Very informative article about why windows 8 works the way it does. I honestly suspected as much. The desktop is great for normal (complex) windows things and the metro UI is great for when you're not in the mood to deal with complex things or you want things that work simply and easily or are a casual user.
Apparently according to the article the advent of metro means that microsoft feels it can actually make the desktop experience even more complex than it would otherwise as they don't have to worry as much about casual users.
So I finished my first informal interview with this company tonight. It sounds good... I might be doing 2-3 month visits to CZ and then working remotely the rest of the time from Seattle.
I pretty much have the position, they just need to figure out where I fit in their current plans.

Yea hopefully it works out. I am not getting too excited till it's a done deal. I know this company and a lot of people at it, so I am cautiously optimistic.
Congrats man!
Czech Republic is pretty awesome
The only thing really preventing me from moving there full time and working is the pay difference. High end pay for game developers there is 17-25k a year, at least when I check through sites on salaries in CZ. You work there for 10 years and want to move back to the US and you'll have nothing to show for it.
I am trying to keep my options open by working part-time/contract/remote, whatever it ends up being.
I just got a message on OKCupid, apparently sent a week ago, from a gay guy, who lives in LA.
Not sure wtf is going on with that... LOL.
Started watching House of Cards... Damn Kate Mara is hot.

I like soccer, I love playing it, played it for years, and I'll play pick-up when I find it.
That being said I'd rather watch American football on TV over soccer any fucking day. Soccer on television is just insanely boring for some reason.
I think thats the thing too, American football, and baseball are pretty complex sports. If you don't have at least a majority of the positions filled the game doesn't work. So for me I can go find a pick-up game of soccer if I want my fix, if I want to play football its a LOT harder. Same with baseball. They are far more enjoyable to watch because of that.
Also the slower pace is just more enjoyable on TV.

Three solid years of work and the first alpha release of a piece of software I work on is on Friday. Of course random shit decides to start breaking now.

This video made my year.

I like all the ones I've heard, but I think I like Portugal Portuguese the best.
I know, I'm weird, everyone else seems to prefer one of the Brazilian kinds...
I like listening to the Portuguese radio sometimes just to hear it. I can understand a little bit thanks to French and (basic) Spanish.
Beyond weird. Portuguese people talk like they have a handful of black dicks in their mouth. It's disgusting. Grab an umbrella.

It sounds sexy to me.
Portuguese won't be for a while yet, though. First come Spanish (working on it) and Italian.
I'd rather hear German and have my ears stuffed with shredded cheese than listen to that atrocious accent.
