This entry is being typed on a keyboard so clean and new and good smelling if you were here, I bet you'd cry the tears of a joy only a disinfected typing experience can bring forth.
I hope this isn't just more MS saber rattling. Office is vital to the MacOS ecology and losing that might not be a very happy situation. Of course this is on the eve of Macworld so more than anything its probably MS just trying to douse the Apple marketing fires.
So this is really funny. Check out this story first from the BBC, and then check this story from ABC. Just yesterday I was talking about American media sensationalizing everything. I would like to thank ABC for delivering the proof. The French are not shocked and the Brits are shocked that the French aren't, but the Americans want to believe that the French are shocked while this Indian looks on severely amused. Oh what a tangled web we weave!
Also a very neato story over at Wired regarding fuel cell technology in relation to the auto industry in the upcoming decades. Honestly this just sounds like a lot more PR. They do provide some interesting economic breakdowns to explain the goodness of fuel cell based cars but the problems fuel cell have to overcome like storage, refueling, range, etc. are not easy problems. GM is not doing anything phenomenal here. If some of these fundamental fuel cell problems could be solved the world would be entirely different. Trying to wean the auto-industry from gasoline is going to be hard if not impossible. Also it needs to be mentioned that internal combustion still has a few tricks left up its sleeve like infinitely variable transmission, complex valve timing, and such. Honestly right now this whole fuel cell thing seems as plausible as cold fusion. However, should either one of these technologies get fully refined the world will really start changing, the era after the Industrial Era will begin.
Today I have received a sticker which transcends the boundary of wit society places around sticker kind. This is not merely a sticker, but rather the story of my life. I'll try to describe it but this will be grave wrong. None the less, this is a sticker of a really cool guy, my friend SpongeBob Squarepants. He is without this monikered squarepants and the immortal words, "Guess I'm not wearing pants today!", emblaze this mural of our man SpongeBob. Guess I'm not wearing pants today. Such a simple phrase but with meaning thats older than time itself. I urge you dear readers to shun your pants, for they are all all that is evil with the world today. Boxers. Therein lies the answer. Sheelpi, I love you man!
Guess I'm not wearing pants today.
Say it loud. Say it proud.
Guess I'm not wearing pants today!
P.S. Pants are, have been, and always will be very very evil.
