I've been awake for 21 of the past 46 hours, asleep for 25 of them. I don't know what's wrong with me; I really hope I'm not getting sick. I had some Diet Coke on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday; I guess I'm still going through withdrawal.
Awake (9): Sat 6 pm - Sun 9 am
Sleep (2): Sun 9 am - Sun 11 am
Awake (3): Sun 11 am - Sun 2 pm
Sleep (6): Sun 2 pm - Sun 8 pm
Awake (2): Sun 8 pm - Sun 10 pm
Sleep (6): Sun 10 pm - Mon 4 am
Awake (2): Mon 4 am - Mon 6 am
Sleep (7): Mon 6 am - Mon 1 pm
Awake (5): Mon 2 pm - Mon 7 pm
Sleep (4): Mon 7 pm - Mon 11 pm

Scam of the day: I get a pop from the vending machine downstairs and I get a Canadian 10 cent piece back. Neither the pop or the candy vending machine will take it. They owe me like 6 US cents.

If I had a video game:
John Lambert's Escape from Thesisville. Use the Diet Coke power-ups to add code and find dotty graphs to add figures to your thesis. Ibuprofen will keep the pain away long enough to add pages, but don't get a life-threating ulcer! Total play time: unknown (but please be soon). Rating: M for extreme coding, lots of LaTeX, hot girls, and gross ulcer pictures. Price: You can't afford not to play this amazing game.

Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard. Steve Jobs did lots of acid. They both seem to have turned out just fine. [Salon]

Adam Sandler IS Mr. Deeds. You ever notice that every single Adam Sandler movie can be introduced with the phrase "Adam Sandler IS"? Think about it. Billy Madison. Happy Gilmore. The Waterboy. The Wedding Singer. Big Daddy. Little Nicky. [Brunching.com]

And another thing... I swear that I will kill the next person who makes a comment like "Oh, you're a software tester at Microsoft? You must be the first one! <GUFFAW har>"
Yeah, Mr. Clever. You're the first person ever to think of that one. Come over here and say that again with my boot up your ass. [Joe Bork]

Refering to the last post by me: Well, my good friend, Peter Drayton, advised me to "live my life in public", posting original material and establishing an online identity and building. What he didn't tell me was how hard it was going to be (especially for me). When that site critiqued things, most people on the DM list clearly saw it as that. I always see it as a personal attack. That's been some of my problems on Radio too. I'm going to take a real chance here and bare the soul for a minute: I had a very negative childhood, beaten and always crtitized for everything. I have spent my life to be better than that but I sometimes slip. For those people who have gotten back harsh stuff, it wasn't personal. It's my defenses. I'm sorry for taking things personal. Anyhow, it's my responsibility as a Consultant and a Blogger to choose my words more carefully and be a valuable part of the online community and I intend to do that. Thanks.
Update: Dare Obasanjo turns out to be a very nice Microsoft employee who cares passionately about not insulting developers. He has given me some great tips on writing. Wow, this blogging thing is real. I have learned something today and we have found a way to work together. [Sam Gentile's Radio Weblog]
I have trouble arguing with my friends, too, mostly because they're always wrong and I'm always right.

OQO. OQO - finally a hardware company with some vision!
"What if a user could move through her day with a single portable device? From seated, focused tasks to quick glances at reminders, contacts, and notes while standing or walking? From work to leisure entertaining and informing her with portable music, video, and text?"
WinXP, Crusoe processor, 10gb harddrive, usb/firewire, 802.11b/bluetooth and 4" touch-screen - all at a price of 1,000$.... [via jrobb] [CommonMe]
Ooh! I want one!
