| A NEW ERA
After about eight months at Xanga, I'm going independent. I'm going to a new blog powered by WordPress.
It's really simple and has nothing right now, but in the near future
it'll be expanding, I guarantee it. So check it out.

So I hope you'll join me at my new home. It'll start looking cooler pretty soon, hopefully.
(I wanted to get da-blog.com but it seem some crazy PHP coder already beat me to it. lol!)

| Mat Kearney is amazing. Seriously, you just need to hear
it. OK, so you can probably hear enough to know if you want to
get it on www.matkearney.com.
I found some cool new technology. Mozilla, the cool people that
brought me this nice browser Firefox (which still has a couple letdowns
to IE, but I still like it), bring a whole new way to create
applications. To develop the interfaces of all the Mozilla apps
easily across platforms, they created XUL.
This is a highly standards-compliant XHTML system that defines a whole
GUI and application. As long as you have Firefox or a couple
other programs installed on your computer, you can run any XUL
application, no matter if you're on Windows, Linux, other Unix, or Mac
OS, among others. You can do menus, pop-up dialog boxes,
etc. It seems to be pretty easy to code, and as long as you're
not using IE, it'll probably work. Who knows, if it gains more
popularity, then it'll probably be adapted to IE in about 20
years. Here's a cool example that allows you to search Amazon.com. If you want, you could download/install it on your system and run it outside of Firefox too. So check it out.
A friend and I have been talking about the upcoming Narnia movie and
the books. I was talking about how I hated the post-1994
numbering of the books, and here's yet another good link to propose why one should read the books in the order they were pubished for dramatic, purist effect.

| Well, I'm happy that happened. Last night I was looking at my
movie collection going, "I've watched all these in the last couple
months and there's none I want to watch right now." Luckily I
noticed Toy Story sitting in the back of the piles of movies, and
decided to watch that. And not only did I realize that I had some
quality movies to watch, but that I had lots of special features that I
hadn't watched too. For example, after watching it, I watched it
with a commentary. 
Emery's good stuff. Pretty hard, but also very musical. At first I wasn't impressed, but after Bert wrote a nice review, I thought about 'em again. Speaking of which, I should post a couple new reviews for cMW this week.

| I found some interesting stuff today. For example, there's a little black box that can predict the future and be influenced by others. An interesting scientific read, if I do say so myself.

| I love this movie. It's such a fun time and even does give you
something to think about. The scary part is that within a year or
two of that movie releasing, they started running shows like
"Survivor". Scary.
I think I'm coming down with one of those flus or colds or
whatever. I hate it, I feel like doing nothing and feel
tired. It'll probably last for the next couple days,
unfortunately. And my throat and sinuses get all clogged
up. I know I should be doing some work, but there's absolutely no
motivation or energy to do them. It's no fun.
Oh yeah.... yesterday at a spiritual retreat with some friends I had
some great conversations about work and stuff. One of them might
turn into a job for a company, and while it might not be web design, it
may be programming that'll make a good living. Plus it's in an
industry that's booming right now... wireless Internet access.
The best part is I know three people who work at this company, which
still isn't too big, I think. So pray that those connections
would help and I could get a nice job!
