No not the computer kind, but the organic kind. This is the most oddly shaped apple I have even seen. It looks like it got blown in the wind?

Although, I once again did not get to eat at work today (this must be bad for my crohn's to not eat two days in a row) or maybe not - I loved it. For some reason today was great. I think the class I taught today was especially good - it finally tied it all together. Its hard to teach at such a breakneck pace but I think I have managed to really put it together as best as it could be. We wrote an app based on the surebert framework, it actually did something, we talked a lot about OOP and a lot about web security. It integrated with our single sign on and employee database.

It gave me this feeling that everything was finally coming together. Now if the three new linux servers would just get set up. They have been here for a couple weeks now ;(

Okay, I just bought opera mobile 8.5 for my att tilt and I love it. It is such a better browser than pocket IE - which totally sucks. Well they announced a new version 9.5 to be released at the Barcelona 3G mobile convention next week. I cannot wait to use it.

It stole a lot of conventions fro mobile safari. No multi finger stuff but the stylus makes up for it. AJAX, flash, zoom, 3G HSPDA ya!

Just like every other year I didn't vote for anyone in the primary. Not being part of one of the two big parties it is kind of a non eventful day in politics for me. I think it is weird to join a party just to vote in the primary and then drop out. It feels liek cheating to me.

Also, reminder to self - go out for Mardi Gras next year - everyone else had so much fun. Last year I went out with (e:mike,38281) There is no reason to do anything else next year.

I just found this blog randomly searching for stuff about the army. You might find it an interesting perspective.
