AMD Hates Laptop Stickers As Much As You Do 597
pickens writes "David Pogue writes in the NY Times that when you buy a new Windows PC, it comes festooned with stickers on the palm rests: one for Windows, one for Skype, one for Intel, one for the laptop company, maybe an Energy Star sticker and so on. 'It's like buying a new, luxury car — and discovering that it comes with non-removable bumper stickers that promote the motor oil, the floor mat maker, the windshield-fluid company and the pine tree air freshener you have no intention of ever using,' writes Pogue. But the worst thing is that when you peel them off, they shred, leaving adhesive crud behind. 'When you've just spent big bucks on a laptop, should you really be obligated to spend the first 20 minutes trying to dissolve away the sticker goop with WD40?' But AMD has a solution. Starting next year, AMD will switch to new stickers that peel off easily, leaving no residue; after that, it's considering eliminating the sticker program altogether."

I've become facinated with basecamp. http://www.basecamphq.com/
I was doing some research on ruby on rails and was watching a video http://www.rubyonrails.org/media/video/rubyonrails.mov. The guy wrote basecamp using ruby.
Now I use basecamp for my client and internal projects. It is amazing.

Journal Journal: Compiling takes forever
I'm waiting for my Development box at work to finish compiling it's already been 23 minutes... wow. slow. Think I'll go get some lunch. The weather has been crazy warm lately. In the 50's. I got the deck almost finished finally, only have the trim around the edges and the seal coat left. All I can think about is music. It is seriously on my mind all the time. I just want to play my guitar and record stuff and play more. I want to get better, good... still compiling. ugh
Journal Journal: Death of a tortoise
Bomee died today. Today is Kelli's 25th birthday.
It was a very good day, except for the death of a tortoise. He was a part of our family for 2 years. Bomee (named by Andrew) was a gift to the boys Christmas of 2002. I am deeply saddened.
Bomee, forgive me for letting you freeze...
