Ok, so I've not been working very hard lately. Well.. I've been going to work, but not working. They gave us all new phones, fancy-ass PDA phones. They are complicated and really neat but otherwise a waste of time. Difficult to dial on, heavy, not comfortable when held to one's ear... but totally badass. I've spent three days changing registry settings to make it how I want and putting emulators on it. Joey, this bad-boy can play Quake... yeah that's right.. Quake, and I think I saw a Pocket Quake 2 out there... yes that is right, embrace your jealousy.
Also it has a touch screen.. and speaking of touch screens all you nerds out there need to check this shit out. Throw a Tom Cruise in there and a poorly written screen play on a Phillip K. Dick story and bam... but seriously, I want one. I don't know what I would do with it... but just imagine. I'm so very impressed by this video, maybe they could make an entire video game system where the control was merely on the screen. I hope tablet PCs start using this technology, shit I hope everyone starts using this technology.
And continuing in the vein of badass technology, I found this interesting video. I feel bad that I was not alive, or at least not developed enough, to enjoy this whole debacle. But thanks to Maddox and others I still garner immense pleasure from hearing about the entire situation. For those of you who don't know, watch the video, the google it.. really quite a funny story. And just for comments sake, does anyone think they actually found it?
In other news, probably more relevant to what this site actually is about, I raced this past weekend. It went well. Didn't do spectacular or anything, but it was a duathlon which isn't really my thing. I had a lot of fun hanging out with The Ride guys and I can't wait to train more this season. Oh yes, I'll be training a crap ton more, guarenteed. And I've got some things going on which I'll share with everyone after I find out more this afternoon... stay tuned for more info.
Ok, enough randomness, I'm going to play with my phone and pretend to work a little more.
Later

Good luck with the *thing* that you have this afternoon!
What did you kick ass at? Call/email me if SUPERSECRET. Would like to catch up anyway.
ALSO: Fuckin A Quake on a phone? Jesus Christ that is like crack for the teenage version of me, and by "teenage version" I mean "current version."
ALSO ALSO: I love the Atari ET murder mystery -- it gets a lot of attention in "Joystick Nation: A Natural History of Video Games." A good book if you're a big nerd.
That thing was an interview.. trying to get another job. Quake on the phone is pretty freaking sweet... I don't do work at work anymore.. well that is because of the phone and also since I'm trying to get another job. I should call.. just been pretty damn busy lately.. stupid everything.
ditto, crazy busy as always. oh well.
