Day 74: (myTouch 3G)

February 24, 2010 by Mister Viddy

It’s a slow day. Well, not exactly slow as much as it is a less non-technical day. Sketched out a rough drawing of my new myTouch 3G phone. I really like the phone and have no issues with it to date. Anyhow, time to get back to eating my cup of noodles.

Wooosh! It has been sixty non-stop days of posts and another 305 to go before I meet my goal. This is just the beginning but I’m feeling good. I’m feeling motivated and gosh darn it, I can do it!

Day 59: A Post A Day (All About Facebook)

February 9, 2010 by Mister Viddy

So this morning I finally got it. I had been hearing the moans and groans coming from people regarding the new Facebook redesign. Today it was my turn to experience the new look of Facebook and just like so many others, I do not like it. I get it, somebody over at Facebook decided that it was time to freshen things up but I just don’t get it. This new look does not really inspire me and it certainly does not make Facebook any easier for me to use.

And then I found myself running and running and I didn’t know why I was running and I was too frightened to look over my shoulder to see if I was being chased so I just kept on running and running. I must have been running for miles because eventually I came to a cliff that was overlooking the ocean. And on the edge of the cliff was this old wooden shack and there was smoke rising from the chimney. So I had to turn around and keep running and running. After a short while I then found myself standing in line at Costco and I couldn’t figure out how I ended up in this line. It was a long line and everyone in front of me was using coupons so I panicked but I didn’t start running again. This time I decided to order a quad espresso from Starbucks and then I came home and wrote this post.

Looking back on this, I can’t even be certain that I was actually running. It may have all taken place inside of my head but I’m kind of tired right now so I don’t want to dwell on the past.

Day 58: A Post A Day (Foggy Commute + Flat Tire)

February 8, 2010 by Mister Viddy

The morning commute was great. It was super foggy and by the time I rolled into work my hair was soaked. In general, this was an excellent morning ride and I was feeling pretty good.

And then, less than a mile from the office, my rear tire goes flat. And the first thing that comes to mind is the last time I had to deal with recurring flats across several different days. I ended up walking my bicycle the remainder of the trip into work. Still, I had a good ride.
