I am waiting for the other shoe to fall. When, where? Wouldn't we all like to know.

The personal tales that are being shown on TV are sometimes too much. I can't handle such sadness.

I woke up each of the last two mornings hoping to turn on the TV and hear that we have blown some of these "terrorist friendly" countries to hell.

Did I mention how kick ass MobileStar is? If not, it KICKS ASS!

I am now sitting in Terminal E at DFW Airport waiting for my flight to Denver and surfing via my MobileStar Wireless connection.

Anyway, going to Denver tonight, moving the household over the weekend.

I am sitting in a Starbucks at a Barnes & Noble typing this. When I am done, I will be publishing it like I always do when I am online. That's right, I am online. I discovered a great service (especially great for me as I am without a phone line and no cable, thus no Internet), www.mobilestar.com, that allows me to use my laptop or PDA (if I had one) to connect to the Internet using a standard wireless network card at many locations including Starbucks, hotels, and airports.

This is sooo sweet.

So here I am in Texas.

I've been here for a week now and started my new job this past Wednesday. So far, so good, I suppose...perhaps a bit boring. The people are great, a real nice group, but I don't know that I am going to enjoy the job itself.

Hook'em! - I've been waiting for what seems like forever for the college football season to begin. Finally, last night, Texas opened their season against New Mexico State with a 41-7 victory. Of course there were some rough spots in the opener, but all in all they looked good, especially Cedric Benson.

Cool stuff (that you can't experience...at least not yet): I developed an ASP.NET page this evening that allows me to upload files to my web server. Big deal? Well, actually it is. You see, this is specifically for uploading new pictures, and not only does the page upload the image and save it to the server, it also resizes the image to a more web friendly size and saves that as well. Cool, huh? I thought so too.

It is so close I can taste it...and to think that I'll be back in Texas for this football season. Now, if only I had my season ticket back.

Based on this, I would have to say that the offense is simply going to crush opposing defenses because the Horns defense is supposed to be very good this year, especially at linebacker and in the secondary.

This sucks. Specifically, uncertainty sucks.

What is not uncertain is that I will be working again come next week, what is uncertain is just exactly where that will be (odds are on Fort Worth, Tx, but I am pulling for the longshot, Dallas).

What is much less certain is how long I will be working in another state before I am able to finally settle down there - we have to sell the house and all first.

Anyway, this is a cool thing...and this post, as well as the previous one, is posted using it.

um, ok...so that previous post, well it was just posted using the blogger.newPost API.

So what, you say? Well the Blogger API pretty much falls in line with the stuff I've been doing over at metaStash.com, that is, Web Services.

To follow up on the 'so what' theme, this means that blogging can be done from your own application, be it on the desktop or a website. Me, I am posting this from my own web page.
