11.23.09 // God, I love coffee.

I’m sitting in an Internal Affairs Commission meeting at 6:24 p.m., and suddenly Russell makes a motion to have a 10-minute break. I think, wow, we never have breaks anymore… this is unexpected.

Max and Russell start heading out the door. I ask them where they’re going, and they say they’re going to get food. I go with them because, hey, I can never resist going down to the CoHo for a little snack.

I end up at the CoHo Bakery, and I decide to get a cup of coffee. I press the lever for the Hazelnut coffee — I get a little bit of that in my cup before the well runs dry. So I step over to the French Roast coffee and start pouring myself some of that. And then I walk over to the area where there’s sugar and creamer and all… gotta have the creamer, and gotta have the sugar… lots of sugar.

Long story short, I get back to the meeting and immediately start having a really, really good time. I’m laughing my ass off at stuff that’s probably not funny at all, and I feel like I’m ready to get down to business to defeat the Huns.

And I’m still feeling great right now. Goddamnit, I love coffee.

11.19.09 // Can someone make this happen?

I think it would be really cool if there were some kind of monitor that allowed you to instantly go from typing something to drawing something on the page you’re typing on. Like, if I were typing something about a budget allocation and wanted to draw a pie chart to visually demonstrate what I was talking about, I would pick up a “smart pen” and just draw the chart underneath my words on the monitor. No need to fumble with clicking on “Insert Diagram” and then spending loads of time inputting data.

…though, I’m pretty sure this has already been done. So… I guess I’m asking for something like this to be shown to me and for this to become standard and massively available.

Think about it: You’re writing about the organization of the personnel in a company, and you want to draw an organizational chart right now. So you press something on your keyboard that brings you into “Draw” mode, you pick up your soft-tip “smart pen” (soft-tip so your screen won’t get scratched), and then you draw your chart. Hit the keyboard again and you’re back to typing. Quick and seamless. I think that would be fantastic.

Life is too short to wake up with regrets.
Love the people who treat you right.
Forget about the ones who don’t.
Believe everything happens for a reason.
If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.
If it changes your life, let it.
Nobody said life would be easy.
They just promised it would be worth it.
