April 21: Noise cancellation
Deep breaths, deep breaths. I know this is a mind-boggling statement. Bear with me. They are Philips SBC HN100s and I love them dearly. They have noise cancellation magic built in, so it constantly sounds like I am in a quiet room. Plus, if I cover the little microphone things that make that work, it makes things sound like I'm underwater. It's literally
Anyway, things are good down here in cloudy California. It's been a bit chillier the past few days than I would like, but things are fun and I'm keeping busy. This weekend saw SHDH 24.5 (also known as Mini Happy Dev House and Startup Happy Dev House). It was a lower-key event than usual because it's in between two big ones and basically just existed for the benefit of folks who were attending Startup School. Still, I had a good time nerding out and got some work done, which is good.
Speaking of good things, I'm FINALLY getting an Internet connection at home. I've been putting it off forever because I'm lazy and couldn't make a decision about which company to go with, but I've settled on Comcast because (a) they're the fastest and (b) DSL isn't available in my area anyway. As a bonus, I managed to whine my way out of the $99 installation fee. I'm not sure what sort of karmic debt this will put me in, but for now, I'm happy. Theoretically, as of 4 PM this Saturday, I'll be wasting my days on the Internet in style. Huzzah.
Alas, I must get back to work. Until next time.

at 28 April 2008 at 11:51 AMIt is a bit odd. However it follows the pattern of randomness which is my life.
