My friend Eric Lodwick is touring with the band Four Fifty One, and invited me to the show in Nashville tonight. I'm really glad I went because it was a great time.

Apple announced a bunch of new stuff today. It was the first announcement that I hadn't heard about in advance, anticipated it by seeking out rumors on what they'd announce, and then count the minutes before the announcement.

I just sort of stumbled across it accidentally. I was surprised by how different the experience was. I was still really impressed by everything Apple is doing, but the severity of it all wasn't there. It was a relief.

This past week, whenever someone asked me if I was ready to move, I told them it hadn't really hit me. But I just woke up, and realizing that this time tomorrow I'll be in a whole new place did the trick.

Today was my second day of work at Connected Ventures. It feels a lot like last summer when I was up here, except the work is much more mentally draining. That's not necessarily a bad thing though.

I still feel a little mentally tied down with a lot of projects that I need to finish. Finding an apartment and finish the projects are my top priorities right now.

A few guys I work with started Roboboring.com, an aptly titled blog for drawings of robots doing mundane tasks. The one above made me laugh a lot for some reason. The idea of a robot going on a date is funny enough, but giving a calculator as a gift?? Icing on the cake.

I wish I could look at the photos of a specific user that I had marked as a favorite.

I watched Monsters, Inc. and all the DVD extras tonight. Pixar looks like a super rad place. The people seem like giant nerds, but also really smart and good at their jobs. It's also incredible how long the movies take to produce, but it all pays off.
