- Photo Album - ramble - sophomore year - body cleansing
I don't have anything specific I would like to get into right now. There has been a conversation I would like to have via a blog post regarding my thoughts and observations on what the first half of my life was like without the internet and what the second half has been with it, but now still isn't the time for all of that.
A nice little ramble would be nice right about now.
I'm currently uploading 67 pictures in a folder titled "5-00_College_Sophomore_Year". These pictures are a sub set of the massive number of pictures I received back from being scanned a few months ago. I briefly browsed through them for editorial reasons and am happy to report that the entire album will be posted. Unlike the majority of pictures that I sent away to be scanned, these pictures were housed in a scrapbook prior to me rubber banding them up and mailing them out. Looking back at the scrapbooks that I've made throughout the years, it is apparent that collecting meaningful groups of photos for preservation and display has always been a hobby of mine, without doubt the internet has made this more efficient and worthwhile. The fact that every picture passed a quick editorial glance does not mean that I do not look like a complete fool in well over half of the pictures.
If you did not realize by now, I will point out the pink elephant sitting in the room. This album is the first album I've uploaded from the year 2000! In addition to being the first album from the first year of the 21st century, it will also be the first album to test whether or not a Y2K bug is present in the PHP code that parses each album folders name for date and title information. I sit here a few years since I've written that code and all I can do is hope that the reason I used two year digits in the folder naming conventions opposed to four is due to me making an educated guess that I will not be posting any pictures from the year 2100, rather than me not taking into account this likely album year scenario. I semi remember having to fix a similar something a while back(too tired to read through blog right now to see) but I don't remember the specifics. We will keep our fingers wrong, if it breaks the parser than I will fix it and post a blog update.
As if my long list of disgustingly dorky blog posts was not enough for you to be mad at me, you should see me at this exact moment. I am sitting here at my desk, typing my blog post, and sipping a cup of tea. I feel like a cozy tool. UGGG. Not that there is anything wrong with any of the aforementioned things, but sometimes I have to just have to ask myself "what am I doing". I don't know, I just associate drinking tea before bed as being super sophisticated. Like, people that do this wear a different pair of pants every day to work and wash their sheets once a week. I had a turkey Hungry-Man TV dinner thing for supper and then some tater tots for dessert , I can't go and try to make that alright with one cup of delicious tea. The only argument I can present in my defense in this case of seemingly confused self identity is the fact that the tea I currently am elegantly sipping on is an item that I received as part of a 60 day set that is meant to be a routine to clean the body of the type of toxins that can build up from every day life. I bought this kit a few months ago after multiple discussions during lunch breaks with a prior co worker. We talked a little bit about all the guck from food and drinks that probably builds up in your body over years and that it would probably be a good idea to try to get it out. So this big box with at least 6 different sets of pills and shakes and tea arrives a few months ago, I open it up and take a look at everything and realize that this routine is more like a horrible relationship that requires all of your time and effort than a health fad, so I put it all back in the box and put that in the closet. Fast forward to about a week or two ago... I find myself in the store buying a scale so I can monitor interesting facts such as my current and historical weight (historical since the inception of the scale into my life. While the cause of my random curiosity and interest with my basic vital statistics still remains unknown, I can say with complete certainty that for a span of about 3 months prior to December I was on a very unhealthy food kick and the results of such a barrage of unhealthiness did leave me wondering what kind of effects it had taken. Along with all of this, I had a sudden urge to not eat any more unhealthy food. I've still gone to Taco Bell, Chinese buffet, and had meals like what I had tonight; but overall I would have to save that the amount of unhealthy food I consume on a daily basis has dropped approximately 75%. This dietary change was inevitable, as I ate unhealthy pretty carefree knowing I could get away with it only for a small period of time. All the details regarding the exciting subs and cereals I have been enjoying is even more boring that what I've already said, but this was all worth it to explain why I was drinking this cup of tea. As anyone could guess, the modifications I made to my eating habits opened the perfect window for me to also add in the body cleaning kits. And here we are now, me telling you a whole bunch about nothing exciting.
I'm incredibly tired and can't wait for bed.
From the clean inside, out, good night.

my syncless life

- ramble
Everything I look at on a computer seems to be a little out of sync, and it bothers me. Why doesn't my Gmail address book seamlessly sync with my Mac address book? Why don't either seamlessly sync with most cell phones? Why don't my Safari bookmarks sync with my Firefox ones? Why can't I sync my Xbox 360 with iTunes? I don't want 3rd party apps or hacks, I want a checkbox under preferences.
It's competition which has evolved into greed, or possibly the other way around; regardless, it is super annoying.
There is hope. Microsoft might buy Yahoo, then everything will be in sync. What a nightmare that merger would be.
All the companies want to give us that one special feature or service. It may cost something or it may be free. It will start off as something we look at as a luxury, but one day when we least expect it, we will see that is has grown into a necessity. Like a cell phone number, an email address, or a screen name. Then we will be stuck, you might as well tattoo that companies name on your elbow.
The good news you ask? Well that's simple; anytime you can complain or even notice such nuisances then things can't be going that bad. I will continue to dredge through my syncless life, always keeping the dream of my checkbox under preferences alive in my heart.

- ramble - AJAX - Washington Park
I feel like I am kind of busy these next few days, but maybe it is just like the "busy work" you used to get in elementary school. I hope it is, because then the outcome won't really matter. Due to the likely fact that this isn't that type of busy, I will look to apply an appropriate amount of effort into all upcoming tasks.
On a side note, I have successfully created my first page implementing the AJAX coding style/whatever. How exciting, I am about 0.001% proficient in this area.
And to wrap things up, a pleasant picture I took in the park yesterday from the cell. I was lucky enough to have a "heads up" on my current business, so the park was def the perfect place to get a head start.
inside/out,
good night.
