People won't be people when they hear this sound

Did you know that the stream of water from water fountains is actually two streams of water that join together into one? This helps get the height, distance, and quanity of water that most people expect. It's really quite an interesting system if you think about it.

Anyways, I don't even know what to write about today. My stomache hurts, my neck hurts, my head hurts, and my mind hurts. I want to goto sleep. Maybe I'll just take off early from work. Maybe I'll turn this into a rambling affair. I need to go to the bank to put money into my account. I also want to goto borders books and get cheap CDs. I also want to play loud music in my basement. I want to go on a bike ride. I want to play frisbee. I want to get more clothes. I want to goto a coffee shop. I want to read more. I started reading catch-22 today at lunch. It is so good. I kinda want a haircut. Not a cut so much as a trim. I want to watch bad action movies in my basement. I want to do a lot of things that are easily chosen to be done with people. And I kinda want to do them with myself or maybe one or two people that would make it more enjoyable. Lately I've not wanted to hang out in large(r) groups. Heck, I've not really wanted to hang out in groups at all. It's hard to avoid people though. Is goto really not a word? Is it go to? I get that alot is a lot, but goto should totally be a word. Silly spell check.

I (dis)like that the people I talk about read this. Yah, you.

I also have a new place for winking. Right between legs and short hair on my angry list. Yah, you.

Just a sec more in my bed...

I think I need to stop staying up so late and actually wake up with time to get ready in the morning. I kinda just laid in my bed until I had just enough time to get to work at nine. And because of that I am tired at work and actually took a 10 minute nap outside, it was nice. Do you ever catch yourself giving really strong twitches when your on the verge of falling asleep? Cause I did and I thought I probably looked really strange.

So I have this idea for some night that I have friends over. Creative night. If you come, you have to be creative in some way, whether it is playing music, painting something, or writing something. You need to do something. The other night, Tasha and I made T-Shirts and it was a lot of fun because I just wanted to make something. There have been nights when I will play on my new keyboard and just make basic music, but it is so much fun. I think that as a group we could do something fun and exciting for all of us. It also doesn't have to be inside. We could get a bucket of chalk and go write on a sidewalk somewhere.

Let's do this.

We drink to die, we drink tonight.

The other night I went for a walk at about 4 or 5 in the morning. I walked to the nearest hill and looked at everything. No one was on the swingset. No one was playing baseball. No one was awake. On my way back to my house I passed a newspaper delivery man. He was working hard to deliver papers to all the houses before they woke up. He didn't mind me as much as I minded him.

No matter how the world is a well oiled place, oil is still messy. You just never really know it unless your a mechanic.

Let's get complicated

Sometimes life seems so easy and smooth. Sometimes all I want is to be consumed by friends.
They will keep me safe and sound with truth. They will be my nightlight and my favorite blanket.
When we're apart I start to worry. I want them to be as happy as they make me.
So I keep them close and keep them warm. Just to let them know someone cares.

We all want someone to care.
Someone to hold and just, be there.
We all want friends to love.
People to kiss our cheeks and hold our hands.

I rarely put doubt into the safety you bring. I really think that we can do this and get out alive.
We can't help it if our hearts sing. The sound in my chest is harmonizing with yours.
That is how I know we are safe and can safely cry. Every one else can make us feel so unwanted.
But if they could know how it feels to not have to try. They'd be jealous of our love.

They all want someone to care.
Someone to see, they must be here.
They all want friends to hide in.
People to compare and fight to hold our hands.

But at least I hope I'm not one of them.
And the look in your eyes tell me I'm not.
You and I are not part of that breed.
We are sensitive and in love with the world.

We both have someone to care.
Someone to hold and just, be there.
We both have each other to love.
People that just being near cures all.

This post does not have a clever title and is right to the point

I'm working on streaming video to mobile devices for my internship at Thomson Reuters. And I have been focusing on the iPhone while my intern-at-crime is taking a lot of the BlackBerry work. In my week here I've seen that Apple is not the nicest company to develop for as a third party. Here is a quick history lesson. The iPhone came out in June 2007, with no real ability for third parties to write applications. In response, people turned their phones into an open source platform on which that could develop apps. This platform was the open source SDK (software development kit), which had all the things you needed to make an app. In 2008, Apple released their SDK and the App store, so third parties could make apps and sell them. The problem is that Apple's SDK is missing or locked out 25% of the open source SDK, meaning that developers weren't getting access to all the available tools. The documentation for making apps is missing all this extra information, although it is still in the code. Any application that uses these codes is blocked from the app store. Now, Apple is releasing the iPhone OS 3.0 with a larger SDK, which they say has 1,000 new APIs (things you can use to make an application). I call BS and say that these 1,000 "new" APIs were always there and they are just making them public to seem like they are rewarding the developers. These APIs should have been available with the first SDK if not the release of the phone. Apple is controlling what and how people use their software and hardware and I don't think people know how constrained the system is. Without all the nonsense, I think the quality and creativeness of applications would soar. I'm not saying Apple should go open source or give full access to third parties, I just think they should trust them.

The Pre

So there's this thing right. Well, it's more of a device. But it's more than just a device, so let's go back to calling it a thing. Or a phone, you could definitely call it a phone, but it's so much more. Anyways, this thing is called the Pre and is made by Palm. It's brand new and I really want one. Whats cool is that because I haven't upgraded my phone is two years, that I get to upgrade and get a pretty big discount on my new phone. But I have to wait until July 1st to get the discount. But I have will power, so I can totally do it.

I took my lunch break and went to the Sprint store in Eagan and got to play around with their store model and look at one of the employee's, which was pretty sweet. So far it doesn't have many third party apps, about 20 today. So I'm hoping that by July there will be a lot more of them about. Also that any bugs will have been possibly fixed with firmware updates. There's been one already since release and so Palm seems to be on top of thier game. But look for me with a new sweet piece of tech in July.
