Week six of Winter quarter is coming to a close. I was talking to a friend of mine yesterday about how we’d rather being working than in school. Even if the hours are longer in the workforce, you don’t have to sit through hours of boring classes titled “Needs Assessment” and “Human-Computer Interaction II – Interface Design” (apologies to Bryan and Rick). And, when you go home from work, you’re finished with it! You don’t need to think about doing assignments outside of work which will be due the next day, graded, and reflect on your performance as an employee. In that sense, perhaps it’s the homework that I don’t like. I think that apart from that, working full time gave weekly retribution in the form of a paycheck and that is much more satisfying than the promise of an eventual undergraduate degree in Information Technology.

Yeah, yeah, I know. It’s childish to think in terms of immediate rewards but sometimes the present is your only focus. Thinking too much about your future is futile.

Recently, I’ve discovered that no matter how much time, money, patience, hope, and support you lend, some things are just simply not in your realm of control.

So, editing html directly to make new posts is fun and all, but I’d like to try a different solution. WordPress seems promising and also pretty.

Radiohead’s most recent album, In Rainbows, is a work of genius. This remix of “Reckoner” and MGMT’s “Kids” is as well.

I’m not one to base my political opinions / know-how on what celebrities say but… Matt says it best.

Joe and I are actively working on getting our company off of the ground. Blue Door Development, Inc. — as it has comne to be called — will soon actually be incorporated and we are already starting to develop for our first project. It’s hush-hush until we’re actually incorporated though.
If you’re reading this and have any sort of web scripting, design, database experience or otherwise, please don’t hesitate to send a résumé to thom@bluedoordev.com.

Classes are out; finals over. The campus is empty and our “food” debit (in quotes because we honestly used it on so much more than just food) is gone. If only RIT had a normal break schedule, I just might get to see people from back home. There’s enough work to do moving into the new house though!
Now it’s time to find a co-op for the summer.

I was looking through some of my friends’ blogs and I liked the way that one of them looked. It was hosted on BlogSpot so I decided I’d make an account to check out the user interface and ease of use. You see, hosting your own blog with its own design isn’t exactly easy to update. Anyway, when I went to make an account the first thing that I saw was this:

Should I be offended?
