Yesterday as I walked to campus to give a presentation, I was thinking about what I need in my life to be more successful. I decided I should make a living document of my wish list for future reference for me and the generous gift givers in my life (read: mom+dad). Here we go.
- Bag.
- Suit.
- Shoes.
- Computer.
Just about every week I find myself walking to campus with a suit on and wearing a backpack. This is an awkward combination as the suit gets rumpled by the back pack but I don’t have any other ways to carry my computer and a notebook. I don’t want a Timbuk2 bag like half of Seattle uses (and my sister). Although the functionality would serve my purpose, I think I would need a fixed-gear bike and large, black-rimmed glasses to rock the Timbuk2. But I don’t know where that leaves me. I don’t want a full blown brief case because I am not ready to concede to that level of grownup-ness. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
As I mentioned above, I wear a suit often to events at school. I have one suit and one sport coat, but I need (read: want) a couple more. If I need to wear a suit two days in a row and it gets dirty on the first day, I’m pretty much out of luck
I could always use more dress shoes. Also, I need to get some regular shoes to wear to school. It’s been a while since the last time I went shoe shopping
This one has much less precedence than the items listed above but I will include it for the sake of completeness. I love my Dell, but I really want a 15″ Mac Book Pro to complement it. 1.they’re sexy,2.I want to learn to program in Objective-C for the iPhone this summer and I need an Intel-powered Mac to do so and 3.I enjoy learning new systems and have been sheltered from Apple computers my entire life

Yo! Can you get your google ads to the right use the target=blank command so it opens the user in a new window or tab? Was clicking a few to hook you up, but it kept me in the same tab. : )
nope, google controls everything within the script that you place in the source code.
Borrow one of the STF Committee Macbooks. You realize we all get to borrow one for the time we’re on the committee, right? Any if you’re on next year too, I think you can keep it over the summer.
ya, i have one now so we’re good! and I don’t want to use one of the weak 13 inchers… 🙂
