Wasted Continuum

Man, it was frickin’ foggy tonight. It was a little chilly, but I made it through 5+K. I think if Thursday morning isn’t way colder than today, I’ll be fine. I’m going to rest for the next two days.

One of the biggest topics in the computing world is the newly released Asus Eee PC notebook computer. Everyone and their moms has written up something about it. So why the frickin’ buzz you ask? If you don’t know what the Eee is, it is an ultra-portable 7″ laptop. What’s cool about it is that it is a flash NAND based computer. Right now, there is a 4GB and a 8GB model. It’s also preloaded with Linux. It has a built-in camera and wireless b/g. It’s installed with OpenOffice, Skype and other software. The Eee is aimed for someone who’s on the go and does not need a laptop with tons of memory. Instead, you can throw it in your bag, go to a local wifi coffee house and blog about pointless issues for four hours before you have to plug in the tiny adapter that it comes with. The thing that gets most people excited is the fact that it costs only $399 (4GB).

So all of that would make a lot of geeks run out to get one. What’s got my attention is this little article that was posted a couple days ago on Uneasysilence. Someone actually loaded OS X Leopard on one and posted the tutorial for it. For $399, I’m really getting tempted. I guess I should wait until MacWorld Expo in January to see if a new MacBook is announced before I jump the gun.

Not my best run. I did keep up a good pace. I can’t believe I actually went on a run. I was dead tired before I went. I’ll probably run again on Saturday.

I think the combination of sleep deprivation and overworking is starting to mess me up. I’ve had an headache all week long. Luckily, I had a slightly less stressful day at work today. I spent the bulk of the day building a new WordPress blog for a client. I even learned a few things that I can implement into my own blog. I don’t think I’m working this weekend. Maybe I’ll actually get some sleep. Someone page a doctor if I start moving things with my mind.

Holy moly. How did she get past me? I had Kimmel on as I’m trying to go to sleep. So Sara was the musical guest. She performed her single, Love Song. All I can say is that she has an amazing smooth voice. She also plays the piano. She’s like a Fiona Apple just happy. Not to say that Fiona sounds depressing. I love her, but she is on the lyrically heavy side. I’m going to check out her album, Little Voice How cool is that album name? And she’s even sporting an old school Airline radio on her cover art.

After running cables this morning at the office, I decided to do a 5K by myself. I think my pace is completely off. Looking at my chart I can clearly see that I did not have a very steady pace. I guess it is easier to run with someone. At least it’s easier to run with someone who has a steady pace. I was nowhere near my fastest. I’m a little disappointed.
