'bankshot'

kottke linked to an article on how impossible it is becoming to tell the difference between the 20 year olds and the 40 year olds. and i sat here at work skimming it and i realized i am rapidly moving into this world.

people still card me. they still tell me i look 24 or younger. i just left a job at a game company in los angeles where i was one of the older developers, where guys came in with tats and piercings and holey t-shirts. i wear adias to work everyday. i still only shave twice a week at most.

let's talk music. let's not, actually. the point is made. im old and yet im still acting like im 6 or 8 years younger than i am.

i thought i had a bigger point than that. nuts.

in other news, we have the apartment all signed and paid for. i have an address for the next 6 months. this is good.

we move on sat.

also, it has rained a lot here since we got here.

Yahoo Mail vs. Gmail: Contrasting Ideas About Web Application Design
nothing really new here, just a leftover link from last week. the most interesting part is: "At the same time I think Google ought to rethink its apparent disregard for user interface…"

10 minutes later and will im's me with the link above. we both agree that its a funny article, but more in the 'yeah, so its true' sense then anything actually worthwhile in it. which is exactly why, when i tried to comment on it, i realized i wasnt saying anything.

'wow, it sure is surprising to realize that technologies and lifestyles are changing! that's so unique!' can you sense my sarcasm? i should start writing articles like this, that point out the obvious without actually saying anything.

i got away and come back and people have posted! i always gets excited when there is a flurry of posting in a 6 or 8 hour stretch and today was one of those days.

petunia will hate me for saying it, but lost this evening kicked ass. can i get an amen andru? and honestly — who here on the site is watching it? i know andru, roxy, kurt and i are. petunia has seen season 1. i dont think carter is. or mike. so raise your hand if you are. just for my own knowledge.
