Time Well Spent.

Today I was delayed twice on my way back to Charleston from Salt Lake City. While I waited for my plane (it was four hours late) I pulled out Agile Web Development with Rails, put on some Coldplay and started learning. Four hours later I almost missed my flight because I was so into it. Thats what I call time well spent. Oh Even though I left at 9 in morning I still got home at 1AM. I hate Airports.

Digging into Rails

Since I had a +10 hour travel day yesterday I decided to start reading Agile Web Development with Rails. This book covers the basics of programing rails and implementing it into design. So I’ve jumped into programing Rails, which makes me an official Rails programmer. ( Or a wannabe programmer)
Picked Up Two New Books

Well today I picked up two new books at the Borders book store across the street from my hotel in NYC, which I conveniently located using Google Maps on my Blackberry. (I’m telling you Google is taking over the world.) So at this book store I bought a book Dirk recommended, Agile Web Development with Rails. Another book I bought was Everyware, which talks about what I call the “Big Brother Effect”. This “Effect” is where you are in constant communication with everybody and everybody is in constant communication with you. You are always watching and being watched. Everything anybody says or does is recorded and saved. Thats why you have to be careful about what you post on your Myspace or Facebook, because employers are now checking your profile and pictures. Anyway enough with the rant im goign to go finish watching Live Free or Die Hard.
