Seems like every web designer/developer whose blog I read daily is doing a wrap up of the past year. I don’t usually in indulge in such blowhardiness, but what the hell. I feel no need to organize or categorize these, so in no particular order…

“I can’t make a decision! I’m the President”

I’ve been drooling over the Nokia N800 since it’s predecessor, the N770, came out a couple years ago. I’m finally getting ready to pull the trigger on the vastly improved N800 and this happens:
So sexy. Soooo, tempting. I love my iPod. It was easy to ignore the iPhone because I’ll never be able to use one in Montana. I’d read about people buying the iPhone who can’t get AT&T cell service (or T-Mobile with a little hacking) and using it as a $600 iPod. I thought that laughable, then the Touch shows up. Bastards. But I already have an iPod that has been mostly trouble-free and has almost twice the storage capacity of the larger Touch.
I’m probably still going to get the N800, but I’ll always be second-guessing myself. I hate it when that happens.
(Oh, and name the movie the title of this post comes from.)
There Should Be A Law

Tom Leykis and Adam Carolla should not be allowed to go on vacation during the same week. It’s not right. It’s not fair. I can only take so much of Dave Ramsey and Leo Laporte. I scoured the iTunes store last night and right now I’m listening to a podcast about Halo 3 from Bungie, the company who developed the franchise.

So I’m pulling into the parking lot at work after seeing my grandmother at lunch. It’s a beautiful, sunny, 50-degree Spring day and I’ve got Metallica’s “Blitzkrieg” cranked on my iPod, playng through the car stereo. A woman from an office upstairs comes walking by with a scowl on her face that seems to say, “Damned kids!” She makes eye contact and instantly the look on her face turns to confusion as to why a fat middle-aged guy would be blasting heavy metal in his car. I cackled for a solid 5-10 minutes on that one.
