Things I Think I Think

Leave a reply
  1. I don’t understand why people leave the default settings on their computers for stylistic things. like is the picture of rolling hills (Windows XP default wallpaper) SO magnificent that you want to keep it your wallpaper? is the windows start and shutdown sounds so melodious that they will remain your startup and shutdown sounds forever?
  2. why don’t people know how to mute their electronics? i mean it’s usually a matter of no more than 3 clicks or button presses. is it really too much to do?
  3. why do so many smart people like to talk about how smart they are, but at the same time act overly humble or “unaware” of their intelligence? i mean isn’t this more annoying than the person is smart and is just arrogant and up front with that arrogance?
  4. do apple computer owners feel superior (i mean every day folks, not the rabid fanboys that most apple owners are… and yes, i’m an apple owner) while sitting in class in a sea of wintel notebooks? their apple logo glowing softly?
  5. it’s not as hard to think of and type this list while taking notes as well (and it should be)
  6. all the studies and arguments that ipods, mp3 players, etc lead to social isolationism are very true and very accurate. i’ve been in classes with some people for 3 years and i don’t know their names, they only know my last name (how professors call on students). i’m otherwise known as “headphone guy” or “guy with the headphones.” if i don’t have them, the first thing people ask me is “where are your headphones?”
  7. in this day and age, professors should just give out copies of notes electronically, especially things like powerpoint presentations.
  8. there aren’t as many attractive people in school as i would’ve thought (and yes, i include myself in the not so attractive side)
  9. there is a huge difference in how law students and med students (doc, nurse, PA) carry themselves during their off times.
  10. something very attractive about med students (seem to walk with a little more focus, determination)
  11. 8, 9, and 10 might be more a function of where i am and where i go to school than anything else

trying this ecto thing

Leave a reply

hmm, it’s easy to use, but then there are problems. hopefully i’ll get it down pat. haha, of course this allows me to blog offline and then post later. which probably means more posts when i’m bored and sitting around in class. yes i’m in school (not for much longer). of course it deviates from my normal link-comment format. but maybe i’ll do my lists when i’m offline…

ecto

okay, so i’m trying out ecto versus using the blogsome web interface. we shall see how it works out over the next few days. the web interface of blogsome is great, esp the popup window to blog whatever browser page i am looking at. though i do like that it can post what i’m listening to on itunes if i’m listening to itunes. in fact let’s try it out.

Google Video Upload Program FAQ

i dont know if i’d ever take advantage of this, but i find it neat that you can charge ppl to download/watch the video.

oh and yes i have noticed that 99% of my posts fall in the “???- random” category. this weekend i’ll make up some new categories so as to better organize the posts, if only for myself, bc as of right now i cant imagine anyone reads this mindless drivel

we make money not art: Sensitive vehicles to help drivers – via engadget

this would be great! i would love this. of course, let me be completely honest, my car would always glow angry, or annoyed, or impatient. but if everyone else knew that maybe they’d get out of my way, stop driving like idiots around me and then i’d glow happy, peaceful contented. haha, of course my glowing red (or whatever color angry, annoyed, impatient is) would def tip off the cops to keep an eye on me though…
