Wow, some of the stuff my last.fm's neighbors...
mareen: I wish that when I hear a song that I like, I could listen to the whole album of that one band if I wanted. I’d pay a montly fee if I could listen to anything at any time in any order I like. Also a list on the left with “bookmarked” bands/albums/songs where I could drag and drop would be great. (Hope you read this, Jens?) That would be great. I love last.fm.

What happened to the “Play All” feature on SeeqPod? It was my favorite.
I was over an hour late to work this morning because the lock to the door of my garage is completely frozen. Even so, I’m here because my boy was kind enough to give me a ride and I just got a free donut. Plus, everyone in our office got a special invitation to go to Chipotle today for a free lunch before they open on Friday. Can’t nobody hold me down, oh, no, I got to keep on...

Something else I need to do.
Could you explain programming, please?
Him: Hey, you're good with computers right?
Me: Yes.
Him: And you know how to program computers?
Me: Yes, thats my job actually.
Him: Could you explain programming please?
Me: I'm sorry, what do you mean?
Him: I want to make a game like Halo, but I don't know how to start. Could you explain what I need to do?
Me: You should probably go to the library and get a book.
Him: Can you just tell me what I need to do?
Me: Wait a minute. Are you asking me to explain how to program computers?
Him: Yeah.
Me: Over the phone?
Him: Yeah.

I’m going through some old entries from my Diaryland journal and it’s making me realize that I miss writing. I need a new safe place.

The Past
Here you go, folks: a look into my past. It’s funny how Diaryland hasn’t really changed since I first used it in 2001.

I like the way you...
I have a lot of good memories from being on the soccer team in high school. One of them was with my friend Casey—we used to play this game where we’d bounce back and forth saying things we liked about each other. It was pretty darn cute.

Yesterday, I realized that my birthday is next week. Eep! What happens at 24? I feel like I need to accomplish something huge. But what?
The end?
A few weeks ago, my friend Emily told me she had some heartbreaking news: although my favorite Chinese restaurant (Chung King Express) got the best rating (4 1/2 stars) out of all the other Chinese restaurants around here, it also got a really bad review by the Board of Health. This did make my heart sink, but I’ve never gotten sick from eating their food and I watch them make it right...

jakoblodwick: marco, one of the Tumblr guys, created a new project. It’s worth signing up just to see the perfectly elegant handling of user accounts. “If you didn’t set a password, you don’t have one.” Oh, Marco! I’m ready to direct some traffic to my little side project, Instapaper. I’ve been using it for months and couldn’t live without it now. Here’s the basic...

The Good Life - You're Not You
You're trying to remember why you cut all your hair. Were you trying to be someone you weren't? You don't hang around the old haunts anymore, No, all of those bridges are burned. He doesn't like to share you - he likes your hair short. You're not you, you're not you anymore You're not you, you're not you anymore So, take off that necklace he stole from his mother, It doesn't mean what it meant...
Cloneburger - at a supermarket near you
Have you heard? The FDA recently approved meat and milk from cloned cattle, swine, goats, and their offspring as safe for food. And the FDA isn’t requiring that cloned products be labeled differently. Consumers will have no way of knowing what’s clone and what’s not (The FDA will consider “clone free” labels on a case-by-case basis. Though anything organic, and thus...
