Ramblings of a twenty-something year old business innovator and tech geek, among other things.
I finally decided to take a little walk around the beautiful beach town I now call home. There is a walk/run/bike path along the coast a few blocks from my house so I followed it to the wharf, Cannery Row, and The Monterey Bay Aquarium. It goes much further but that was just today’s adventure. Can’t wait to explore more of the town.
Definitely will be following along with this project. So rad.
Every morning I get up and make breakfast. I must be addicted to breakfast. It’s usually egg whites, which means I must be addicted to those too. I then make my bed. Guess I’m addicted to making my bed. Every single day I brush my teeth, take a shower, check my e-mail (and snail mail), go to the gym, drinks lots of water, drive my car, put on my shoes, talk on the phone, wear my sunglasses, and listen to music. Obviously, I must be addicted to each and every one of those things. No? Well, that seems to be the logic of the media today based on a report by Retrevo.
While Words With Friends is one of my favorite iPhone pastimes it has its fair share of issues. Lengthy loading times, freezing, and crashing are not uncommon for this app. It looks like there is finally an anouncement letting users know the developers are aware of the problem and are trying to fix a bug when it arises. Good first step to retaining players of the game. Next would be to eliminate the problems altogether.
Robert Novak’s 600 some-odd paged memoir, The Price of Darkness, gives a fascinating look behind the scenes of doing business in Washington. While his personal views were a bit too far to the right for my liking, the perspective he provided as a political journalist for fifty years was incredibly insightful. One of the most astounding takeaways from the book is the amount of back room dealing that takes place not just between the politicians themselves but with the reporters they deal with. It gives a whole new meaning to seeing the words “top level aide” or a “senior administration official” who is speaking “on the condition of anonymity.” Chances are those sources are extremely high ranking Senators, Congressmen/women, or cabinet members. Sometimes the information comes directly from the President himself through one of those people.
