Facebook Observation #1
According to Facebook, my wife and I got married 24 minutes after becoming friends. I’m a little unsure of how that comes off to others.

I few of you sent me emails letting me know that Scoreboard was not working this year. I think the problem is fixed so you can download a working version here. Thanks for letting me know it was broken.
, I got a job! I started last Wednesday as a programmer for MumboJumbo. MumboJumbo is a casual games developer/publisher in Dallas. Everyone there is great and I am really excited. I will still accept anyone’s money but you’ll probably have to be employed at MumboJumbo if you want to pay me for actual work.
Why on earth do reviewers continue to compare the newest, ugly, semi-thin notebook with the Macbook Air?! Let me list the reasons to buy a Macbook Air instead of different Apple notebook, a Dell or any other notebook.
1. It is thin. Do people not understand this!? 0.75” - 0.9” is not thin. My Macbook pro is only 1 inch thick. 0.16” - 0.76” is thin.
2. It looks awesome. If anyone thinks that Lenovo notebooks look awesome, they need to be commited.
Those are THE two reasons why people want a Macbook Air instead of something else, including other Apple notebooks. For a notebook to “Eat Macbook Air for lunch,” it has to be thin and look awesome. I can get ports somewhere else. I can get a DVD player somewhere else. If a computer is not thin and does not look awesome IT IS JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER “SUB-NOTEBOOK.” I have a Macbook Pro and I would not use a Macbook Air because I care more about the connectivity and 3D graphics than the size, but if I did care more about size and looks you would be an idiot if you told me the Lenovo X300 is better. Better at what? Better at being ugly? better at being kind-of-thin-but-not-really? Wired says, “Lenovo’s Got a MacBook Air Without the Compromise.” Are you freaking kidding me?! If you are about to say that it has more ports then please, just go home.
I meant to write this post the day after I graduated but I was just so busy doing nothing. That’s right. Nothing. I hadn’t done that for a while. I went on a cruise with my family, played some video games and mostly just wasted time. It was nice. I’m sure those of you who are still left are wondering what else I’ve been up to. Thanks Mom. Actually, I’m fairly certain even my mom has stopped checking this site. Well, I’ve been busy not being graduated. I’ve been taking classes, programming and generally learning computery things that I don’t want to talk about with anyone because I want them to think I am interesting. Actually, that’s not true. I will talk about computery things to anyone who will listen and most people who won’t, yet I still want them to think I’m interesting. Apparently they don’t teach common sense in school. I’m a little sad that I can no longer use Lebron’s excuse of “I’m sorry, I never finished college” when I do or say something stupid. I’ll have to come up with something better. Maybe “I’m sorry, I’m pregnant.” Too much?
