Life’s good!
I found this article kind of really funny. It was written in 1995.
What the Internet hucksters won’t tell you is tht the Internet is one big ocean of unedited data, without any pretense of completeness. Lacking editors, reviewers or critics, the Internet has become a wasteland of unfiltered data. You don’t know what to ignore and what’s worth reading. Logged onto the World Wide Web, I hunt for the date of the Battle of Trafalgar. Hundreds of files show up, and it takes 15 minutes to unravel them–one’s a biography written by an eighth grader, the second is a computer game that doesn’t work and the third is an image of a London monument. None answers my question, and my search is periodically interrupted by messages like, “Too many connectios, try again later.”

Google Calendar with unlimited text messaging is the best thing that keeps my head on straight. Ever.
Whenever I have an event, a reminder is sent to my phone usually 10 minutes before. This has led to a kind of conditioned response where I look at the time whenever I get a text message. If it is 10 minutes before the hour or half hour, I make this kind of motion where I say Oh Shit and I grab for my phone right away. Actually if you want me to pay attention to your text right away, that is probably the best time to send me a message.
I am really impressed with Firefox 3. It features very few memory leaks, opens and runs faster, and has a few more features on it. It is entirely a better browser than IE now, and it’s all I use for now.
Sorry for the flurry of posts. Ironically, I was just thinking yesterday how I wasn’t posting a lot recently.
Anyway, it seems like I’m going to hell for my genetic experimentation. The Vatican seems to have published a new list of deadly sins, and I’ve done the second most deadly on the list. Accumulating excessive wealth is a goal of mine too. Darn.
- Environmental pollution
- Genetic manipulation
- Accumulating excessive wealth
- Inflicting poverty
- Drug trafficking and consumption
- Morally debatable experiments
- Violation of fundamental rights of human nature
The same guys who brought you “pantsless on the subway for a day” and “Freeze Events in London and Toronto”bring…
Daylight Saving Time should be split up into thirty minute increments over two weeks instead of one hour in one day (i.e. spring forward for 30 minutes on Sunday, and then 30 minutes the next Sunday).
It screws with me so much. For instance, going to bed an hour earlier is like torture because I am not tired yet. Today I had to wake up early and it feels REALLY early… ugh. Now I’m going to be tired all day.
