Spark: App of the Day
  • I lived on Grey St.
  • Michelle was my Roommate


Today's App of the day is again an OS X app which I've found extremely useful in that it does things that should be built right into the OS.

Here is a description of Spark taken directly from it's download page:

  • Michelle was my Roommate


The Senate Commerce Committee had a vote on an amendment that was related to net neutrality provisions, which tied at 11 to 11. The provision would have made it illegal to handle an ISP's own VOIP packets faster than a competitor's.

Paper Mario Completed
  • I lived on Grey St.
  • Michelle was my Roommate


I finally completed Paper Mario, which took around two years of on and off playing. It was a great game, extremely simple, and then they made the last boss impossible so you had to spend 10 hours fighting enemies that only give you 1 experience until you get up enough levels to survive.

Mob's Are Bad
  • I lived on Grey St.
  • Michelle was my Roommate


This was stolen directly from BoingBoing; I did not write any of the following.
Yesterday a cab driver in NYC hit an 8-year-old kid on a bike. Then the cabbie crashed into a wall, and a mob pulled him out of the car and beat him up.

Handbrake: App of the Day
  • I lived on Grey St.
  • Michelle was my Roommate

Sarah's Party
  • I lived on Grey St.
  • Michelle was my Roommate


Last night I couldn't sleep and I ended up taking twice as much sleep medication, and four times as much as the normal to fall asleep, and in response to that, I slept until around 6:00pm. I hate days like that... I really, really do. Nothing feels worse than completely wasting an entire day of your life.
