iPhone stuff

Hey....been busy lately.  Just posted my first post that I hope will get onto Broadside Online.  It's here on my other blog.  Also, yes, I do plan on getting an iPhone.

Testing Out Flock Alpha/Beta 0.9

Good news! Today I got my link to download the latest (and unreleased for the general public) version of Flock. It's the alpha/beta before v. 0.9. It's got lots of cool features and a really nice GUI. If you have specific questions feel free to post comments. If you're not familiar with it, Flock is a browser specifically designed for social networking. It is based on Firefox and the new version closely resembles FF 2.0.

That is all, more on the cool specifics later if I get a chance. Now I'm off to the beach!

Fun Stuff

First of all this is just funny...it's a traffic crossing box, fyi....

After that sillyness....I just cooked! I made fried pork chops and canned peas. Now that's a pretty crappy dinner to most but to a college dorm student it's heaven. I should have added a starch but I believe us potato chip munchers tend to get enough of that in our diets. Oh it was tasty....cooking is fun too!

I got some good results today...unfortunately they indicate that the thing I'm trying to inhibit with either isn't inhibiting or isn't being applied correctly. I think I counted well over 1000 colonies on petri dishes today...

I'm close to getting my tech blog linked to Broadside's website. Feel free to view it....found in the links.

Lastly....oops, no clip....ok I guess that's it!

This Weekend and This Week

This weekend I went out to Ordeal. It was fun to see all of my old OA friends and also good to see that someone will soon be taking over my job in the lodge (I've been chairmain of a particular committee for almost 4 years). The weather was humid as always in Richmond, but it's good to get outside from time to time.

This week I hope to do some more blogging on my other blog (though pretty much the only big news coming out right now is the Apple/MS stuff and that gets dry to most people pretty quickly). I might get a partner to help with cell phone related stuff though and Broadside should be attaching me to itself pretty soon (though they seem to change at a glacial rate...).

Also I will find out tomorrow what my new results are for my Histatin experiment. Hopefully they will be both predicted and clear!

I should be starting to cook a little now since I have a real appartment. I plan to make some flour fried pork chops this week. It is kind of exciting.

The iPhone will now officially be available on June 29th. They even have a real TV commercial running!

Finally, here's an awesome video, from me to you!

Up and Down

Well the last few days have been kinda weird.

I had a kind of rough day in the lab on Tuesday as I stayed an extra 2 hours (for a total of 5.5) to finish off some Chocolate Agar plates (the chocolate is horse blood, YUM!). Then as I was about to drive my tired self home, about a third of the plates "fell" in the cold room. By fall, I mean that the medium, which dries on the upper side of the plate, fell to the bottom. Makes them nice and useless. The next day I discovered that I had accidentally thrown out an important component of that day's proposed experiment. Granted I didn't know I wasn't supposed to throw it out, but I still felt pretty bad....it costs a buck per MICROLITER....smaller than a raindrop.....

On top of that, when I returned to my apartment, it turns out that the person who I thought was going to buy my fridge reconsidered and I will now have to find another buy or just keep it....or something. It probably won't be hard to sell given my asking price, but still, it kind of topped off a rather rotten day.

Today was much better though. There were tons of people in the lab (which can be sticky when there are only two seats at the biosafety cabinet) but it was fun and my friend Joe and I went to Caltort for lunch. It was quite tasty and now I know where it is for future burritoing....

All of my procedures went well today and I hope I will have good results come tomorrow. All in all my day ended rather nicely and I will be going out on Ordeal this weekend...my second to last time running Brotherhood as the chairman....

Have a good weekend!
