OliverWEB may or may not be down in the next 12-24 hours for a few hours due to domain name transfer…

In other news, I get new toys to play with at work! Woot! QVGA/VGA LCD displays, development boards, and Linux = fun. =)

That is all.

REVVIN’ UP YOUR ENGINE
LISTEN TO HER HOWLIN’ ROAR
METAL UNDER TENSION
BEGGIN’ YOU TO TOUCH AND GO

HIGHWAY TO THE DANGER ZONE
RIDE INTO THE DANGER ZONE

HEADIN’ INTO TWILIGHT
SPREADIN’ OUT HER WINGS TONIGHT
SHE GOT YOU JUMPIN’ OFF THE DECK
AND SHOVIN’ INTO OVERDRIVE

….

TOP GUN!!!!!!

In celebration of my new job, I shall ask you a question. What do the following three images have in common?

Answer: I shall own all three soundtracks in approximately 7 - 10 days. Oh yeah. Awesomeness. You don’t know. You don’t know.

So… not much has happened at Freescale as of yet. I got a pager (one of the text messaging ones… but it’s massive and old =/) and have listened to a bajillion people talk about Freescale. A decent amount of those were managers though trying to get us to come to do one rotation with them and a few of them were interesting (although most of them were heavy on the EE side, but a few good software ones).

Oye, getting up at 7AM’s tough! Though, I think my sleeping schedule will normalize soon and it shouldn’t be so bad anymore (but then, I might be waking up later cause I’ll prob. be able to show up to work later =).

Wellllll…. food time.

Tomorrow, I shall wake up in the world of the “grown-ups.” Full time job, no summer, no homework, fat paychecks…

Nancy asked me Sunday morning if I was excited… I’m not really. I’m kinda excited on what projects I’ll be working on and such, but man… Oliver’s grown-up? I don’t think I quite grasp that after working for three months, I won’t be returning to UT. I guess I have a similar feeling to when I graduated. Just seemed like I would be older, have more things figured out than I do now and such crazy things like that when I entered the “grown-ups” world. Alas, I feel like I could just as easily be waking up to walk into AP English and hear moans and groans about Hamlet or play Magic: The Gathering in the cafeteria during lunch. Haha…

I don’t feel grown-up… I’m feeling pushed… shoved into the next stage of my life. I guess I’m ready, I’m not scared… I just can’t believe it. =)

Well guys, here goes nothing!

I have one week left of freedom. Then, I get dumped into the big mumbo-jumbo that is corporate America. Wheeeeeeeee…

First off this week, is watching Indiana Jones and drinking lots of bottles of Frappuccino! Then, I gotta buy new shoes and get my car inspected. But… I’ll procrastinate on those a bit.

Movie time!

Edit: No Indiana Jones, we’re watching The Professional (international cut).

This week has been lunch week. Started off the week meeting with Sam and Van on campus and chilling with them during lunch, then Nancy and I had lunch today at Chili’s. Been a while since just the two of us have gotten to talk for an extended period of time so that was fun. =) I start work after next week, so the lunches will be coming to a halt soon. =(

Also today, Brook and I received our ceiling fan. Wooooootness!!!

Now we have lights and airflow!

… I gotta finish working on websites…

I want to announce that Project: Samiticus Buttmonger is a success.

Google Image Search for “samiticus“ and/or “buttmonger“ and you shall see!

Just got back to my house from CA. w00t.

Uploading some pics now… will upload more later (including the massive chunk I have from Yosemite). Some things to talk about…

In-N-Out: Apparently this burger joint got popular over on the west after we left CA. I have no idea why. They freakin’ don’t have any bacon or mayo. K, fine… I can see not having mayo. But man… BACON?! That’s blasphemous for a burger place not to have. In glorious defense of my beloved bacon, I boycotted In-N-Out, went to Jack In The Box and got a tasty BACON BACON cheeseburger. Yeah.

I saw Robin Williams in the streets of SF. Failed to take a picture of him though… but he eyed me the two times I walked by him (I think he may have been afraid I was paparazzi).

Postcards have been sent… but I definitely beat them back home… so you’ll get them eventually (those who gave me their addresses).

Ummmmmmm… maybe more later…

Uploaded some pics… none of which are touched up… and some better than others but oh well. =)

I’m leeching off some “NETGEAR” wireless here at the hotel… it seems a bit flakey. If OWeb gets hijacked, you know what happened. lol
