Just a few notes on where I’ve been and what I’ve been up to:
- http://www.freerice.com/index.php allows you to get your vocabulary on with some quick definitions and feed hungry peeps at the same time. I use it as a time-killer at work — kill time, feed hungry.
- http://www.notcot.org/ always has cool stuff to look at. It’s just a link directory (think digg.com, that’s d-i-g-g-dot-com) for design stuff.. mostly industrial design and artsy things. Some web stuff, occasionally, but I’ve got a special place in my heart for unconventional and/or ergonomic design.
- http://vse.marketwatch.com/Game/Homepage.aspx is a virtual stock game.. pretty cool. If you guys are interested in playing, lemme know. It only takes a few minutes a day. Buy some stock, monitor it, sell it, make money.
There are massive cultural differences between different races, primarily between blacks and whites. The biggest, in my opinion, is the way they communicate between each other. White people tend to be intimidated by black people, as their culture is something unfamiliar to most white people. Thus, when a black man has a problem, he may verbalize it, as happened at basketball two weeks ago. The majority of the white people I play basketball with would likely wait until after they are away from the person or in a group of all white people and then vent. Read the rest of this entry »
I sent this to Comcast last night:
I just want the know the definite answer as to why Comcast isn’t available in my area. I’m dying out here! For the price of our HD channels / crap-ellite internet, we could have everything Comcast offers, plus a Netflix subscription, and probably a steak dinner every Tuesday.
I beg ye, Comcast, get your bums out this way and make life good again;( Push this message up the ladder if you’ve got to. E-mail me, call me, send a telegraph, I don’t care. I’m a lovable guy, and I’m not at all going to be grumpy on the phone (I worked tech support for years, so I know how call-backs can suck). I’m just looking to get a solid internet connection, and maybe a few bitchin’ HD channels
Comcast does that. Just not here.
[Update: as of 11.02.07, still no real response. I got an e-mail saying the message would be passed to the appropriate department on 10.18.07, but that's the last I heard.]
Not really. But more importantly, Dish Network is FINALLY coming to give us a modem, and 17gig transfer limit of introwebs lovin’.
Sure, the limit / cap blows, but it’s better than nothing (or dial-up. Which is almost nothing).
First, read this. It’s got notta to do with my list, but it’s pretty shocking stuff. People are insane.
On a lighter note:
Pay car tags- Buy new tires
- Finish MP web application
- Finish GIDB web site
- Design CM logo, cards, website
