iPhone Ocarina
Remember Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time? Remember when Link played the Song of Time? Remember wishing you had your very own Magic Ocarina? Now you can!
$0.99 for a musical instrument that I can fit in my pocket and play anywhere? Deal.

Patrick: The one-subject, 80-page, "earthbound" notebooks sold in the university bookstore are $0.01 less per-page than the three-subject version with 120 pages.
Patrick: I know because I did the math in the store before buying one.
Kelsey: I... I have no words
Patrick: You can thank me later.
One of the bus drivers for my route home from University is a real grouch.
He totally doesn’t stop for people running for the bus, nor does he let people off early when we’re trapped in traffic.
Grrr.
Happy American Thanksgiving, America!
We backward Canadians had ours a month ago.

If you’ve ever wanted to read such classics as “The Art of War”, “A Tale of Two Cities”, and many others, why not read them (for free) as .pdf files? Hell, if you have one of these, you can read them anywhere!
This discovery makes me want an eBook reader. The iPhone has apps that support eBooks, but I think reading from its backlit screen would grow tiresome.
Edit:...
Today is a snowy day. It’s at least two-thirds coverage.
It’s one of those weeks where I’m outrageously busy at all times, yet the Internet always finds me.

There’s a certain satisfaction that comes from being “finished” after seven long hours of collaborative writing.
Let’s never do that again.

Totally wiped out this morning. Destroyed my travel mug; was late for class.

Never, ever, EVER lose your iPhone. EVER.
My friend learned the hard way. Telecommunication companies are in it to screw their customers. Want to buy a new iPhone that someone stole from you? Yeah. You can’t. You have to either buy a different phone, or cancel your current contract, pay the cancelation fee, sign up for a new contract, and buy a new phone.
Stupid.

Dear moron on the bus,
Nobody thinks it’s funny when you yell at passing pedestrians that you happen to know and hate, or when you yell at the bus driver, or when you remove the panel for the emergency knob for the back door when we’re stopped at an intersection. Honestly, that sort of attitude is the kind of thing that makes me question humanity’s ability to produce sentient...
I’ve been playing Lux Touch on the iPhone all day. It’s crazy addictive. Now I remember why I love playing “Risk” and why everybody stopped wanting to play with me.

I have come to the realization that the next few weeks are remarkably busy. Within the space of the next three weeks, I need to write three different papers and projects, write three quizzes, and start prepping for final exams which begin on December 8th. It’s going to be a fantastic challange and I’m stoked to see how everything turns out.
Dear world,
Thanks for making everything...
Tonight was the birthday party of my friends Ryan and Cameron. The highlight was bar trivia and the discussion of the formula for “momentum”. Momentum is a function of mass and velocity, yo.
Trivia stumper: In the Lord of the Rings, the name of the tavern in Bree is…? Despite the elaborate collection of nerds at the table, we all got this one wrong. We were so ashamed.
Keep...
Definitely had a fire in our office building tonight.
Fire alarm goes off, we get all our customers out of the building, and four firetrucks show up. Apparently, one of the motors in the elevators burned out and caused a small fire. Nobody was harmed and I don’t think the damage was too severe.
Firetrucks are awesome up close!!

I think we have all just witnessed one of those moments in history that really stand out; a moment in history that is witnessed only once in a lifetime if one is fortunate enough. I think we’re going to look back on this day, November 4th, 2008, as one of the defining days in our lifetime.
It’s a really exciting time, America. You guys did us proud. Congratulations.
Dear America,
Today is a big day for you. Good luck, and be sure to have fun. We’ll be watching.
Sincerely,
Canada.
I’m pretty sure that the only vehicle anybody really needs is a bicycle. Maybe a scooter to go long distances. I want to live in a climate that makes this kind of dream possible year-round with less risk of icky things like frostbite in the dead of winter.
