Runstoppable 1.0 is out. Tell all your friends. Bring your green hat.

Mike B and I worked most of the day today to put the final parts together (mostly cosmetic stuff). There are still lots of features we have planned, so hopefully we’ll be able to keep up the pace.

YOU’D THINK THAT THE WEATHER ADVISORY PEOPLE WOULD BE ABLE TO TURN OFF CAPS LOCK.

The weekly academic tempo this semester has been pretty bipolar. All of my classes, meetings for independent study, band rehearsal and meetings for thesis occur between monday at 4 and thursday at 11. This puts a lot of stress on those days, since I haven’t become much better at pacing my work, but makes friday pretty relaxing.

Tonight I’m going ice skating, which I’m looking forward to. I got passed over for the Olympics AGAIN, but I’m not going to let it get to me. The last TWO HOURS of Arrested Development are on tonight, which is bittersweet. I’m going to have to wait until tomorrow to watch it because of skating. I really hope some other network picks it up.

I signed my offer for Google last week. I need to arrange for my own housing, so my Dad and I are flying to San Jose/Mountain View at the start of spring break to look around for a few days. I’m probably going to end up leaving Lehigh on May 7 (the first sunday during finals) and drive across the country during finals so that I can get started the next week. These plans are preliminary, of course.

I realized the other day: Google will be the first time the majority of the people around me will be better than me at my best skill. I don’t think it’s really intimidating, just challenging.

FINALLY… someone has the courage to take on the rampant creation of human-animal hybrids that is plaguing this country. Maybe they were watching The Chronicles of Narnia while writing the speech.
