I guess through Time Warner Cable, it’s about the same price, so it’s not that bad. But that doesn’t mean this is all good with me, either. I expected this to be cheaper…
But maybe possibly the media is in HD? Pretty please?

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?
I feel like it’s all been a dream in the past three days. Visiting the Yahoo! campus… Just driving past Apple campus… Having a trip to San Jose completely paid for…
I’ve been told I look a little tanned. I’m uncertain how this could be, since I spent most of the day… in the tiniest room on the 2nd floor of building G, “.eu”. For some reason, all the conference rooms on that floor is named after TLDs (1st floor rooms looked like they were named after “I Love Lucy” characters).
Between you and me, dear reader, I don’t think most people who know me personally read this blog. My my, what a world they’re missing…
I hope to post the “post-interview with Yahoo!” tonight… but it might be tomorrow. Hence, this little stub of an entry will have to do for tonight.
Apple released a statement on the 12th (and in a few weeks, this is going to be the wrong link), with my commentary, as much as I can remember having on that day:
iPhone has already passed several of its required certification tests and is on schedule to ship in late June as planned. We can’t wait until customers get their hands (and fingers) on it and experience what a revolutionary and magical product it is.
Yes, Mr. Jobs. We want to give you money! We knew June. Of course, a nice rebate would be good.
[Sidenote: By the way, I'm most likely not going to get one. Why? Two reasons: Programmability and Power.]
However,
I don’t likes the looks of thissss.
iPhone contains the most sophisticated software ever shipped on a mobile device, and finishing it on time has not come without a price — we had to borrow some key software engineering and QA resources from our Mac OS X team, and as a result we will not be able to release Leopard at our Worldwide Developers Conference in early June as planned.
“We screwed up. But you still love us, right?”
Of course, Mr. Jobs. We love you. Here, have some more money. When’s Leopard coming out so I know to save up my $150?
While Leopard’s features will be complete by then, we cannot deliver the quality release that we and our customers expect from us. We now plan to show our developers a near final version of Leopard at the conference, give them a beta copy to take home so they can do their final testing, and ship Leopard in October.
October? Wasn’t the original date Spring 2007? What, is Apple pulling a Vista?
We think it will be well worth the wait. Life often presents tradeoffs, and in this case we’re sure we’ve made the right ones. [Apr 12, 2007]
But of course, had I known this announcement would be made the day after I started my IRA Roth… if I knew about Leopard missing the already pushed back deadline… if I knew the market would look like this for the week to follow:
Blah.
This post made by an ex-Apple employee definitely sums up the possible reason as to why… things are becoming shaky, just a tiny bit.
Here’s a quick list of posts that just didn’t make the cut in the past couple of days. It’ll be quick and painless. Skim, please.
Zooom: Increase Window Functionality in Mac OS X
Zooom: Window Stuff, “Done Right” Try it out. I think I might be purchasing this soon.
CommunityNext: Threadless.com Presentation
Yet another video I won’t be able to watch until after lent… this list is getting longer really fast.
Sitting Apparatus: Ergonomic?
I purchased this ball in hopes to alleviate some of the back issues I’ve been having. (On second thought… it might be because of the messed up way I lift, but I’m still trying to figure this out…) That, and the table (pictured) was designed for tall(er) people: That keyboard drawer was most likely designed for a footrest, or something like that. Even with this 65 cm ball, my arms are not resting at my side as they should be.
And if all fails, I could just use it as an exercise tool at home. Hooray!
(Yeah, I know… exercise balls are kinda feminine, no?)
Future of MP3?
Seriously… patent law reform, anybody?
Apple, Samsung, Sandisk sued by Texas MP3 Technologies
Microsoft sued by Alcatel-Lucent for $1.5 billion
Current Status: Awake
It’s late. Like… freshman-year-coding-insanity late… I just ended up cleaning my bathroom for the strangest reason (at least I’ll wake up to a beautiful bathroom tomorrow morning).
Not sure why, but my schedule is off. It’s like… there is no consistency at all. While there is a consistency to what I have to get DONE in a day, the order is just all out of whack. Not sure if this is a bad thing, but it’s not making ultra-planned Josh Kim not a happy man. Maybe super-chill Josh Kim will take over, instead.
I haven’t had one of those long-drawn out personal posts in a while… and while I feel like I have one in me, I’m going to keep avoiding it like the plague. One of these days, though… it’ll just leak out, and I won’t have any control of it.
Oh, right. A new goal: For every personal post, I MUST post a web/technology related post before it. It’s not like I’m running out of web/tech posts, so I won’t be having a problem posting personal stuff.
Okay, here it comes… the brain dump.
Today was insane. I got up, only to realize I didn’t leave my dryer on as I should have. Got into work a little bit later. Skipped lunch. Went to ISR to finish up work. Met up with Mike Cho for the studying/working. Met up with small group for Bible reading. Went to WIMPE until close.
I have a feeling tomorrow is going to be just as insane. Hopefully, this time, I’ll pack a lunch.
State of my heart? HAHA. You’ll be needing to pay for a meal for that one… and a coffee afterwards… to just START talking about this one. Hopefully, I’ll be getting around to the continuation of those entries…
