe the new schedule should be…
Chest/Triceps, Biceps/Forearms, Legs/More Abs Than Normal/Rest, Backs/Shoulders. For each day, have abs and cardio. Alternate between distance running (either on elliptical or track) and short distance (1 mile) per day.
Hooray for lifting gloves. Not only was WIMPE $130, but the gloves $10. More reason to go lifting… use that inner stingy Asian man!
And… I have nothing to report for today. Man… I need to get some time to myself and start writing some technical stuff.
Oh, and, MacWorld is tomorrow. It’s gotta be iPhone and iTV, but less so the iTV. Meh.
Might as well continue with the list.
I’m falling behind on the Bible reading. Gotta catch up slowly but surely.
Starting up back again for foreign languages. Daily… just like the Word.
Oh freaking rails… how much more I want to learn you.
If you’ve read this until now… wow, I feel loved. But really, you didn’t have to do that…
