			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, I finally got my offer letter from VMware and started looking a little more seriously at new laptops. As I mentioned earlier, I&#8217;m interested in the 13&#8243; Macbook Pro, however with Core i7 Mobile coming out in (supposedly) the next couple of months, I&#8217;m worried to pull the trigger in the event that a refresh could happen later this year.  With Snow Leopards improvements to multicore performance via Grand Central Dispatch, a Core i7 should provide a pretty big performance increase over the Core 2 Duos that are currently used.  Then again, this may be another case of me wanting more horsepower than I really need, as my laptop&#8217;s primary functions are generally Web and Email. Graaah.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m in the middle of my short break following Summer semester at UofL.  I&#8217;m very happy to finally have classes done with for the semester, and look forward to (hopefully) going back to work soon.  I&#8217;ve been talking to people at VMware for the last couple of weeks, and so far everything seems to be in order, and I&#8217;ll know for certain soon.  However, rent at the apartment complex in San Francisco I lived in last time has shot up $300 (to $1900/mo).</p>
<p>Since Palm released the Mojo SDK, I&#8217;ve been spending some time tinkering with it and developing some basic applications.  I&#8217;m hoping to start work on a bigger webOS project soon, though I&#8217;m not entirely sure what that will be (I do have some ideas). I&#8217;ve also been playing around with several of the apps in Precentral&#8217;s homebrew section. In particular, I really love the Prepod app, which is a podcast streamer/downloader that lets me listen to my podcasts over the air, specifically in my car.  It needs just a *little* more polish, but then it&#8217;s easily worth a few dollars on the official app store (whenever Palm decides to open that up).</p>
<p>Lately, I&#8217;ve been drooling over the new 13&#8243; unibody Macbook Pro, but there are a couple of things keeping me from pulling the trigger on one, not the least of which is my current lack of money.  However, the upcoming release of Snow Leopard and (supposedly) Core i7 mobile are keeping me from buying one just yet.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been spending my Thursdays for the last couple of months at Flanagan&#8217;s, a pub over on Baxter Ave. that has a weekly Pint Night, where two special beers are rolled out, including glasses from the brewery that you get to take home with you (and are already taking over all my available cabinet space).  So far, all the beers I&#8217;ve tried there have been fairly interesting, and it&#8217;s been a great way to discover new beers.  At first, it was just 3 or 4 of us going every week, but it&#8217;s slowly been growing and now we actually have a pretty good crowd, mostly members from Speed&#8217;s ACM.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s pretty much all I&#8217;ve been up to lately, besides burning through my Netflix queue and poking around online, maybe I&#8217;ll write something again when I have something more interesting to report.</p>
