If you somehow figure out who I work for, thats great. Just know my opinions are my own, etc, and I don't represent anyone but me.


I devised a very clever highly random and (theoretically) easy to remember password for my slashdot account (protohiro [slashdot.org]). Sadly, like a complete moron I forgot my password anyway, so I am now scarred forever with a username with a digit after it. Sure I could have just gone ahead and devised a new username. But, protohiro was devised in 1995, when I was a teenager, flush from reading Snow Crash. In a lot of ways a username so clearly derived from a popular science fiction book is juvenile, but I've had the name for seven years, and goddammit, I can't change.

I live in San Francisco now, so I am living my life long dream of being surrounded by computers: two old tibooks, a Athlon x2 4200, a PIV 2.53ghz pIV, a Powerbook G4 13" and a MacBook Core Duo.

I just got a new job at a large internet company in Silicon Valley. Very exciting. My title is actually Engineer, which I find kind of disturbing on some level. I went to FILM SCHOOL. Anyway, now I am moving to nerd mecca...

Someday I will finish coding my blog. I've turned in to microsoft, all the stuff I did for Elise's blog wasn't enough and I want to keep adding features. Anyway, until I do it, here is a great article. It manages to articulate something I feel pretty strongly about: the fact that wars kill people.

Yeah, if you speak french natively you would have noticed based on my last entry: I Do Not Speak French As A Native Language. My last entry was lame and shrill as well. Yeah, like I own french or something. Whatever. I can be a jerk sometimes.

Une sig, mes amis, UNE sig.

Je ne suis pas sûr, mais je crois que quand on dit, "sig", on veut dire "une signature". Le mot est féminin. Mais je vois beaucoup de gens avec une sig qui dit, en français, "ceci n'est pas un sig." Et pire, le peinture très connu de Magritte est "Ceci n'est pas une pipe": Pipe est féminine.

Alors, j'èspere que les gens qui lisent ce journal vont changer leurs sigs.

Ceci, elle est bien une sig.
