What’s Google Wave? Will it reduce the number of inboxes I need to deal with in my life or add to them?
I think Google plans on replacing email and IM with an unlimited amount of micro-inboxes.

I can’t tell if it’s a good show yet, but the cast is very good.
“The principal breakthrough in soft lenses was made by the Czech chemists Otto...”
– Contact lens - soft contact lenses are only 40-50 years old… before that people put glass and plastic… on their eyes.
I got contacts today.
Why the hell didn’t I do this sooner?
What do you use for Word Processing?
I’ve been using Apple’s Pages for a while, but there are a few things that bother me about it (specifically the spelling and grammar tools which are fine for typos and other minor mistakes, but useless when you totally don’t know how to spell something (requiring me to go use google’s spell check) or make a major grammar mistake). I’ve used Microsoft Office in the...

I don’t know how it is possible for a show to be stupid and brilliant at the same time, but this one pulls it off. Also, I’m glad to see Chevy Chase being Chevy Chase.
WatchHe’s my congressman.
I think I actually just recommended Meta Lab Design to someone. I’m sorry Richard.
Typekit
Apparently I have 4 invites for this service. Want one?
I'm sick.
Stuck in bed all day because I feel like crap/am afraid of getting swine flu. I’m half serious about the swine flu, I know at least two people who had it (they’re both fine now).
I’m not a very good sick person. I always feel that I have to get up and do something productive, which usually means taking care of crap I never have time for (i.e. cleaning my closet). I can’t...
Did you know Barnes & Noble sells eBooks? →
The prices are actually better than most ebook stores and they have their own eBook software for iPhone, Blackberry and Mac (oh, and PC). It’s actually a pretty nice app.
I’m currently reading Craig Ferguson’s autobiography American on Purpose.
Watchsoupsoup:
Glenn Beck tells Katie Couric that John McCain would have been worse for America than Barack Obama. He would have voted for Hillary Clinton over McCain as well.
Wait, then who did he vote for? Chuck Baldwin, the Constitutional Party candidate?

I actually made a new episode of PODCAST →

I find this site to be brilliant an obnoxious at the same time:
Brilliant because it’s a unique concept, and interesting way to find out about new apps.
Obnoxious because so many designers, developers, tech writers, and micro celebrities own iPhones.
The iPhone has reached a saturation point where it’s still cool because it’s an awesome device, and there still isn’t much...
I wonder if there are any objectivist open source software developers. I bet they make shitty software.
Hi Tumblr User
This is what a post looks like.
DAMN YOU CHUMBY
I set my wireless network to 802.11n 5GHz and it increased my network speed greatly, but now the damn chumby doesn’t work. Stupid chumby and it’s non 802.11n compatible wireless chip.
It didn't occur to me until I was 17 that in the... →
Best thread ever. I’ve had at least 7 “OH MY GOD!” moments reading this.
This is going to be a good movie. →

Beatles in stereo is OK
I just listened to Beatles for Sale in stereo. It’s not bad, the vocals don’t make me nauseous.
Fun experiment, download a remastered mono album and a remastered stereo album (try Beatles For Sale or The White Album or whatever you like). Mono feels better.
Remastered Beatles
So incredibly great.
Does it work on Snow Leopard? →
Excellent site if you haven’t yet upgraded or if you did it prematurely…
iTunes 9
DO NOT WANT. It’s so slick and shiny that I’m getting nauseous.
Can I speak candidly about pencils?
People who know me personally me will typically identify me as the computer nerd, and thus they are usually surprised to hear that I hate typing. I’m not a poor typist, I think I’m fairly quick on the keys and I don’t have to look down at my keyboard, but I find that I am unable to sit and type for long periods of time. It’s not so much that it hurts my hands, I just...
