No that I have a little more spare time, I would like to make two social commentaries:

1. Since being at the beach, I've been able to watch more TV. (Mainly--because there's cable here at the condo.) The little that I've watched has only further bolstered my view that pop-culture-TV is the biggest waste of time and brain matter out there. Not only is it insulting relative to one's intelligence and values, but it's not even remotely satisfying. I want those 3 minutes back.

2. I discovered a neat little app called WriteRoom. And it's quite genius, actually. It blacks out everything on your screen--all the background blips and beeps--and only provides you with a pure and feature-less text editor. My productivity must be up by 10% due to this app alone. But what makes me laugh is that I paid some 25 bucks for an app that will dumb-down my computer. To bring computers back to where they were in the 70s. And I paid for this "feature" for this 17" MacBook Pro. For those of you still bearing with the PC side of things, someone copied the idea for you guys too.

P.S. A really interesting retro-site, although I think it re-sizes your web browser--which is about a rude as a coder can be in my book.
