Dan Maynes-Aminzade and Hayes Solos Raffle from MIT's Media Lab have outfitted a urinal to serve as a gaming platform. The game itself reminds me of Duck Hunt. Given the static advertising above public urinals today, video monitors are probably not too far off either. "John Anderton, you look like you could use a Guinness!"…
I have over 15 gigabyes of music ripped onto my hard drive right now in either MP3 or WMA format. All retail CDs, purchased legally, but now much more efficiently indexed. Now the problem is having my music with me both at home and at work. My current player holds only 64 megabytes : not even a full album at 192 Kbps. I feel proud that my music collection can fit on only the high-end iPod 30 gigabyte model. MP3.com's old model of proving you owned the music and then enabling access to it anywhere makes sense to me. …
Today has been a long day to say the least. I woke up this morning in a daze due to lack of sleep, and after I tuned my TV to CNN Headline News as I normally do before stepping into the shower I felt like I was having a bad dream. Must have been an Independence Day induced dream or something. Everywhere is on heightened alert, even my local Home Depot received a bomb threat today.

Hopefully I can find a good job in the next couple of weeks, and get on the career path before I need to go after my MBA. :)…
I am now in finals week. The last finals of my undergraduate career (I hope). Anyone can attend UCLA and receive an education for free. That is right, for free. The acquisition of knowledge, the furthering of your personally intellectual goals: all at no cost. UCLA is such a big school that you can attend class for an entire quarter and never even be enrolled. All class are all available at the campus libraries for anyone to read. No professors check their rosters to ensure that all persons in attendance are on the class roster. So while some professors…
I am still looking for a full time job to step into upon graduation from UCLA. I feel I have a lot of experience and a solid degree, but the whole industry seems to be holding its breath and waiting for the dust to clear from the bubble burst….
I spent last weekend taking my sister all over southern California. We went to Disney's California Adventure, San Diego Zoo, and *N SYNC : Larger Than Live. Busy weekend….
