Just realized that I apparently do not know what year it is. Oops.

I just saw a convoy of Maid Brigade cars drive by. An actual brigade. Truth in advertising, I’m impressed.

An interesting read: forbes.com/sites/harrybin… I wish people wouldn’t use Ayn Rand as a reference though, it lacks credibility.. :-/
In a Top Gun mood
Sitting working today at a Starbucks with a of the airspace around KPDX, and it looks like the Oregon Air Guard are out flying about in their F-15’s today. It’s not quite exactly right as far as aircraft go, but it’s close enough. Time to get some work done to the Top Gun soundtrack and dream about the sky.
Blog updated..
I know, I never use it anyway. But here it is. Blog theme updated, WordPress version updated, all kinds of fun!
I really do plan to write more, but it’s hard to do when you can’t really talk about the things you’re working on or the fun things you’re doing. 🙂
PragProg’s take on the iPad…
An article in the latest magazine from the Pragmatic Bookshelf says pretty much everything I want to say about the iPad and what it is about to unleash.
I find the most compelling point about this to be the “bling arms race”. Looking good is the critical element in an app, the only important feature. (Notable exceptions such as Doodle Jump ? acknowledged, but go with it for now…)? Maybe that’s not so bad in some cases, especially on an iPhone where I expect to use most of the apps a few times and be done with them.
The use case on the iPad is going to be far different though. Fart apps aren’t going to cut it. I don’t buy apps for my computer without a demo to try first, and I don’t see myself doing anything different for a device like the iPad. Sadly the only pre-purchase info you’ll get for you apps are the usual review (highly suspect and probably fake) and screenshots. This is a high quality device, and we’re going to want high-quality apps to run on it. The apps store ecosystem isn’t set up for this. It’ll be interesting to see what happens.
4 more days…
4 more days and I’m OUTTA here! It’s practically time to start packing!
I know for some people work gets harder the closer you get to a vacation, but for me it’s the opposite. C’Mon work, give me your best shot! Can’t hurt me, I’m almost freeee!
The Unusuals: When Bad TV Isn’t
If you haven’t seen this show “The Unusuals”, you should really check it out. Comedy detective drama where all the bad tropes are really called out and highlighted. So much fun.
Low and to the left…
Not sure what I’m doing wrong, but I have a consistent problem with rounds hitting just below and left.
I think I need to work on trigger technique. Hard to really know in dry-firing though, and ammo costs are now prohibitively high! The range won’t even let you buy more than 100 rounds. I really want to get a .22 conversion kit, but they’re backordered until September!
Guess it’s more dry-fire practice for me!
