~3000

Today had everything to do with everything besides what happened 9 years ago. It was a great day, an awesome day. The twin towers only occasionally crossed my mind.

And that's how it'll be for more and more people over time. It's not a bad thing; it's a natural one. But there's always a difference between moving on and forgetting.

At least I didn't hear of any burning books.

On Skateboarding

I guess this would be a good place for some clarification on what this video's about. First, I should establish that my internship over the summer was just fine. It was on the software side, so a little different from where I might be in the labor market after I graduate, but I learned a lot from my experience (including stuff I probably should have already known). Everyone was so exceedingly friendly, even though we had disagreements on issues at every lunch. I would take an engaging discussion of important issues over stupid smalltalk any day, though. Absolutely.

But sometimes, when I wasn't getting much done, time would tick slowly. I began to worry about wasting the company's time and making a bad impression. The worry made the cycle become a dredging series of movements. And you know, I really do fear the 8-5 lifestyle and commute. Working on something you enjoy with people you like to be around might be the best release.

On a more concrete note, should I worry about the fact that you can discern where I live from this video? I considered starting and ending it before you could tell, but the impact of the beginning and end wouldn't be there. I considered spreading it around, but this concern is stopping me.

Though, not many people watched it, anyway.
