With regards to smartphones I'm currently displaying very strong leapfrog behaviour

give me a week to play with it and i'll write a review. I don't even own a smart phone so I have no idea what I'm doing.

My initial impression is that the screen is gorgeous and there's a lot of potential for games, and I like the OS a lot. But I need to spend a bunch of time and find out what kinds of cool apps I can get.

Most states I've been in in a a singe day is the coast from Maine down to (southern) Virginia — not just driving through, stopping to look at birds in most of them. (iirc it was dark by the time I got to Virginia, but i did camp out there so that counts imo.) Included RI because I made a detour for that.

I'm not sure how many that is — I think it's ME/NH/MA/RI/CT/NY/NJ/DE/MD/(DC)/VA.

It's not all that hard to do more if you're trying, I guess, but this was really just be accident (except for Rhode Island).

*looks up what a Xoom is*

Oh I see. Yeah, if it's half as good as an iPad it's a fun toy. That Flash is going to mutilate your battery though.

I'll give you $500.

j/k - I look forward to your comments about it. I think flash is being released in the next couple weeks.

Have fun!

unless you want to go to RI, there's no reason to drive through RI from ME to VA

So I met a dude last night who apparently is pretty good friends with Tokyo and Tokyo's girlfriend. Just discovered this upon accepting his friend request on facebook. Weird ****.

Professor, I appreciate that you are allowing me to do the assignment over. Sorry for the delay as I had not planned to have too much internet available during my first few days of Spring Break. I should have time tonight however. Hope you have a nice break.

A little update on Owen, who's been doing really well recently

(Background for those who don't know - he has a genetic disorder, which causes low IQ, general developmental delays and makes him non-verbal)

- He's learned the sign language for "more" and "all done". He regularly asks for "more" tickles and bottle, and says he's "all done" with his therapy
- He can get up on all fours, and is very close to crawling
- He can sit on his own for a long time, without needing to tripod (use a hand for support)
- He can get around on his own in his walker, so he can play with his friends at daycare
- Just today he said "Dada, ba ba", which is "daddy, bottle", while I was working. I can't overemphasize how huge this is. It's basically beyond what the doctor claims he should be able to express verbally. He shouldn't be capable of putting together two words to form a thought. So that's really exciting. (Note: He will be able to communicate fully with sign language, and hear and understand language, it's just his verbal communications that are limited)

Updated xoom liveblog: angry birds man, angry birds.

Also i'm on insane life tilt today because our stock price hit a new high and I made the mistake of thinking about it and I realized that if I had held onto the stock options that I got when I started instead of exercising them all a few years ago they'd be worth like 38k today. (I sold for like 7)

oh god the pain

Indeed. The sign language in particular sounds like a nice tool for him.
