Motricity, the company that I’ve been working at for almost 2 years, has just raised another $40 million in funding. In Q3 of this year, we should be moving into our new building in the American Tobacco Historic District as well. You can read the latest article in the News and Observer HERE.

Car? Divorce? Car? Divorce?
If my wife wouldn’t divorce me, I would SO buy this 1992 Toyota MR2 with only 38K miles. đŸ˜‰
It’s at a dealership across the street from where I live, and is valued at around $5,100. It’s not a particularly fast car, but handles like a dream and is Uber reliable. It looks like it is in really good shape too. Man I’d love to take that thing to VIR once a year for Holiday Laps. I’ve been wanting one of these ever since the 80s MKI models.
Star Wars ASCII – Hillarious and Somewhat Impressive
The entire Star Wars movie in ASCII characters. Open a Terminal/Shell and type the following command :
telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl
Then sit back and watch the hillarity. (I know this will work for Mac OS X and Unix/Linux. It SHOULD work for Windows too but I’m not sure.)
Whining – Guitars
Errrrgh! So, I finally have the guitars I’ve always wanted but now they all need work. The Carvin DC-200 needs its intonation and action fixed. The Peavey Wolfgang Special FR needs its action fixed, and the Peavey Wolfgang Special ST needs its intonation adjusted. Dammit! That’s a big chunk of change to get all that work done. The Carvin was my main axe for years, and has only been tweaked once, so it’s definitely due for some repairs. The Peavey Wolfgang Special FR is a 1998 model, and I’m not suprised it needs some work. (Let’s just say it’s an “experienced” guitar. đŸ˜‰ ) The Peavey Wolfgang Special ST just needs the Tune-O-Matic adjusted so that it’s intonation will be correct. That guitar is brand new, but sat on a shelf for a long time before it found a home in my office.
Anyway, it looks like I’m gonna have to prioritize what gets fixed first. I can’t afford ~$300 worth of guitar adjustments in one lump. Like I said earlier – Errrrghhh!!!
