Reclaiming the iPod

After getting my iPhone, which has thus become my primary iPod, I passed the iPod touch 1G down to my sister, and she in turn passed her iPod nano 1G to my mom. Just today, I have re-inherited the iPod shuffle 1G I had given to my mom about 3 years ago.

Ah, the circle of life [of iPods].

I generally listen to podcasts in a particular order. So the iPod shuffle, named "ShufflePod", will be used as a podcast player. (My original iPod 5G was named "USunkMiPod" and my iPhone was named "USunkMiPhone".)

Catch Up With Sleep

Trying to catch up with my sleep. The black under my eyes needs some help to make them go away. I believe they have gotten worse, in fact. :-/

About One Real Week of Work

After two week or so of work at National Grid, I have very little to show for it. Aside from the rings under my eyes from the lack of sleep, I only have the following:



The SmallCar was made in AutoCAD, with a length of a little under 10 inches. It was drawn largely by eye, using rounder numbers and the overuse (and abuse) of OSNAPs.

As for my inspiration: it was Taylor's 3-D flying car from this past Spring. As for the model, it was the current Nissan Altima Coupe and Toyota Camry, as well as the Honda Accord of the past.

It is a prototype and is meant to be a proof of concept of sorts. I plan to make a "nicer" car in due time.

Up at 4, Asleep by 9

This is my new schedule. I am out of the house by 5 and I get home a little before 6. I am at the work site by 7 and I leave a little after 4. The time unaccounted for is given to arduous task of commuting from Brooklyn to Hicksville.

Today, I attended my first meeting with a few of the guys. I now feel like I have a sense of what is going on; I feel I have a sense of purpose. What I learned from this meeting was that these folks were rather informal (which I love) and that they weren't very different from the engineering groups I became accustomed to this summer (i.e. homework groups with Taylor, Stephen, Jonathan, and ocassionally Anderson). Besides a few acronyms here and some jargon there, I was relatively comfortable. Let's see how tomorrow goes.... Bright and early.

iReady, uReady?

We are now on AT&T. I am now on an iPhone.

iReady is a reference to the silly (more like, stupid) attempt by AT&T to facilitate iPhone purchasing plans and activation. Its name screams to be made fun of. And so we did.
