I hereby declare that I have beaten Portal, and can now officially make all the cake jokes that the rest of the internet got tired of months ago.
I came across this transcript: Is
There Anything Good About Men, which is a rather interesting
analysis of the roles of men and women in society. I'm still
digesting it, so I don't have any intelligent commentary at the
moment, but I figured I'd share.
The Pulse Smartpen is one of the
coolest gadgets I've seen in a long time. One of my coworkers just
acquired one, and now half the office wants one. For $150, the
ability to have my notes and other things that I write in a notepad
to be connected with my computer is beyond worth it. The advantages
of this over a tablet computer are numerous to me: first and
foremost, there's the price. Also, I can use this in direct
sunlight, something no current laptop screen can do (except the
OLPC, but that's too small for adult hands). Oh, and I almost
forgot to mention that they're going to be releasing an SDK so that
users can write their own applications for the pen. Ok, I think I'm
done gushing about it for now, but it's definitely jumped right to
the top of my wishlist.
It looks like I did it in 54:53, and came in 36th in my age group
(19-29). I'm pleasintly surprised.
I should have sent this with my earlier post, but better late than
never, eh? The sky looks awesome today.
I'm in Candlestick Park for the first time ever, sitting in the middle of the field, having just finished the Stadium to Stadium 10k. There is a gospel band playing, which is really fitting, given all the praying that I did for the last mile. It is crazy hot out! More to come later, when I'm not typing on my cellphone, once I have my official time. (It looks like I did better than a 9 minute mile, which makes me happy.)
I just found out about The Big Picture via John
Gruber. After looking at it, I have to agree with Gruber that
it is
one of the most awesome things on the internet, and it has earned a
place in my Google Reader.

I watched Paprika a few weeks ago, and it was awesome. It is now one of my favorite movies ever. It's the first movie that I have seen that made me think that watching it on BluRay was actually worth it.
My coworker has the soundtrack and sent me the song below, and I just had to share. Obviously, I need to acquire the soundtrack myself.
They'll all at this Google Site, which inexplicably requires you to login with a Google Account. Looks like a lot of neat stuff. Now all I have to do is find the time to watch the stuff that interests me.
