Ok, so bite me. I haven’t updated this beast of a blog with posts in forever and a day.* That will change… starting, now!
This super-awesome girl I know resurrected her blog with a ‘New Year’s Resolutions for 2010′ post, so I guess I will do the same. I’ve never been one for resolutions but this is a new decade, so it’s as good a time to start as any. Roll the list!
- Do more than 30 minutes of exercise 3 times per week. I’m currently doing simple calisthenics in the morning everyday, but they take less than 5 minutes and are hardly a workout.
- Be more spontaneous — a little spontaneity never hurt anyone. Will planning to be more spontaneous cause a temporal rift in the space-time continuum? I hope not.
- Read more for pleasure. Reading about current events too often makes me too pessimistic. I would like to find a good fiction series to delve into.
- Become more proactive about maintaining friendships. This means calling distant friends/relatives and bugging people to hang out more. Going for beers is a good time.
- Start writing/painting/drawing/playing more. Note to self: Start blogging more often. Start a journal. Learn a new instrument (Rock Band doesn’t count).
Ok, there. It’s out on the Internet for all the world to see. That means it’s true and I have to abide by it.
Note to self: Fix CSS up in here. It looks like sh*t.

What do you get when you mix a hippie with Andre 3000 in the desert? A great cover of Outkast’s Hey Ya. We’ve been checking out the best of the best for our new Southern Arizona guide that should be out later this week and came across this amazing video of Mat Weddle from the local band Obadiah Parker playing in Tempe, Arizona. Enjoy.

Programmers are procrastinators. Get in, get some coffee water, check the mailbox, read the RSS feeds, read the news, check out latest articles on techie websites, browse through political discussions on the designated sections of the programming forums. Rinse and repeat to make sure nothing is missed. Go to lunch. Come back, stare at the IDE for a few minutes. Check the mailbox. Get some coffee water. Before you know it, the day is over.
