I am organized, man

Organization is Cool

Everything is organized.  I gave away two bags of clothes, a bag of shoes and two bags of audio cds to the goodwill and have even gotten rid of my old computer cables and a few old desktop computers that were only taking up space.  I am no longer your go-to guy for five-year old dayquil.  I have just enough clothes for myself and if I don't wear it, I probably won't own it for long.  I even sorted my socks and got rid of a ton of those.  Sorted my bookcases and moved two of them into another room and started selling old books on amazon.  I am organized man.

Now I really have no excuses not to work on my projects.

Enjoying my Google Software on Apple Devices

I'm having a real good time using Google Products on my Apple Devices.  I just started using Google Music Beta and I really might get into it.  I also like Docs, Tasks! and Voice.  But I do wonder... What would Google Software be like on Google Devices.  I hope one day to try out an Android Phone, Tablet and Chromebook.  It's going to be a great showdown between Google and Apple for the one login all data computer.  It sounds like Apple has it ready to go.  I wonder what Google's solution will be like.

Being unemployed means having plenty of time.  Time to try out cloud music players.  Click Here to read my initial impressions of the new cloud music players: Amazom Cloud Player and Google Music Beta.

I want to be a Lion Tamer.

Begging for free stuff - status update (no free stuff yet)

So far two no's from my prestigious begging for free stuff project:

- Haschette Book Group says no free galley copies of DFW's Pale King.  They pointed me to their free galley website where I could request free copies of books I don't want to read.  Not exactly the same thing.

- 7/11 Free Slurpee - Sent them my idea that slurpees should be free, with coupons for more free slurpees on the cups so people would always be going back to 7/11 to get a free slurpee and naturally end up buying more stuff.  They did not send me a free slurpee for my trouble.

- Wacom Tablet thanks me for my interest, but is only interested in me trying out their tablet if I'm a member of the national press.  Typical.  Yawn.
