“Without the fans, then it’s just playing with a couple of friends. Only...”

Inspiring
Movies. Documentary. Stories of people becoming the best at whatever they have chosen to do.
They have such a profound effect on whatever I do. Fuel for passion.

Massage
I’m a bit frightened. But I totally need this. Shoulders and back, you will be relaxed.
This will begin the rest of the weekend, in which I start going insane in many different directions.
Systematic destruction of the todo list.
Stuff Gets Done In Chunks
Or, alternatively, nothing gets done in chunks.
The funny thing is, the times when the super awesome stuff got done, I can never remember how the stuff got started. All I remember was that the super awesome stuff begat more super awesome things.
Truthfully, I have to get past the point of being complacent in knowing that at any moment I can just flick on a switch and just be awesome all over...
Sick of This
Let’s try to improve. Again and again. Something has to change.
This might turn into a song.
// Sick of *this ?
If I didn't have a company phone
I probably wouldn’t have a cellphone. Period.
I hate all cellphone companies equally. If only Internet came in some other pipe than the ridiculous media conglomerate companies… Cox serving me okay these days, but maybe one of those upstart 4G companies will do?
Just give me one phat pipe to the Internet. Where the frick is my fiber?

No Regrets
Trying to live with less regrets.
Finances are in order. It’s time to play World Domination again.
Either I do it tonight, or I’m giving up forever. Getting tired of this waffling.
연애시대
Watching it in 720p, I’m already catching new things.
Best Korean drama ever made. Ever.
TODO
GYM: CHECK
Laundry
Clean room
Dinner
Finish Song #1, 2, 3
Start on the Taxes? Hmm.
Get back on the coding train.
Java Devs
So close to open source, and yet so far away.
It’s like a weird mixture of enterprise and “my world.” They really do make up a third angle of the software mantra triangle, in my opinion.
Don’t ask me to expound on this. I can’t really defend it at all.

TODO: SC2 Keys
Oh goodness. I am going to geek out on this like with Vim.
See you when the sun rises tomorrow morn.
Goal: Make even more friends who are better than...
That way, you get jealous, and try to be better at everything you do. Learn from them, and teach them what you know.
Oh, and make sure they’re trying to get better than you, too.
Song Writing
Seriously, this thing is coming along.
Title: Space to Roam.

Ah, right. There’s this eSports thing for fighting games, too.
So much interesting things to blog about…

First Quicksilver, now Chrome?
Feh. My support for the Mann is removed.
// No offense. You don’t even know I exist… :-( But it’s okay, we can go our separate ways, which by that I mean I’ll just go do something else now.

Cracking into the 4K.
World: #13,388 2,355 points Won 264, lost 247 (51.66% wins) Rank 8 of Division Dominion Quest Region: #3,786
Maybe it has something to do with the creation of the Master league. But in any case, this will have to wait.
Even after losing 4 straight games, I realized that I really shouldn’t be casting if I want to get good.
In solace, my skills are sharpened. I’ll only be...

All uphill from here
At a certain point, I’m going to realize that I’m going to have to dump some ungodly amount of time into this hobby.
Yes, I must realize that this is a hobby. That is cannot become anymore than a hobby.
Not because of whatever stigma I have with video gaming as a career (even though that’s still there in the back of my mind), but because I’m just not that good.
But...
The Same High
I’m getting the same high by being focused.
Back way back when, it was web programming.
These days, by the look of things, it’s progaming.
I wonder if this feeling will carry over when I switch gears… when do I switch gears…?

My SC2 Stream. →
Goes up whenever I feel like it.
First real stream session. Goodness, it’s fun, especially when you have someone to talk to while playing.
And gently reminding you to Overlord it up before the supply cap.

I swear, it's the hand warmers.
Diamond. On the 250th win.
Except for I’ve lost every single game to Terran tonight. But the seven other games out of ten I started to experiment with the 7RR. Definitely the first time I’m trying to learn this build and modify it on my toes as it happens.
Region #5,743. World #16,435. 2,268 points. Rank 10 in the division, but the first place only has 2,327. Probably a newer...

19th Regionally, 60th In the WORLD
… for Platinum.
Lose one, and then go to win four. Holy geez, this is what aggressive early game Zerg is.
Or… some weird variation of the 7 roach rush.
Stretching The Brain
This is one of the sensation that keeps on bringing back to Starcraft 2.
I get this feeling when I have to micro and macro at the same time, where I’m attacking or being attacked, while making sure to spawn larvae and making more units/drones at home.
And when this happens, it feels almost exactly like lifting weights: I feel my brain being stretched to form something stronger and...

Started out rough, but kept on trucking.
Is this training? I think so.
I need a masseuse.
The Social Network: Movie Site →
I’m falling in love with this movie more and more and more.
Slowly Leaving Twitter
Decreasing my followed count.
Slowly moving towards the mess that is: feeds.
Gotta stick to my guns on becoming more and more open.
And no, that’s not a new year’s resolution. It’s a life resolution.
Stop Wasting Time On Edge Cases
Not everything deserves equal time.
Trying to master something? Become more efficient by thinking catching the most frequent cases.
Ah, perfectionism: A perfect way to waste time.

John is not a great translator
I don’t know why the fanboys are going crazy for him. Silly Americans.
Heck, I can translate better… :-) The only problem is my translations are only one way.
John needs to start taking notes while the player talks. He’s missing so much at every interview.
Or, even better. He should not be on the screen at the same time, but instead should be translating over him, off...
Only two letters.
I’m practicing spawning larvae, using this method.
While coding.
I swear, SC2 is making me much more effective in the way I interface with the computer. It’s kinda weird, actually.
The blurring of programmer and progamer.
M and R.
rm? or Mr.? Random thoughts on a Tuesday morning.
Lovely Day For...
Data planning. Wee.
Snowing like crazy, and actually accumulation in some spots. So confusing. #vegas
Turning Mouse Acceleration Off
Wow, why did it take me so long to find out about this. Totally behind the times.
I got used to it in two games of SC2. I’m trying to get used to it while using the computer for normal tasks, and I think I’m getting the hang of it.
Now to get used it on the MBA. Feels really weird on the trackpad.

Slowly Starting To Realize
Good players… run circles around me.
Nothing’s easy in life, so pick what you want to do wisely.
I need to fly more often
Or, somehow get some office space up in here.
The last time I was in the air, I started plotting world domination. This time, I guess I’m writing about it. Nothing like a descending office space, with the Wi-fi getting cut off at touchdown to light the fire to get something done.
Someone pull a Bluthton please.
Skype to Podcast
Anyone know if such a thing exists? I want to just start a voice chat with a certain user, and maybe even start bringing in other people into the call, and have it just start recording and… maybe even live cast right there.
There’s gotta be something like this out there somewhere.
Lesson Learned: Red-eye flights
If it’s a 3 hour flight, like mine was a couple days ago, which was from midnight to 3 AM: Just power through it with caffeine and get stuff done. Sleep when you arrive at your destination.
If you don’t, that’s just 3 hour wasted. That’s not sleep, what you’re doing on the plane, but just a waste of time.
First real red-eye evar. Hope to never have to do it again...
