It sucks to be sick.

August 23, 2005

So for the last 2+ days I’ve been running a 101 degree fever. Let me tell you that it sucks. I’m supposed to be getting ready for burningman, and I feel like the one who is burning. I’m hoping that this thing will be gone by tomorrow… but who knows. Even in my sickened state, [...]

Technology is great, technology sucks

August 16, 2005

So, I just installed the new Yahoo! Music Engine. It’s actually pretty good compared to the other offerings out there. For $7/month, I have unlimited listening and the amount and depth of content is suprising… probably the best I’ve seen to date. Now that’s the good part…the crappy thing is their UI.

Pittsburgh is a little closer

August 9, 2005

My loving parents seem to be reading my mind, though it doesn’t take a genius to know that I so desperately wanted to see the Steelers practice at St. Vincent’s College in Latrobe.

The Internet Age Strikes Again!

August 9, 2005

So, did I mention I love the internet? As if you couldn’t already guess. First, I’ve decided to begin leveraging a social networking website to find contacts and make acquaintances. Typically, I hate social networking sites, because they don’t offer too much. Tribe.net and Friendster seem to be a big waste of time and once [...]
