This year's crop - August 20, 2007
Another post today, the more useful one I promised.
As you know, I am the Director of IT at SVA. Nerd Leader so to speak, a phrase coined by me for my former boss when I was but a wee little nerdling. This year, I have 4 new nerdlings (and Matt) to take under wing and teach.
There are photos up on Flickr in the office stream. Go take a look and leave some love in the comments for my new nerds.

Women - August 20, 2007
Women..I just can't understand them. What the hell is up with "Oh, there is nothing wrong" when there most definitely is something wrong. BE FREAKING HONEST WITH ME!
This is directed at someone in particular who doesn't even look at my blog. Just decided to vent it anyways. There will be a more useful post later.

One more cool tidbit - August 17, 2007
When it rains..it pours. Two posts in one day, who would ever think I was capable of that.
Anyone with a smart phone or a phone with a web browser should go hit up http://labs.mozilla.com/2007/08/introduction-to-joey-video/
Basically Mozilla (same folks that make the best browser and best email client in the world) came up with a cool way to send mobile content to your phone. Joey is a service, that combined with a little mobile app and a firefox extension, allows you to take any website and/or the media from a website (think youtube videos) and convert them to run nicely on your phone, all using their servers for free.
I've got it running on my AT&T 8525 and Firefox on my Windows Box at work and my Powerbook. I love it. So far ripped down some corporeal videos so I can share with random street folks.
Oh, and a quick note to AT&T...GET OFF YOUR LAZY ASSES AND GET ME 3G IN NEW MARKET. That is all.

Random media time - August 17, 2007
I know...I know, haven't kept the blog updated. Give me a break, SVA started. I'm working like crazy.
Quick life update then on to more fun stuff...
I am moving out some point next week. My friend Rob and I are getting an apartment in Mount Jackson, little three bedroom jobbie that is pretty nice. Hardwood, dining room, living room, offices off the bedrooms.
SVA is going fine. Got 5 guys working for me, Matt is one of them. The other guys are all new, but there is definitely lots of potential. They do a good job so far, but it reallly makes me feel old. I barely remember my first days here...seems like I have been staff forever. And getting "Mr. Herrington" really sucks. Its ANDREW...Mr. Herrington is my father.
Alright, on to the fun. I found some cool youtube videos and a band I want to share. The band is Corporeal. I heard about them from E3 this year. Turns out a bunch of kids came up with an adaptation of the Halo theme for their highschool garageband. Fast forward a year and bungie invites them to E3. Anyways, a link to their original mix and the embed below is their E3 performance. http://youtube.com/watch?v=VLt5_ME_2_M

Another whiney post for today - August 5, 2007
Ever wanted to be one place in the whole world, more then anything? Yeah..I do. Sadly, I can't be and its driving me nuts. I can't even sleep and I have work at 6am. Yay me!
Boredom Day - August 5, 2007
Garrgh, today has been terrible. I've wanted to just go(those of you in the know know where)..and I can't. I ended up at work for a couple hours, story of my life right. This next week is going to be hell week, I am planning 80 hours plus at work and then I still have shit I have to do around the house.
Oh yeah..the apartment didn't happen. Still living in the parents basement. Its not all bad, but I am just really wishing to be out on my own. It really sucks to be working as much as I do to come home to my parents' house. I love them dearly, but at 19 and basically taking care of myself, I am ready to be on my own.
Enough ranting about that. Basically its 8:30 at night, I've done nothing of value this weekend besides work, and I am sitting at my desk listening to music at a level that is sure to annoy the folks upstairs from me. Let's see how long it lasts...
Oh, speaking of computer, the years of me dumpsterdiving and being stuck in the dark ages, I finally have something of value. Intel Core2 Quad on an EVGA Nforce 680i with 4gb ram, and 2x EVGA 8800GTS in SLI mode. It rock major socks.
Enough rant, I basically just posted this to show that I am not dead. See, still alive. Yay life!
