Another Personal Update

Yes, I realize there’s been a lack of actual content with the blog.

I apologize.

Instead, you keep getting my personal ramblings. Yikes.

I’m currently working on an entry on Facebook and how it’s changing social networking in the real world, as well as a post on why I started buying books again, especially technical books.

Yahoo! Homework is going swimmingly. I’m almost set, except for a little JavaScript magic which should take about an hour, as well as going for a couple more bonus points for compatibility with multiple browsers. That’ll be most of tomorrow spent at Grainger.

Which brings me to a few things I have to finish up as I leave Grainger. Subversion demo/presentation is tomorrow at 10, and so I am completing some documentation for that.

Need coffee. Not an all-nighter, but I just need a boost.

By the way, Dave Brubeck is amazing. Someone please point me to some other good Jazz musicians… this is a new genre of music I need to continue exploring.

Oh, and beer tasting. Something tells me I’ll be… slightly inebriated tomorrow.

Let’s see… more randomness…

Grainger’s full today. All the nerds are studying for their finals. Why wasn’t I like this back in the day…

Oh one last thing I’ve realized… I cannot get work done at my apartment here on campus. One thing, my apartment is not very inviting for work, because of the horrible desk height/chair combo (as well as the lighting). I’m going to have to revisit some ergonomic issues later, but… looks like it doesn’t really matter much anymore. I’m really amazed that I got any work done in the past 4 months there… wow.

A larger issue is that… I have a feeling I really do have to get out from where I sleep to get work done. Be it the kitchen table… or even a separate office room. This is all, of course, planning for the days of the start-up.

Look at the time, back to work!

Posts that Didn’t Quite Make It

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?

In the Year 2000...

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
