update your links! you know you love it. i'm moving. thanks to kind, generous, beautiful olivia, my blog will now be hosted at yummy. the new site. nothing too snazzy right now, but hopefully soon i'll get on making my own theme. we'll see. seems awfully intimidating.

oooohhhh....i just saw someone with a Nokia 770, and he showed it to me... looked pretty nice! i didn't even know these existed. at $360, it seems to be a bit more reasonable than the expected pricing of those UMPCs, originally thought to retail for under $600, but which now are expected to go for over $1000.

a super long article from the new york metro about the dwindling generation gap, and how the new yuppies are also being true to their hipster selves. and he also quotes star trek. Up With Grups - The Ascendant Breed of Grown-Ups Who Are Redefining Adulthood. i was joking about this yuppie/hipster idea with shawn when i joked that we should get matching manhattan portage messenger bags. yea, that

and good for you! =) although ridiculously expensive, this mocha cappucino (with whey protein!) is super yummy. i really can't tell the difference between this and a starbucks mocha frappucino in a bottle, except this one is much better for you.the c-boost, strawberry banana, berry smoothie, and mango lemonade are pretty rockin too.

pretty amazing. an autistic man has been designing an imaginary city since the age of 12 - here are detailed historical, geographical, cultural, and economic descriptions, as well as drawings of the city - urville. i found the cultural description of the city to be particularly fascinating.

i'm so sick of pop music right now. so sick that i've taken to listening to death from above 1979. so does anyone have any suggestions for something that's not so happy it makes me want to kick a baby?

gorilla vs. bear is such a good mp3 blog. here, i'm sharing my secrets. also, chris (i adore his taste in music so much, we're on a first name basis) has been posting some gnarls barkley promo pics, and since for some strange moral reason i'm boycotting myspace, i wouldn't have seen them otherwise. sweet.

i took today off, ostensibly to get my photography done, but more likely just to catch up. i've been putting in some serious time on my individual project for my HCI class lately. i'm actually pretty proud of what i did get done. here is a working prototype of my design for an e-commerce art site. i tried to make an example of each type of link, so check it out, and let me know if you can think

music for robots is a cool little mp3 blog i like. a good mix of electronic stuff, along with all the normal (but different from the other ones i read) mp3s.so, SXSW put out another torrent with like a million mp3s from almost all of the bands playing this year, and MFR went ahead and listened to (almost all of) them, and here's a list of what they deem to be the good ones. i haven't started

indie bands sticking up for their beliefs in the face of big money from hummer. way to go! that's pretty awesome.i thought this paper on warioware on game design was pretty cool, and i thought the game studies journal itself is even cooler. something to investigate.lots of photography work to do this weekend.went to see prefuse 73 last night, pretty hott. the first guy was funny, the second guys

a really excellent malcolm gladwell article on profiling and generalizing. using the example of pit bulls, he talks about why and when we make generalizations, and what we can do to make better generalizations.

ok, so 30 boxes may not look quite as nice as hipcal, and it may not have quite as cool of a favicon, but you should check it out. the neatest thing is the natural language add event feature. i can type in "4/21 to 4/23 Deloitte Welcome Weekend tag Deloitte" and it enters "Deloitte Welcome Weekend" for those three days, and tags the event with "deloitte". you can search for events by tags, and

the director of the awesome game god of war, david jaffe, speaks out about the state of the game industry. i think his points are totally spot-on, and i would love to theorize on the subject. the game industry really does need to stop thinking of itself as derivative of other media, and start developing its own language. i like how he said that he wanted the game to feel like you were in the

yea, i've been reading daily kos lately. so, as was to be expected, fox news edited most of the applause out after rev. lowery's remarks at coretta scott king's funeral, and then morton kondracke was surprised at the audience's lack of an uproarious response. ok, pretty shameful and ridiculous, but that's fox news. but cnn also spliced out most of the applause, also without noting that the clip

trekkies is in my netflix cue, but it's going to be a while, since shawn and i are working our way through arrested development. which, although heavy-handed at times, is thoroughly enjoyable. i really liked watching the commentary, as they are all together in one room and you can see that gob really is hilarious. anyway. so, this guy turned his apartment (or flat, since this is england) into a

love them. this is a great article about keyboard shortcuts in web apps. (web apps are things like flickr, del.icio.us, backpack, even gmail's interface.) it seems like the majority of software these days (with the exception of office programs and web broswers) is niche-software - graphics programs, IDEs, music editing, stats, etc... 80% of users probably don't use actual software, and instead

shawn and i watched charlie and the chocolate factory, and i must say, i actually really enjoyed it. it's unfair to call this movie a remake, as i'm sure anyone who saw the film for what it was, was quick to say. johnny depp was probably my least favorite part, although i'm sure that it's mostly because of his likeness to mr. jellineck (from strangers with candy, which we have been totally

digg has replaced slashdot as my new favorite tech site. what immediately hits me is that it's far nicer looking than slashdot (i'm taking an hci class and a human factors class this semester, and that's all i've been thinking about lately), but what's extremely nice is that the main links are (usually) to the actual stories, with short commentary underneath (instead of with slashdot, where the

ok, so you probably won't think that this is cool if you are heartily against animal research...but doctors have been experimenting with pigs, replicating the effects of multiple gunshots or other massive blood loss, then putting them into states of profound hyporthermia, before performing surgery, pumping blood back in, and reviving them. not the greatest article...there is one on

watched an amazing amazing AMAZING movie yesterday, city of god. It tells the story of boys from the slums of Rio, a place that in the early 80s became one of the most violent places in Rio. so so amazing. so amazing to learn that most of the kids in the movie were untrained actors, actually kids from the favelas. extremely well done, and particularly interesting in light of some of the theories

ok, so anyone who doesn't have myspace absolutely must sign up so they can check out paris hilton's myspace. she's promoting her new album "i crazy party", with such hits as "screwed" (oh i could go on for hours) and "all the boys are chasing me". just laugh at the people who have commented. laugh! oh yea, and we discovered, her pictures are Not really SFW. my friend lindsay just described her

boil it down so it sounds like you're talking to a 10 year old...it's all so clear. also, a list of art games

so, shawn and i are planning to see a little of europe this summer. i figure, my start date for deloitte is in end of july or something like that, so i'd ideally like to do as much traveling as possible. have i already said that here? i'm too lazy to go back and look. it's been a long time since my last post (not counting last night). soo...a trip to israel is in the works. a trip to japan is in

quick music update: so i've just been downloading mp3s en masse and not really reading about them because each day i'm so behind. so on my mp3 player pops this crazy little infectious song, "rad" by a band called smoosh (under the last photo). i told shawn tonight that he had to listen to it - "it's like a 10 year old punker girl rapping!" well, little did i know that it really is a 13 year old

so monday night, a little past midnight, we woke up to the sound of rain. not just any rain, but rain inside the apartment. last week, during a heavy rain, we came home to find water coming through the light fixtures in our bathroom. well, monday night, the water was pouring from the light fixtures, as well as from a spot in the middle of the ceiling. two hours later and we still can't sleep and

ah shit. i go to do my first update since last week, and firefox crashes. that's right, it crashed. wtf? totally. anyway. interview with vanguard went well, particularly because i was in a situation where i could say, "tell me why i should choose vanguard over deloitte." seems like a fine company, except the one thing that really bothered me was that everything was ship related to a ridiculous

so, i am flying out to malvern pa (near philly) today for an interview with the vanguard group. which i am excited for. but.....last friday was my second round interview with deloitte consulting. going in, i wasn't too sure how interested i was. i didn't want to be doing corporate IT work for a humongous company, and that's what i thought i would be doing there. but, i think this will be

the two latest perry bible fellowship strips are really good. liz, you may not want to read "the golden ticket". oh my god. i want to go home. "work" has gone on far too long. i can't even use the current version of rhapsody on these computers, so i can't even play with my mp3 player. actually, all i've really felt like doing all day is playing nintendogs. i do have some homework to do though,

i would really like to love the new fiery furnaces album, but...it's a little difficult. even more than their other stuff. i do like them a lot though for some reason.i need new headphones. the ones that came with my iriver are pretty crappy, and the ones that came with my ipod are staticky.rhapsody needs to get tom vek's album. i really like the single C-C (you set the fire in me). you can find

i just changed my ring tone. do the whirlwind just makes me want to dance. the rest of the album is ok, but it's no do the whirlwind. i like songs that make me so happy i listen to them over and over, or songs that make everything around me look a little brighter, a little crisper, or songs that make me feel like i'm in a movie, or songs that make me feel that much cooler. we're going to go see

oh i love futurama. i would really love to own all of the dvds. my favorite all time episode is still "roswell that ends well", the one where they go back in time, crash in area 51, and zoidberg is the alien that was captured. hahahaha. zoidberg.

but omg so much good music lately. i'm really in love with the songs roll on by twin atlas and do the whirlwind by architecture in helsinki. love love love.i love my shuffle, but i'm starting to think i could use a different mp3 player...one that will let me see what my new songs are called. these mobiBLU cube mp3 players are super sweet. this weekend was just marvelous. a campfire, mountain pies

wow i hate spelling vacuum and all variants thereof. i just bought a roomba. yay! it's not the newest model, but for $175 ($25 off at amazon plus free shipping) i welcome never having to vacuum floors again.

i can't wait to go home and delete 98% of my music library. music is so temporal now, especially with rhapsody as a realization of the concept of the celestial jukebox. the 2% are single mp3s that don't exist on albums offered by rhapsody. i'm so excited to go home and do this. begone random dave matthews band songs! begone weezer albums! begone neutral milk hotel! i can listen to you on rhapsody

i am very excited to see the curse of the were-rabbit. i remember falling in love with wallace and grommit when mr. sawyer showed the wrong trousers during ap physics one day. my god this paper is so painful. i hate writing arguments that i *know* are unconvincing as i'm writing them. i think i'm about to wipe my hands of this. my stomach is upset...i've been worrying too much lately.

i'm starting to get mildly annoyed at rhapsody for not having the newest albums i want to listen to. music is exhausting. i need to start dancing again. getting in shape is such an enormous, gigantic, insumountable obstacle, you have no idea. i've lost weight recently...it feels good. maybe that will be some incentive to get myself into a leotard, knowing that i don't have to look at a too large
