I'd ditch working the rest of the day and go play outside in this awesome weather!  but alas, catholic guilt and it being a friday in lent on top of that.  phew, well only a few more things to knock off the "MUST DO" list anyways and then I can go play guilt free.  :)  and oh yeah VEGAS in one week!TGIF

It was a firmware update that killed my powerbook. yes, Nick I was also running ubuntu on it but in a VM not natively yet. I'm too addicted to iMovie and iPhoto to let go of the final mac luv so as soon as we get those awesome new video editing things in FOSS then I'm all set. Actually I can let go of iPhoto so it's just the video stuff that ( Read more... )

one more work task and then onto exploring the city. I hate cities ( Read more... )

I'm staying up til 1 am to see if I can change my flight to a later one. Called earlier and they said if waited until 1 am it would only be $50 instead of $1,096.31, so yeah, might as well try it. That or I get to get up at the butt crack of dawn to trudge to airport. Did I mention I'm losing yet another weekend ( Read more... )

but ugh, feeling rather slugly today. But I have to go into the office for a few hours or else how can I justify Happy Hour tonight? prolly rather easily. I finished several projects yesterday so those loose ends are tied - go me. Now just a few more to go and then. . .ugh, well then more ( Read more... )

Now usually when creating online learning you actually learn something about the thing your creating but in this case, the process makes it so you don't have to, and ( Read more... )

story of my life, eh? I'm avoiding working on a really boring outline of 48 pages of some of the most boring content I've ever dealt with. Sometimes companies really can get too carried away with "processes" and this project is a prime example. They've made the whole creation process one big assembly line and now the client is complaining b/c ( Read more... )
