impressed by a free course?? yeah! for once..

i took a network essentials class for 3 hours this morning.
it was free.
i thought id be bored but i loved it!
mainly cause the teacher was great
(i LOVE smart people) and …
i learned 2 things
1- the word sneakernet
and
2- that i want/need a keurig coffee maker..like now. 

seriously though
…i had a good morning at executrain.
i wanted to check out the facility (which is brand new and nice) and test the courses (which seem to be awesome)
OK. im lying. i had no desire to check out the facility or the courses…

someone i work with knows the owner of this place and insisted i be there…..but it turned out to be informative and i truly mean that i enjoyed it and im sure will be there again. surprisingly they kept my attention. i only twittered a break..thats some sort of record…
i went in kicking and screaming but came out impressed..
always good to review the abc’s of what you do.
im also excited for a windows 7 class i am taking in august.
time to find a keurig coffee maker.
ahh fridays.

das wuz up!

monday afternoon app. break…

i needed to take a breather from some SQL coding so i turned to my iphone for a new app..

iTwitter.

go download it.
its the most “push friendly” twitter app/environment to be released for the iphone and its still free! i just deleted my tweet deck app and although as you can see by clicking here—> i was so excited to use the ‘deck it kept crashing!
i have tried pretty much all the twitter iphone apps
(tweetdeck, twitterfon, twitterific, twinkle, twittelator & tweetsville)
and im still in love with TWEETIE!…but…. so far so good with iTwitter.

the new “push” technology which in theory delivers messages as pop-ups on the home screen is enabled within this app, which ….is awesome. you can also access your direct messages, mentions, favorites, following/ follower list, timelines and so much more
(nearby tweets, twitpic intergration, re-tweet option, landscape keyboard etc.)
but the push tech isnt 100% just yet…you will get your mentions and direct messages “pushed” as long as the other person is using itwitter..blah. so convince all your iphone friends to used iTwitter!
i like the interface, its cute…it def works..imma go play with it now.
dassss wuz up!

i wanna give this toilet a whirl!

i was watching a show last night about buying apartments in tokyo, japan. not only is this one of the most expensive cities in the world they have the coolest toilets!!!

they showed apartments and every time they went into a bathroom they showed this toilet.

in the US we are used to sitting down, doing our business, and continuing our  day without any bathroom mishaps…usually. but toilets in Japan come with remote controls and buttons!

there were 2 features that sold me on these toilets. they have a seat warmer (to keep your tush nice and toasty on cold winter morning/nights) and a white noise generator. this button will run some water,  play the sound of running water, or play music or a gentle humming sound. all there to disguise what you are doing on there which i would absolutely love cause i always run water.

i also learned that when you wash your hands after using the bathroom you wont find paper towels in any public bathroom. ever. japanese people carry a handkerchief  at all times to dry their hand with which is gross. i get the no paper towels but reusing a handkerchief? no no.
i really have no interest in visiting japan but their toilets are pretty damn cool.
das wuz up!
