10 MPH is an inspiring video of these two dudes who quit their corporate jobs and documented their trek across the US on a Segway.

Why am I suggesting this call to action when there are bigger calls to be done? Because supporting people who quit their corporate jobs will systematically take down the corporate machine, and the corporate machine is the reason for all this war nonsense anyway.

Got a lotta shit done at work today, almost all work related, so that's a bonus for Da Man. I've nearly got this friends program thing finished... Well, the skeleton at least. Just gotta write Japanese instead of English and do a bit more cosmetic stuff, and it will be done. Oh wait, except for the admin paying users for inviting people, but that shouldn't be too hard. Oh, and the payment history; that should be almost equally easy.

BUT today when I showed 中谷さん, he was like, "awesome, uh, can you add one detail though?" and I'm like, "d'oh!" cause it will be messing with a big smelly mySQL query with subqueries in it. I've been writing queries with just a bunch of LEFT JOINs cause I like them, and I'd like to think they are faster.

Okay, the very bottom of this high level info on complex queries says though joins are easier to understand, there are advantages to subqueries, but doesn't specify what.

Interesting. Here are almost opposite responses to the question of Joins vs Subqueries.

Hmmm.

Sweet.

I just showed Koichi (president of the company that owns my company) the business idea that Brandt is working on and he (Koichi) seemed pretty interested in finding out more. I wonder where this will lead.

I'm really enjoying remix.nin.com. I think I'll try my hand at shredding some beats. Just not right now.

My favorite song today was The Twilight The World Went Down. I flubbed up my comment on the song though; pretty funny:

Dude that was hella dope

BUT I was like, Oh Shit!!! in a great way when the last
song kicked in

but then I was like OH NOES!! when it faded out!!!

Do you have 100Geigs of RAM to mix it a bit longer???
