Talking to Strangers in Strange Lands

not much to say... fortunately, anyWare, (the program regulating the amount of time i spend on the computer to no more than what i paid for) is telling me i have 22 minues, so i can't put too much anyways.  This cafe is reminding me of the ones described in Cory Doctorow's book titled for the win, but much more chill.  its this rather asian place and its mostly gamers; if there were keyloggers installed, my log would probably be the only one to contain actual text.  its pretty awesome.  (17 minutes left.  gotta hurry)  anyways, down to buisness

1 more hiatus yet

seriously this will be the last one for the summer... i'm heading out of town for a couple weeks, leaving tomorrow.  so chances are there will not be any new posts for the next 2 weeks, unless i stumble across some interwebz while i'm gone.
but seriously, when i get back i promise i'll post something awesome

Cavaets of Teleporting

Teleporting.  One of the most awesome superpowers.  The ability to make yourself spontaneously change locations.

If i could have any superpower, it would probably be this one.  going to be late for school?  boom.  not anymore.  want to stand on that tall structure that is impossible and probably illegal to climb?  no longer.  don't have the resources to go travelling around the world every night?  faced with a supervillan?  as you can see, problems disappear as fast as you do when you teleport.  but perhaps teleporting isn't as perfect as one would think.

Hiatus Breaker!

I have just returned from camp, which i will talk about in some other post.  All i will say for now is that it was this awesome leadership training camp that was really awesome and great.

so.  this is the third... iteration of my blog, i guess one would say.  First google sites, then freewebs, and now google blogger.  Sites was ok, but i got off to a bad start with a terrible layout.  webs was stupid because they wanted me to pay for everything, even bandwidth, analytics, and other things i take for granted with google.  they also have crappy uptime and one time had an outage for almost an entire day.  while both other services had much greater flexibility, but blogger is nice and easy to set up, decently hackable, and still very professional.  i'm using the draft version of blogger, which gives me real-time analytics, as well as the normal features of "new blogger", such as more powerful wysiwyg editing (not perfect yet but better than before).  So i think this is a service i can finally stay with.

Well that was kind of a lame post, but i'll post more tomorrow or something.

EDIT:  Btw for those who started out reading at this site, a bunch of posts are dated at before this blog was created, which doesn't seem to make sense.  i manually set those dates to reflect the original date of posting, not the date of posting on this specific hosting service.
