I’m having some great luck with flight upgrades recently.

On my last trip back to SF from Sydney on Qantas, I got bumped up to business class due to a full flight, a really nice suprise, makes the long journey bearable.

When checking into my flight tonight, was told I was being bumped up (again!) to business class due to a full flight I wasn’t going to argue with them. Not too bad for a $650us round trip price tag, I think being a Qantas Club member helped me out a bit here, well worth the yearly price tag.

Funny post on the Boing Boing site about human poop on the moon.

When Neil Armstrong first took that one small step onto the moon, he left behind more than just a footprint. Among the many items still sitting in the Bay of Tranquility are;

Neil Armstrong’s boots, a gold replica of an olive branch, tongs, four armrests, urine collection assemblies, a hammer, an insulating blanket, and… four defecation collection devices. Yes, Neil Armstrong’s poop is moldering on the moon.

Now is that a crappy story or what! Boom boom.

Nothing like some chicken and waffles to get the heart started in the morning.

The SF hipsters have a new hip accessory to add to their ironic colored Oakley Frogskins, checked flannel shirts and tight jeans. They have moved on from fixies (so cliched now!) to  70’s Puch mopeds.

It’s ok tho… they still have pedals!

Found this great article over at A List Apart… it’s like they violated my brain and dumped everything into an article.

A few points in the article really summed me up:

• You are no longer emotionally invested in your job or the work you’re doing.
• There is a clear disconnect between your personal values and what is expected of you.
• A significant amount of your day is focused on tasks that are not fulfilling on a personal or emotional level.

Now I just need to work on rectifying the situation i’ve sailed into. That’s going to be the hardest part due to my working situation in the USA, but it’s not unachievable. I just need to “change my situation”.

Did this one last night.

Mexist and I did some GPS n3rd art last night in SF’s Sunset district… more to come…

Digital logic = 0 (false/blows chunks), but bike rides to Ocean Beach on a beautiful day in the Bay = 1 (true/is the sh*t!)

It’s almost halfway through the semester of my course and I’m starting to lose focus big time. Experiencing one of those, “what the hell am I doing this for?” “do I really want to do IT/Internet?” “what am I going to do with my life?”

I think I would like to own my own business and open a little store selling cool books, music, t shirts and art. I really don’t envisage myself writing assembly language or Java for that matter in the future.

Being a slave is dead.

Anyone out there have any knowledge of binary multiplication, binary with fractional components and data representation of floating point formats?

Just hit week 5 of my university unit i’m taking this semester and it just destroyed my brain. I was doing pretty well up until now, actually managed to write my first assembly language program for the Motorola 68k processor… nothing special, just moving some numbers around the data registers.

N3rd.
