gathering today's interestingness --
delivering internet by airship
yahoo can track traffic reports for major US zones
FCC denies request to censor satellite radio (a good thing in my opinion)
yes, bill parcells hates drew henson *that* much
as soon as i stop going to his a&m comp sci building, the poor bastard croaks
boston rob and am-buh to be amazing race 7 players?
and the quote of the day, "the only difference between brown-nosing and asskissing is depth perception." i swear i hear the best shit from random fuckers up at work.
let's do this again soon. yes. let's.

hey another boring day at work! better post!
so the spike tv video game awards aired last night, although i didn't bother to watch. better just to read people's criticism the next day, right? apparently it was as expected, a ridiculous event of blatant sponsors and obviously-paid celebrities. glad i didn't bother...
amazing race [TWoP recaplet] was okay last night, actually bothered to watch it live since i was having dinner anyway. still gotta catch up on that damn survivor finale, gotta find some time for it. somehow cube, ps2 and anime seem to outrank it lately...
i'm hoping this doesn't become a pain in the ass soon...
plus i'd take ellen's gift to her audience over oprah's pontiacs anyday. even if she's dating portia de rossi... but shouldn't they kill subscription fees already?
so sprint bought nextel, huh? can their first order of business be to get rid of that fucking annoying nextel ring that i've come to associate with carpenters and building contractors? top vote for new name so far: Sextel.
i have no ending for this, so i take a small bow.

thought it was interesting that blockbuster is getting rid of their late fees in hopes that the increased sales from it will offset lost revenue from late fees. so now you can keep movies/games an extra week without any late penalty, which sounds like a good idea if you *have* the movie/game, but i bet it kills their selection when everything's already been rented. oh well, i can't really remember the last time i went into a blockbuster anyway. not to knock them, just that renting games from them is typically like $6, which is a little high, and a lot of times i can find dvd replicas of any movie i'm interested in rather than actually going to out to rent it.
speaking of movies, we actually bothered to get out and saw ocean's twelve last night. man we had looked forward to seeing that in the theater (at this point we prolly only see a quarter of what we want to out) for several months and both of us were falling asleep during the whole thing. i dunno if it was just cuz i didn't have enough sleep or if the movie actually was *that* boring, but man i couldn't get into it. it had a few cool scenes here and there, but damn it just wasn't the same as the original. i think as soon as they weren't in vegas some of the appeal was gone. it had some cool style and a decent ending, but i guess how much i like clooney, damon and pitt couldn't overcome how much i dislike zeta-jones and julia roberts. i dunno, bottom line: too much star power, not enough plot/action. imdb says 6.5, they're not far off.
i finally finished star fox adventures last night. it's insane to think that i originally bought that game in october 2002 along with super mario sunshine and my gamecube itself. i think at one point i prolly went a year to year and a half straight without playing it at all. ended up taking 23 hours in all, as was somehow one of the easiest and hardest games i've ever played at the same time. it's not really known as a particularly popular game, although it was known as a great underground zelda-knockoff. i'm just glad to be done with it, as easy as it was some parts took roughly 12-15 attempts to get through.
i was a little pissed to see last night that EA has secured exclusive rights to the NFL. i've never been much of a football gamer, so it doesn't really affect me *that* much, but it really sucks that ESPN/Sega can't use the NFL anymore, especially after everyone loved that they released a $20 suite of quality games. yet another example of how EA is the evil empire of the video game industry...
the stats continue to look shite for my favorite little purple console this holiday season. xbox was reporting 41% and PS2 at 39% of console sales, so that leaves GC at a distant 20% of sales. although i really don't know how to interpret those numbers that much, since all those consoles are like 3 years old, i don't really know who's still buying them. it's kinda funny that sony didn't expect their new thin PS2's to sell so well and are now having a shortage of them.
i don't really know how the PS2 continues to just beat the shit out of everything (in the grand scheme at laest) every year. i bought one, so i'm not gonna bash it, but graphically it's really nothing compared to the cube if you ask me. i think if nintendo could just prove to everyone that they're not the kiddy brand everyone thinks they are they'd move a lot more merchandise. being a cuber is starting to feel a bit like being the last guy to support minidiscs, heh.
you'll have no more.

the moral of the story is, "watch your ass on december 25th."
in an unrelated note, you have no idea how hard it is to really motivate yourself to work when every day that goes by someone else is walking out of the building saying "well see you guys next year!" i think i worked for maybe 3-4 hours pretty hard this morning, then paid some bills and lost all motivation to give a crap for the rest of the day. blew an hour in a meeting at least, heh.
hard to get into the holiday spirit so far here, man. i always get into it way too late, like as we're going to colorado. by the time i realize i'm supposed to get into it xmas has already passed. being from a non-religious family i think i see it more as 2 weeks with no fuckin work rather than celebrating the birth of "jeee-zuss" anyway. as long as alayna gets her fill of christmas music, everything's fine.
this concludes my random post. thank you for your time.

work
so this is december up at work, huh? only ever done that once before, and it was 5 years ago, i was in high school, and the girl i started dating that month has since been married. so in other words, it was a long time ago. december's just goofy cuz you've got a lot of people with all this PTO to blow so random people just don't seem to show up on certain days, so productivity naturally suffers. i've actually done some pretty good work this month, but it's about to come to a screeching halt with the big giant break coming up. then of course it'll take a week to remember what the hell i was doing when we get back in january. at least there's some sense of festivity in the air, people throwing holiday parties, special events, etc. sure as hell beats the insanity that hits you in the face when december comes in college. i think in college the first 2 weeks of college can best be describes as hardcore exams mixed with rampant laziness. usually at some point during that period you slept for like 15 hours straight at one point, but then went 48 hours without sleep at another point.
so i guess i've been a software engineer for roughly 6 months now, so i should prolly have some sorta opinion on it, huh? maybe it's just the typical job -- sometimes i hate it, sometimes i love it, it's bad, it's good, etc. it's kind of like (at least in my situation) you have to be a team player and an individualist at the same time. it's the right kind of job for me in which you have to be able to take criticism and guidance from others but 75% of the time you're working on something yourself. i know a lot of people can't do that -- they just can't be by themself and be productive for too long. i can be just as bad at times, churn & burn for a while, then end up googling/surfing for an hour off task. hell, right now i'm writing a blog, right?
i can't really bitch about my job too much cuz i've just got it too good compared to too many other people. i wear jeans to work 95% of the time, an untucked shirt prolly 80%. i've totally come to realize that i can actually work better when i just put on a regular shirt & jeans rather than come in and wear slacks and a button-down shirt. it's just not comfortable to write & compile code, run down to the lab, crawl behind shit, etc in that kinda gear. i think that's kinda how it should be: if you're coding and "engineering" all the time, you need to be more comfortable than anything, but if you're tap-dancing for the customers all day you should grin & bear it in your suit & tie.
as far as the people i work with, they're mostly good compared to what i've typically seen. they can be pretty laid back, which really helps a lot when it comes to how secure you feel about your job. you have to admit you see these people more than your own family a lot of times, so you almost have to like them to really enjoy what you're doing. we could use a bit more young blood in the group, but they're understandably reluctant to hire recent grads lately. in general, there isn't a particularly strong young group here. i mean there's a group of college hires that have come in within the last year or so, but it's kind of the usual hodgepodge of dorks and antisocials, heh. just kinda seems like it's gonna be sorta tricky making a ton of friends up at work.
dork news
the latest tivo doomsday article came to my attention off of lost remote today. i can't completely disagree with some of it, although it is a little unfortunate. us proud tivo owners could very well see the company go completely belly-up within the next couple years. their flaw (although they have a terrific product) is that they refuse to believe they'd be better off as a pure software company. their boxes could easily be made by motorola or samsung with tivo software loaded on it, and it'd prolly be just as good.
i'm a tivo supporter, i've had my subscription for about a year and a half now and hardly had a complaint. but i can't really argue with those (typically tech-adept do-it-yourselfers) that say that paying $13 a month for their service is a crock of shit. that is pretty goddamn high, and the article states that it only costs tivo 94 cents a month to provide each user with guide data. the only way i justify it is that it's spent to help save me the trouble of recording things more manually and wasting a bunch of time watching everything live. plus, it looks like directv might drop them for dvr support sometime in late 2005, which doesn't exactly make me too eager to buy the HDirecTivo i've eyed for a while. if anything, tivo has taught me that shaping your entire life around a television schedule is dead and gone. no matter whether they flop or not, that's for sure.
there's also an article on there about HD penetration in the marketplace. they predict 50% of american households will be using hdtv's by 2007, which is so fucking wrong it's unbelievable. we'll be LUCKY if it's half that. as expected, so far my 6 month foray into high-definition television has been full of highs and lows, the biggest problem being it's lack of penetration so far. it's just too obvious at times that there's no real huge demand from the general public for pristine HD. directv has started to heavily compress their feeds quite a bit, and you can actually tell that they're hurting the signal, the picture doesn't look quite as good as it did at first.
content's also been pretty shitty in HD. HDnetMovies is a completely worthless channel, HDnet occasionally has good stuff, UniversalHD is largely suckage, DiscoveryHD Theater is typically pretty as hell but not very interesting and ESPN HD doesn't yet show enough events in high-def. over all those channels there's too many shows from like 2000-01 that got cancelled in a year, and HDnet or whatever bought the rights to the show and now try to hype it like we care. i think my general rule is, if a show sucked in standard-def, it ain't *that* much better in high-def. i can pull in NBC and CBS HD feeds over satellite and antenna, but most of the shit on those channels isn't really worth watching in HD.
plus, why the hell is gaming so far behind HD tech? i thought games were *the* new industry, if so, why isn't it following the current adopter curve? people are playing these games on huge HD monitors with 5.1 audio support, why the hell aren't the games using it yet? very few games in this generation can do better than 480p, so why do we have tv's that'll support 1080i and 720p? it's the same thing with dvd's still being so hot. dvd's are still a great idea, but they're way behind what's flying thru the air and into your antenna/dish. as soon as you get a 50" hdtv be sure and tell me how NOT excited you are about 480p dvd's anymore.
homelife
i finally had to move the ps2 into the living room with the gamecube, cuz it wasn't getting enough play in the bedroom. so that was kind of a failed experiment, but at least i got a modded ps2 out of the deal. i'm so much more a cube guy than a ps2 guy, but they're both great consoles.
in a few days i'll hafta start preppin for the annual big colorado trip, which means sorting out all the music/games/etc i gotta bring just to stay sane, heh. so it's just another 4 days of work and then off for a few weeks to sleep weird hours and blow time on video games, tv shows and movies. actually that kinda just sounds like every other week, i dunno.
in one last note, i'm officially fed up with my integra. it drives like complete shit, putting the new distributor in didn't seem to fix it. i've got the distributor cap & rotor plus new plugs & wires to install, but something tells me that's not gonna make the thing run like a champ. i think come january i'm just gonna hafta suck it up and leave the car in an import shop for a week to sort out all the damn kinks, cuz god knows i fuckin hate driving that thing now. the closest thing i'll make to a promise is that i won't be driving "the teg" in july 2005. if i can get it fixed up and running somewhat properly i might put some more effort into the car, but if i continue to have issues i'm trading the fucker in for something else and never looking back. 5 years is long enough to have a car, especially when a supposedly reliable car has had as many weird issues as mine has.
thanks for making it thru that one, i only spread it out over like 5 hours at work, heheh.

oops, went a month without posting again...
which pretty much brings me to my conclusion that as soon as you graduate from college, it's decided by some higher power that your IM and blog are gonna dry up within a year. that's pretty much what happened, and i don't really know what to do about it. i remember in the middle of college i had a decent number of people on my buddy list, which meant checking away messages was a bit of a hobby. but as soon as everyone starts to graduate, they all move off to their own lives and understandably they can't be online all the time like they used to. at this point i only get online to talk to a *very* limited number of people, which makes it seem even more lame that i bother at all. i think i only ever even talk to alayna, lauren and rick actually. alayna and i will move in together within the next half-year here, so that'll be gone obviously. lauren's not really an email type person, and i'm not gonna call her every time i find some link or fact to send. most of the other people on my list are online every now and then, maybe a couple hours a week at most, which prolly just means they're catching up with old friends now and then. after last year i really got sick of asking people over and over to get together over email and IM, so i've pretty much cut that shit out. i'm not a big fan of chatting with people once a month and catching up over IM, i'd really just rather trade a few emails or something if you don't wanna bother to get together.
as far as the blog, i think i just keep it around for when i kinda want to vent or discuss something "out loud." i don't really know who my audience is anymore, given that i used to advertise it most prominently on my IM info, but if i hardly talk to anyone anymore, who's gonna see it? i'd love to have a network of friends who all provided RSS feeds that let you know when they update their blog (such as a once-every-couple-of-days type update), but i don't know many people that would bother with that.
it's... kinda depressing, sorta.
