What I learned: What I forgot

For someone who likes to plan, I can’t believe I’ve been trying to run without first learning how to walk. Maybe this time around, my “extremeness” got the best of me.

But less thinking and planning: Here’s the down low. Period.

I need to start somewhere. Instead of thinking about creating huge companies and changing the world, I gotta start with the essentials. For starters, I have to be able to not worry about money. Not that money is a problem right now… but… a “job”, perhaps?

But I don’t mean about getting any job. I need to make that impact, regardless of what I do. Holding out for that perfect job isn’t too bad, as long as your belief in finding that dream job is the truth. And I believe it to be true.

In reality, what will probably happen is as time passes and needs are found, the standard of that “perfect” job changes to something not as desirable. For me, that hasn’t happened yet. I’m still in that problematic phase of thinking I can get what I want in life. I haven’t become jaded… yet.

No matter how much I want to change the world, my personal “stuff” need to be in line.

Why the heck do I post this? I could have easily just made a mental note of this.

Well, being Josh Kim, I gotta track changes.

Think of most of my personal posts as:

svn commit currentDate.txt -m "Post Text Goes Here"

(I’m sure I’m going to get some nerdy comments as to why this isn’t correct, but I’ll try to explain myself if those people show themselves…)

I don’t know why it took Michael Moore’s film “SiCKO” to help me get to this state of wanting to slow down while speeding up.

On paper, it might seem like I have no idea where I’m headed. On the contrary, this enigmatic post has helped me even more…

But, yes. Enough is enough. Time to kick some ass.

Google Reader: Double Posting?

Something’s wrong with Google reader.

It keeps saying I haven’t read the stories I’ve read, and so I have to slog through them. But the thing is, it’s only for certain feeds.

I really don’t think it’s the feeds themselves, because it’s not just one or two articles here and there… it’s like a full day’s worth of posts from sites like Kotaku and Mashable.

It’s as if Someone is pushing me to do something about this. More on this: this weekend… after things settle down a bit.

Google Reader ate my Feeds

Where the heck did my feeds go?

I was reading through all these posts on the Apple announcement (including the AAPL dip)… and then suddenly, when I logged back on, all my feeds were gone. Just… bampf. Gone.

Is this a sign? Let’s wait and see if my feeds do come back…

EDIT: Thank goodness… they’re back. That really scared me.

*Back-Ups A WEB APP*

Just as I thought: 3rd Party Apps… er… Web Apps on iPhone

When I thought about 3rd party applications for the iPhone, I didn’t think that it would require me to learn Cocoa.

I thought… why not web applications? Heck, it’s got a browser built in.

I’m happier now that Jobs has come out and said it. Although, for some, this might seem like a copout solution. However, I’m happy that things are, once again, moving towards the web.

The only thing missing is somehow using the power of the multi-touch screen… That sucker seems locked down… Maybe somehow somebody somewhere could hack that.

And here comes the feeds about today’s Stevenote… ugh.

Oh my goodness, apple.com looks more lickable…

Oh, and go download the Safari Beta. Because… my love for Firefox is dwindling… and I’m trying to kill my dependence on interface add-ons. More on that, later.

Couple of cool commentaries

I forgot Monday is…

WWDC.

I’m happy I didn’t remember. This means I’m doing something right… at least, keeping busy in the right places.

Quick, to Madison!

Oh… but wait… when’s the stevenote? Where is my Apple Store in Madison, WI?
