According to the Death Forecast I’m going to die at a ripe old age of 74. Gee only 55 years left. Then again, I could get hit by a bus this afternoon. I don’t even know why I did this survey… I should live as if tomorrow were the last day. Hmm…
Vacation was great, I got lots of naps. Road trips are cool like that. Plus, it got me away from the record heat here in Colorado (something like 95+ for the last few days). Anyway, I had plenty of time to do some thinking and sort out my thoughts. Once I got back I started calling all kinds of people and started working on some projects:
There’s just so much to do. Plus I work maybe 60-70 hours a week. Busy busy! Oh, and then there’s having a life; I’ll be playing DDR with a friend tonight. I guess that doesn’t count though…
…unfortunately I didn’t read as much as I had hoped. How ironic is it that I didn’t get around to finishing Getting Things Done?)
PS: Congratulations to all the new 9rulers!
I hate to do this but I haven’t had time to write up any drafted posts… or any posts for that matter. This week has been crunch time in many areas and tomorrow I’ll be leaving for a week and a half. So, I’ll be back on the 12th and resume blogging with some (hopefully) great stuff.
I have two invites to a very cool website. It’s called Moola and it’s very simple: you get a penny (real money) to play against someone else with a penny. The winner of the game wins the other person’s money. So, if you win 30 games in a row (.01, .02, .04, .08…) you can win over $10,000,000. You can cash out at any time, too. All you do is watch a quick ad, answer a question (to prove you saw it) and then play! So, the first two people to comment will receive an invitation. Only smart people can apply though, I want you guys winning me some money (referral bonus)!
If you’re still not sure about the power of bloggers please familiarize yourself with this Apple court decision. Then take a look at this question from a recent acquisition FAQ:
Personally I’ll file myself under ‘Analyst’. It just rolls off the tongue a bit better…
Not too shabby. The acting was a bit corny. I realize this movie has to cater to the lowest common denomenator. You really didn’t have to think much, it was all handed to you on a platter. Not only do they hint at something once, but they make sure to revisit it later in case you forgot… or were asleep the first time.
Much of it was overdramatic. Additionally, there was so many “big” things thrown around in this plot; it seemed to be trying too hard.
Overall it was fun. Slight humor here and there. A bit of drama. Lots of exploding. It was fun to revisit the story again but I’m probably going to forget how this one goes just like I did the last two. Seriously, I totally forgot who Jean was for a minute.
Oh, and stick around for the very very ending. There’s a tad more after the credits…
I think this is one of the more excitingly useful features. At first I was like,
Three words: it doesn’t print.
At least… not correctly. it’s like Word zooms in 300% to the center of the page… and prints that. Honestly, how do you fuck up printing? The print preview looks great. Then you hit print and go back to preview and it shows you what just came out of your printer: a waste of paper. Work Around: Send it to PDF! Update: Same document printed at work just fine. Hmmmm…
Outlook is looking pretty sweet though. Only about half the new features work, though. It’s fun to think about importing my Google Calendar into it. Heck, the mobile notifications would be nice too. Wait.. doesn’t Google already have that? Maybe I should just stick to Google? Nope, not until it has a slick To-Do list like Outlook 2007 does.
In short: ehhhhhhhh, this is Beta 2?

Quick! Go download the Office 2007 beta. You can test every Office product. Personally, I’m just downloading Office Professional Plus and Visio for work. Naturally I’ll try everything (especially OneNote) at home tonight. So far it has a user-friendly application called ‘SmartSource’ which gives you everything you need to know (including the product key). I haven’t had time to test much lately (I expect Vista Beta 2 in the mail soon). Anyway, why are you reading this? Go download. (Source)
If you’re trying to activate your copy of Office 2003 by phone don’t try the 509 number. It’s since been disconnected. I don’t know anyone who would go for a long-distance number but I figured, hey, maybe I’ll get faster service than if I called the toll-free. How quickly I learned…
