Professor Cube patterns

This is what I've been doing at work, apparently.

And a slight variation:

I've tried and failed to think of creative, interesting patterns.

Love these guys even more

Just listened to the Nerdist Podcast episode "Instagramming Matt" and at the end of the episode, they talked about the incident at their NYCC podcast live taping, which wasn't recorded. And, I learned that they actually found out about this right after the show, before they got the chance to come out and meet us fans. They were pissed, rightfully so, but they still stayed for hours to take pictures, sign autographs, and just say hello to all of us, and not let it show. I really appreciate how gracious they were (or pretended to be)! It really just makes me respect and love them more.

Buy all the iThings!

I wasn't expecting much from yesterday's Apple event; I wasn't too interested in an iPad Mini. But now, dammit Apple, I want everything. Because, according to Phil, all the iThings I already own look old now.

The new iMac looks super sexy. The lack of a firewire port, though, is quite disappointing. But I'm not a power user or whatever those people are called so I'm okay with USB and thunderbolt.

NYCC 2012

It was a blast. I would have liked to have been there just a little longer - I do feel like I missed a lot of things - but I had an amazing time! It's not like you could go to everything in these types of events. I didn't have time to actually walk the floor and see all the booths; I didn't even go to the Doctor Who booth! I only managed to go to the center, where Legendary, Marvel, Dark Horse, Lego, Nintendo, and Nerdist were. The one thing I hate about the whole thing: my iPhone's battery lasts about 4 hours! I couldn't take pictures or videos or anything or it would just die instantly; and I didn't want to waste time sitting down by an outlet to charge it. Some of the pictures here are stolen from the internet.

3 games, 2 starts, 4 goals

It wasn't a good performance by United's standard, and we really need to do better going forward this season. For most of the game (and the previous two games), there seems to be a lack of urgency and creativity within the team. But of course, celebrating Sir Alex Ferguson's 1,000th league match in charge of Manchester United wouldn't be right without the late winner drama.
