I’m on a toilet. literally. blogging on the go just got a whole lot more.. interesting?

I really wish I could find an easy way to photoblog like this.
illl have to make something work.

and no, I won’t post any nice bathroom shots for all of you.

all I can hear right now is that god damn handwashing blow dryer.
seriously, who tricked these people into thinking that idea actually works?

has anyone ever gotten completely dry hands from it?

anyone?

I end up having to wipe my wet hands on my shirt, and then it looks like..
well you know.

I’m on a bus, in ocean city.
piece of crap even has ac. my own car doesn’t even have ac. the only problem is its so nasty.

the people on the bus just look really grimy. I guess I’m not on to judge, I haven’t shaved ina week and I must look like a hobo.

ill have some pictures up later about this monstrocity, but for now just listen to my rant.

an hour drive up, prohably longer on the way back and why? I don’t even like fireworks. oh well, I’m here now and I’m stuck here till after the fireworks.

Well, I was about to go surfing today, but I wake up and plans are changing all over the place.

Apparently, we’re going to oc in a few hours, and I’m going to see some fireworks.

Cool cool. I suppose.  I reallyed wanted to hit the surf but I guess I’ll live. It’s so wierd writing this on a computer and not my phone. Oh well. I think I’ll start on that wordpress mobile item tomorrow or so. Other than that I hope to have a picuture gallery up, and have some photos from tonight on there.

Get up with you all later.

let me say this first. I am an evirmomentalist. I love nature, and I think preserving it is our greatest task.

that being said, let me get into my rant.

I work at a retail store, and we have some odd customers. I swear, I must have twenty people a day tell me that don’t need a bag because they’re trying to save.
this coming from millionares driving gas gussling suvs and sports cars. it just seems a little hypocrital to me. I can assure you that most of these people don’t even recycle.

am I supposed to thank you for not using a bag? am I supposed to pat you on that back to make you feel better about yourself because one part of your life is enviromentally concious?

try surfing after it rains and all the crap you put on your million dollar lawns washes up on the beach. better yet, walk on the road, breathe the air in the city, look at the fields that are strip mined to build your shiny new car.

do something about that, then talk to me about conservation.

I have employee stock options. I pay a percentage of my check every week to get stocks at a lower value than what they sell for. You’d think that was great right?
Thanks to etrade, that isn’t so.
What’s so wrong about them is the crap they decide to charge you to sell. What’s the point of even having the discount if I loose it all in your commissions?
They also proclaim real time trading, but yet, it takes me almost a month to sell, have it post, and get the money to my bank account. Its two weeks alone to even sell the stocks.
Real time? Yeah right.

well, I figured out what I was doing between 7 and 9, and afterwords hung out with oliver, brielle, and brielles friend tad.
insulting oliver ensued, along with yelling at oliver to get out of my car many times.
fun stuff.
I’ve changed the default theme to kubrick temporarily on the site. my hacked hemmingway layout was making me want to commit suicide. ill have something up later that’s a little better looking.
I’ve also been thinking a lot about my mobile wordpress client. I think ill start working on that one sometime this week as I’m on vacation this week.
implementing ads on the site has been a pain in my ass. but I should have those issues resolved tonight.
I’m also gonna try throwing an amazon shop on here and reviewing products. I have pretty good taste, so I think I can help some people out.
I’m so exhasted right now, and I’ve still got work. I’m actually sitting in the parking lot right now.
I can’t wait till luch, tripple layer nachos. ;p

Does one even exist? I know of moblog, but I’m too lazy to upgrade to .net cf framework 2.0. I want a client that allows me to put pictures and videos from my phone.
I guess I’m going to have to write one.
actually I’ve been considering this for a while. I want to make a very lightweight client for wordpress. I think it would have a big effect on mobile blogging if it was easier to post things.
Don’t get me wrong, I really like the mobile admin plugin, but I’m really looking for something more.
On to bigger things, I need something to do between 7 and 9 tonight, does anyone have any ideas? I didn’t bring my surfboard so I’m out of luck there.

we’ve got enough members and plenty of equipment to start playing and recording. (thanks oliver). we’ve also got a place we can practice. (thank you sonny). expect to be seeing some demos out soon for everyone to critque.
thanks for the patience and sorry for all the lies about recording when we wernt.

everyone enjoys going to work, don’t they?

I’m just sitting here, getting ready to shave, and brave the intense heat of summer. what are my plans tonight? I have no idea really. maybe chill with some frienda, or go home and sleep. I’m tired as hell in all honesty.

who knows though, I just want to get these two days of work over, so I can go on vacation.

in other news, my adsense account was approved, so be ready to see some ads on here. sorry, even I need to make some money.

alright. peace

so what if I’m writing this from a mobile client? it should look just as cool as another post. I can’t even put pictures on here because the client does not support it.
crap. and something needs to be done about it.
