Back in Corvallis now, having successfully completed my internship. It was a satisfying experience since I had completed projects that will actually get used. I wish I had been able to get to know more people since I was trying to Get Stuff Done™ most of the time and didn’t do much watercoolering. The whole thing kind of had the opposite arc of my previous internship. In that one my lunches became more of an event towards the end whereas with this one I did more stuff at the beginning and gradually people left to go back to school until it was just me doing work work work.

I really don’t know of my chances of getting a fulltime position. You may have read about what’s happening in the news. There will still be hiring done next year (to not continue hiring fresh blood would be dumb) but I don’t know how much they need a web guy. At least my manager poked around to see what can be done to get me a position, but time still has to tell and is keeping her cards close to the vest.

Also, MacBook Pro, hey! So far so good. Parallels is neat.

Correction: The radio show will now be on Wednesdays from 6-8pm. Monday evenings may be that much more unbearable but at least Hump Day will fly by.

The radio funstravaganza rolls on! Mondays from 6-8pm, sports racers, on your favorite local college radio station starting next week. With Quicktime streaming, when it’s working.

Hello blog. You’re looking better these days than you had been. Certainly more cheery. Keep on doing whatever it is you’ve been doing.

Remote apartment hunting sucks. If you know of some unoccupied space where I can park myself for a few months, please let me know.

I bought a MacBook Pro yesterday online. I was hoping Mr. Steven P. Jobs would slip in something about the laptops getting an upgrade to Merom, or maybe they’d just do it without telling anyone amidst all the iPod hoopla, but nothing. I’d like to get set up before school starts so I just went for it. There’s always the 15 return policy in case a new version with exciting new features comes out. In other words, look for the MacBook Pro Special Edition around the end of the month.

My summer classes are finally over as of the end of last week. They ended up being compelling evidence for the value of being able to write a passable essay in a few hours over skills like “remembering when stuff is due and working up the willpower to do it”.

Finally, check out this music video by Klaus Nomi. You may not want to watch it at work. I’m not saying it will get you fired, but you may no longer be on the fast track to an executive position within the company, if you know what I’m saying.
