UPDATE: Road Trip Diary Moving
Tom, James and I would all like to post, so the road trip diary is moving to 10000miles.tumblr.com. Follow it there!
The 2k10 Adventure
Hello friends,
I have decided to try to resume blogging in anticipation of one of the greatest journeys in my life, nay, in American history. Myself, Thomas J. Lawless, Philip J. Daniel, and James M. Wilsterman will set out tomorrow on a cross-country road trip that will redefine the genre and surely lead to one of us killing another out of frustration before the trip is over. But no matter.

Oh no
I’ve joined THE READER.
Crimson iPhone Alpha
Might possibly be available to those who are interested, have iPhones/touches, and are nearby enough to physically connect their phones to my comp.

The NYC Tumble, Day 2
So it’s been a while since I chronicled the first day of NYC misadventures, but this time I bring you tales of the second day of that weekend. Selections from a recent trip will be forthcoming.
We rewind to that evening, when, after several beers at the King’s lovely home in New Jersey, Mr. Cleveland, Mr. Illegal, Mr. Toddler, Mr. Premier League and Mr. First Name decide it would be a...
Diary of a Crazy Crimsonophile
So I don’t really check my Crimson voicemail, partly because of laze, and partly because 90% of the messages are from a crazy guy somewhere. How crazy, you say? Quite. I get a good number of hang-ups during the day when I answer (that’s how I know it’s him), and when I don’t, I get a gift like today’s 13-message mailbox. He often asks about Clifford, Malcom, and...

The NYC Tumble, Day 1
In recounting a few choice tales of D-town debauchery from last weekend, I have decided to provide nicknames to protect the guilty. The cast of characters will heretofore be referred to thusly: Mr. Illegal, Mr. Toddler, Mr. First Name, Mr. Premier League, Mr. Cleveland and The King.
Mr. Toddler and The King grabbed a double-decker megabus down to the city after work on Friday. After a few hours...

Just got a fresh dose of hilarity/journalistic insight added to my day, every day. Great news.
More Ragtag iPhone Fun
If you’re Esther Yi, please avert your eyes, and if you’re Tom Lawless, you shouldn’t be here, but regardless, here’s part one in a four-part progression toward a fully functional Twitter client. It’s a list of people, and when you click the button next to them, you get their “status.” The next version, which I’m working on right now, won’t...

Nerd Paradise—Getting the 3G S
After Border, I went to bed at about 2:30, and unintentionally woke up at 4. I then could not fall back asleep for an hour, and decided to do at 5 what I had been planning to do at 6:30—ship into town and buy a launch day iPhone.
I nabbed the first T into town amidst a light drizzle, and parked in line at about 5:45. I’d say I was 25th in line. The first seven looked like they had spent...
The Border Cafe Episode
James and I decide to hit up one of our favorite square eateries for some good times and good food. Good times, of course, means alcohol. We both order margaritas, as we are both of age. His ID is scrutinized (I have to admit, together, we look like a couple of 18-year-olds). My ID is scrutinized…and then taken away by the waitress. We wait three minutes.
A supervisor comes back, and...
Boom shakalaka
Okay, this may not look like much, but my latest effort is below. And it has drawings! You press the button to change the number of sides, and my bad boy draws it up for you and tells you what it’s called. Check it.

Stanford Homework Assignment 2A nearly complete!
Yes, I realize my existence must not be at its highest point if this is the most exciting thing that is happening to me, but whatever. T.I. told me to “live my life,” so I shall.
I’ll stop being all technical with y’all, but things are going pretty well as I audit the Stanford iPhone course from many miles away. Of course this bad boy had its share of headbanging bugs,...
The Onion, right on as usual
A perfect articulation of how I feel about sports journalism today:
Fans have also turned to sportswriters to help them understand whether or not Bryant is hungry for a fourth championship ring. A survey of hundreds upon thousands of nearly identical but equally brilliant sports columns—penned by many different writers—and painstaking viewings of ESPN’s Around the Horn have confirmed that...
Coding is hard...I should have remembered that
So I went back to the drawing board today (tonight? this morning?) to take on a project using (mostly) my own code—Stanford Assignment 1B.
It has absolutely no graphics whatsoever, but I got a good feel for the language, some of the debugging tools, and what an UTTERLY HELLACIOUS EXPERIENCE it is when your handy-dandy assignment asks you to run a function that generates a warning, so you get all...
Life in the 'Dena These Days
Some have requested that I chronicle more “Max” and less “reblogs of Esther and Prior” and what have you. My life is definitely pretty monotonous these days, so I’ll keep it concise:
1. Wake up quick, at about noon, a là:
2. Eat a bowl of cocoa puffs.
3. Begin computering, some messing around, lotsa e-mail (more on this step later).
4. Run. I am definitely...
