I got my first "real" bicycle ride this week with my friend Edd. Of course, I nearly caused him to crash. He said "we will turn left up ahead". He meant the next row in the parking lot; I thought the road passed it. He was on my right and started to the left. I kept going forward. Well, we both nearly went down, but didn't.
The Rev. Jackson quip caught on tape this week reminds me about how much it just rubs me wrong to hear such mean comments from those that portend to be a leader especially with a label like "reverend". There was nothing edifying in his comment. Gees whiz!
I listened to these podcasts to these week:
- This American Life: show #327, By Proxy.
- Phedippidations: Show 144, Moving to the Music
- Daily Source Code: Show 775 (Adam goes off deep end on conspiracy crap)
- Software Engineering Radio, Episode 24: Development Processes Pt.1
- IT Conversations, Episode 10: StackOverflow with Jeff Atwood and Joel Spolsky
 | In a world so small, I got an IM message from a friend that is in Iraq. We chatted for a bit and I mentioned that I have a cousin there as well. My friend is in the Air Force, and my cousin is in the Army. The branches of our service call the place where my friend is two different names. I didn't know precisely where my cousin was serving, only that he was in Iraq. Well, they are in fact in the same place and after I introduced them electronically, they have now had lunch together. What a small world! |
