My first Blog entry
July 23, 2009
This is my first blog entry on what I hope to be a frequently updated blog.
Well I never thought I’d build a blog, but I’m finding myself constantly telling people the same lame stories all the time, and I hope this can cut down on some wasted email space.
I’m writing this from the McDonalds in Kyoto station. Yep they open at 6am with loads of people cell phone coupons in hand waiting to get their 300 yen fix of caffeine and processed sugars. They’ve got all their coupons on web sites built for phones, so people just put their phone up next to the register and the register reads their entire order. It’s really cool, but alas I’m a cheap bastard who refuses to pay for proper cell phone service. Ah the trials and tribulations of the prepaid phoner.
The last 2 days, I went on a crazy “time to get caught up on sleep” bender, and slept almost straight for 2 days. Sounds so lazy but I’m way way refreshed. I’m back to studying after cranking out 10 hours of php code, and I’ve never felt better. Lesson learned, take the time to sleep and you’ll be handsomely rewarded. My grandma/parents told me this a million times, and 32 years later I guess I’m finally learning. I’m killing these kanji at a pace 2-3 X faster than I was pre-sleep bender. Recently I found http://www.simplynoise.com and that is uber helpful in staying asleep and putting the outside world at bay for a while. Way useful….
Well now that I’ve got content, I guess it’s time to build a site around it. Maybe after a nap…
