So, I'm sitting here unwinding, my muscles sore, from a long weekend of house chores and constant activity. We are currently filling in a part of the backyard with mulch and setting up garden boxes. On top of it all, I just submitted my first app for review into the itunes app store. I'm hoping my little app makes the cut.
It came about as a means of wanting to bookmark videos on my mobile device. I worked very hard in getting the right design and workflow down, and after all that, I still have more features I want to add for the next release, like a search screen.
Anyways, in all of these, I have Netflix keeping me company with my constant viewing of Roseanne re-runs :))
I'm tired, my eyes kinda hurt... and I still plan on working out after seeing this great work-out routine in a Men's Fitness mag.
*yawn*
See you next time, internet.

I haven't been maintaining my site as well as I'd like. As is often the case, work and life seems to have got in the way if your hobby. Regardless, I came back to find my comment section spammed. It really is my own fault as I never put a captcha in place, but not having the time to put one in place I decided the best way to deal with it was to suspend comments on my blog. That leaves me with a laundry list of things to do in order to get my site and my server up-to-date.

Internetz,
Today was another Sunday, but it was far from lazy. As you might know, I mostly tend to clean every other weekend. With Agro shedding at an alaraming rate and the bathrooms in desperate need of cleaning, I resolved to clean house today. So the day started with me waking up, taking the dog out and then getting breakfast from McDonald's which consisted of one large ice coffee. I drank about 1/3 of the iced-coffee and proceeded to play Fallout 3 for around an hour. Afterwards, I took Agro for a walk to Pet Smart where we encountered a trio of Corgis. After we got home I drank the last of the coffee and started to clean. First, I vacuumed downstairs and upstairs. Then, I did the dishes and cleaned the kitchen, as well as mopping the kitchen floor. When that was all done I started on the downstairs bathroom. Finally, I finished both of the upstairs bathrooms. It took me 4 hours of cleaning and tiding up the house before I was finished. I took a 30 minute break and then headed out to the grocery store to stock up on food. All said in done, I was pretty busy from 12pm to 7pm.

Internetz,
Today the hubby and I caught the afternoon showing of Inception over at the Lake Creek Alamo House. I'll spare you the details and simply say this movie is great, and extremely original. The concept of time perception in dreams was something that I had previously reflected on. I have never experienced a lifetime in dream, but I have experienced, what seems to be a large span of time during the course of a 3 hour nap. It has been my opinion that perhaps those that truly believe in an afterlife, be it heaven, hell, or ressurection into an eternal life in paradise, with a deep faith and belief will perhaps most likely experience this eternity in their subconscience as they die. Perhaps in that split second where life completely leaves your body, perhaps with that last bit of brain activity, you fall into a dream. And that last split second of life turns into milli-seconds, micro-seconds, nano-seconds, pico-seconds, and so-on into an eternity and thus into an eternal lifetime for your subconscience. I'd like to belive that this is the case, having experienced a wide ranging amount of ultra-vivid dreams where even the touch of another persons skin is indistinguishable from reality.

Internetz,
I wanted an IPhone 4 just like everyone else. I was unable to purchase one at the reduced price since I had just bought my IPhone 3GS this past December and I had just renewed my 2 year contract. The IPhone 3GS is still a pretty kick ass phone, unfortunately it seems the IPhone 4 suffers from a design problem related to the antenna. This only affects left handed users, and even then it's only a small percentage. Still, Apple did release an official response in which they did acknowledge a faulty algorithm for incorrectly calculating the number of bars to display in the UI. It's enough for me to wait until Apple releases their IPhone 5 in the next two years.

Internetz,
As you probably already heard, theres this great article over at Good Gear Guide on the 12 most interesting linux distros out there. I especially love Tin Foil Hat Linux and the live.linuX-gamers.net distros. I have an old Dell Inspiron laptop sitting at home just wating to be utilized for something. Heck, even the Mythbuntu distro might turn my old laptop into a useful media center. I'm looking forward to heading home at the end of the day so I can tool around with several of these distros and see which one might run best on my laptop.

Internetz,
Sometimes I feel like I am losing my drive. Â Maybe it's because my interest in client side coding trumps any other interest. Â Recently I've been working on a C# project at work. Â And while both myself and the lead developer have made considerable progress, my contributions to the project pale in comparisons to his. Â Then again, he is the lead developer. Â But today at work I got to thinking; I have far more greater interest in client side technology than I do server side. Â And I know exactly why. Â All client side technology is standardized (HTML5, CSS3, JS), while all server side technology offers a variety of choices ranging from OS, programming platform or script languages, to storage layer solutions (MySQL, PSQL, NoSQL, SQLLite, etc). Â And while I'm sure that there varying reasons, good and bad, for choosing and utilizing a certain server side technology, I can always rely that client side technology, if implemented properly, will ensure a properly functioning web application across all modern browsers. Â For know I'm working on server side code, but I know that will change with certain projects in the pipeline that will require me to do more UI work. Â

Internetz,
I just wanted to write about my impression of WOW so far. Â I played a few more hours last night and I was able to level up to level 5. Â All I can say is that it has yet to capture me the way other RPG game did such as; Fallout 3, Oblivion, Shadow of the Colossus, Iku, Final Fantasy 7 through 12, all of the Zelda series, Xenogears, and Kingdom Hearts. Â WOW is fun to play, but without the real promise of an end-game and with little story to guide you along it simply feels like a RPG with missions that are in no way related to each other in a sense of a story and whose story line itself is pretty unimpressive. Â I guess I just realized I'm more of a fan of the story being told than the game being played.Â

For some strange reason I find myself with the same awe, wonder and attraction to a movie that I have not
