New Leather ConverseCategory: shoes
(e:hodown) sent me these awesome leather and suede converse. The ones with the zipper down the middle of the laces. I can't decide if I should put in the laces that came with them or not. If I use the laces it means I need to do the laces and the zipper to get than on and off.

Those do look cool..... Is it possible that they might be the right size so you can slide in zip them up but keep the laces in but not tied so that is the style thing?
Also what is up with the black converse in the 1st picture?

The Techie AwardCategory: work
As (e:terry,56315) mentioned, I won the infotech Niagara Beta awards for Techie - Large Company. I was genuinely surprised and excited about the award. I didn't know what to say when they called me up in front of like 500+ people so very spur of the moment I said something like,
Then I held up the award. It was cheesy but I think it worked. All in all it was a good day. Even more exciting was going to a morning meeting I was dreading and having someone there refer to me as a wizard and say that I was able to significantly up their productivity with one of my creations. Its nice to hear some positive feedback.
I would like to thank Roswell Park Cancer Institute for presenting me with an endless series of interesting puzzles to solve, my coworkers for making it fun to solve those puzzles and my awesome boss Del Reid for allowing me the freedom to solve the puzzles as I see fit. Here is to a world without cancer.

Congrats again...... I know nothing about computers on the tech at all.... But I like what you said... I also from being someone who works like how it sounds like how your place is... To me it sounds like again could be wrong but just from what you said ... That people go can we do this or that and you figure it out...

Congrats, (e:Paul)!!!
For (e:strip), that wizard compliment would prolly sound more like: "I was able to significantly decrease their productivity with one of my creations."

Paper in the ipad vs Note app on galaxy noteCategory: mobile
You can see the tool and color options on the note are so superior.

It came with the phone, I really wish you had this phone. I think you would love it.

Is this note app available in the market - or is this specific to your device. I have a drawing app for the transformer that is fantastic - but is not available in the general market.
I have a stylus now for the tablet, but it is nowhere near as precise for drawing as my wacom. What I need is wacom level precision and control on the tablet screen.

I bought the stupid tools for the paper app on the iPhone. I like the interface for switching between notes but I really enjoy the drawing app on the Galaxy Note so much better. One thing I really miss is the S stylus. I love how people pretend they don't want or need styli for the ipad but then there is this giant ipad stylus market.
The other things that are so much better on the Note are the much richer tool and color selection options. You know, the basics like being able to pick from more than 6 colors and having high tech fancies like variable pen size and transparency. I can't believe the paper ipad on the ipad suckered me into to purchasing the different pens for $1.99 each. I though I would use them to sketch stuff out for work but without a stylus, it's not so useful to sketch out idea.

What's with the popping conjunctival vessels and why is the beak attached where the nasolacrimal duct should be,,, man and that thing has inflammation of the knee joints, possibly some kind of rheumatoid arthritis.

Heh, So Android is better in many many ways as we already know. ;-)
seriously, I wonder how Apple gets away with such atrocious hypocritical snobbery. There is something to be said about their "sheep manipulation" skills.
You know what we need. The power of Apple persuasion for prevention efforts in public health. If some organization like Apple could persuade a ton of people about the "sexiness" of eating plant based diets, cutting down portion sizes, moderate regular exercise, cooking at home vs. eating out, consistent small balanced meals, we would all be so much ahead in terms of health just because the persuading message is so slick.

Strange and cool all at once....
