A waste of bits and bandwidth

These commercials really take me back to the last trip to Korea, particularly the second Won cashing commercial.

Forty years ago tonight, I was sitting on the old man’s knee watching the moon landing. Of course I don’t remember it but it’s in my brain somewhere.

Thanks Dad!

MacUser used my crappy cellphone picture of the Vancouver Apple Store in their article. The Vancouver Sun, was not as charitable…

Well, I’ve been giving thought to what the hell I’m doing with my life and I haven’t come up with much… Actually, I haven’t been thinking that but it seemed like a good way to start the post. With that in mind I thought I’d have a look back through the vast sevenapril archives to see what was happening in past years on this day.

March 27th, 2007 – writing a post about what the hell I’m doing with my life. Fairly predictable…

March 27th, 2006 – a rant of sorts on [tag]Web 2.0[/tag] which resulted in the [tag]30 Boxes[/tag] founder actually commenting about my post. Kinda cool, I suppose…

March 27th, 2005 – hey! I was in Tokyo for the first time! I survived the flight from Korea and bus into Tokyo with the worst head cold ever. Good times. This was only weeks before I started at [tag]Atimi[/tag]. I can’t believe that was two years ago. Hmmm…

March 28th, 2005 – I posted on the 28th, blowing the whole freakin’ streak I was on. I was back in Hooterville and apparently, somewhat dismayed at being rejected after a bad interview. Frankly, that could have been anytime since 2000. Probably a month on from my first visit to Korea. That was a cool trip.

March 28th, 2003 – Good grief. I was going on about how I had just pulled my longest day yet at the Company That Sucked yet I was so happy to be there. I use the past tense as there’s a good chance they don’t suck anymore and after being outta work for nine months, I was pretty happy to be there. That wouldn’t last…

March 28th, 2002 – No idea as the first blog post wouldn’t come until September. As I recall I was working crazy, stupid hours at [tag]Infowave[/tag] and waiting for the other shoe to drop. I believe it dropped in June…

March 28th, 2001 – Again, no idea but I had just started at Infowave, not having the slightest idea of the impact it would have on my life. All for the best too…

March 28th, 2000 – I know I was in school and still in the shop full time too. My final push after a near mental break down as grad was only two months away. I didn’t go to the graduation ceremony and told them to mail my diploma. I guess it was a means to an end…

So there you have it. A day in the life for the past 7 years or so. Seems like yesterday…
