All you need to know about Xbox 360 - Computerworld

Will they ever (not just Microsoft), comeout with a console that people as a whole will be blwon away with? Sequels are awesome in their own right, but never as good as the original. Talk about a paraphrase.

Yes, its 6:30am, and I am up. Hard to believe, ain't it? Can you believe I did this Monday and Tuesday as well? Conference in Gaithersburg and it takes a while (read: hour metro ride followed by a fun shuttle bus) to get there. At least I am learning?

Things are just frustrating right now as a whole. What the hootnanny is going on? Why is/isn't this happening? How come when I know I have to wake up early I stay up till 1 am working on grad school stuff? What is up with gravity? Things like that. I never have a good answer to my questions, usually I wait things out, I have learned to be patient in certain aspects, for if I jump the gun, it may be enjoyable now, but soon it will crash and burn. Yes, better to wait young grasshopper.

My first semester at grad school is wonderfully coming to an end. So much work yo. How anyone can decide they WANT to go for a PhD after this is crazy or high on drugs. Might change though... it is only first year.

And, of course, not as soon as I book my flight home I see a conference that begins the day before I head back to DC. This conference looks SUPER sweet, with training and everything (and its in Tampa). However, I cancelled my flight with travelocity once and have suffered dearly (or my mom has, which I feel by proxy), and I doubt myself or my mother would be too pleased in trying it again. If I reaaaally want to go, I have to bite down on the nail and leave home early, and swallowing the airline flight price I missed. Gr..... what to do? This goes back up to the frustrating questions section, except this time I really can't just wait it out, becuase there is a deadline. Move your ass young grasshopper!!

Yes... look at that spread! Can you imagine that was created without parental supervision and with mass amounts of alcohol consumed? So great! I enjoyed Thanksgiving a lot this year, my first year not being home. Everyone was super awesome, I feel bad though because I feel alseep around 10 and never went to help clean up... hence I am up at 5:30am almost wide awake. I figured I would make breakfast for everyone tomorrow to compensate. I still wish I went home, but I did make flight reservations for Christmas. W00T!

Star Wars on a deep level- why almost everyone can watch Star Wars. I love the reference to Pride and Prejudice.

Call me uncaring... but I did not enter the computer field because I wanted to 'help people'. I entered it because I found it interesting. Why the #$%^ do we always fall back on these stupid stereotypes of male/females. Oh, females like being more caring and kid orientated... blah blah blah. Maybe we need to break down the generalization that men are better than women in the field... god!

The Engineer Online - Spray on sensors

Well now.. this sounds a little bit like the Borg does it not? Having little microcomputer like sensors on our skin, telling us we are human and forgot to do something. I wonder if they can give us tiny electroshocks to, you know, to help us remember. Wouldn't that be great if someone could control the shocks? Ha ha, your own personal voodoo doll!
