It’s been out for a few days and while i haven’t yet figured out how to synch google calendar with outlook 2003 i’m sure someone will post a work around on digg or slashdot or on one of the forums i visit. Anyways it’s great that it’s all ajaxy so you don’t have to refresh or visit seperate pages. Also the way it conforms to your screen resolution is really really cool
I’m loving google calendar
A note to my fellow computer users

As people in attendance we played several rounds of the card game mao to the point of utter confusion where no one survived a round with at having to take penalty cards. Aaron supprised me with 20 bottles 40 bottles of coke blak (see review), and Lee got me some almond mints, and jamie got me a polo shirt, and sharon baked me an apple pie for my b-day as i don’t like cake. Tomorrow i get beef provencale and some Cabernet Sauvignon for my birthday dinner.
3 parties 3 days
My sister pointed out yesterday that i am going to have 3 birthday parties this weekend 1 on friday with friends, 1 on sautrday (my actual birthday) which will be my family dinner in which i get to pick whatever i want to eat, and one on sunday with family. I don’t know why but for some reason i’m totally excited for my birthday this year even though the only things i really want are dress socks a hammer and a NLT bible :p.
Talked to a journalist today about filing my taxes online.
Her name was Vauhini and i had a phone interview with her after trading a few emails. She is writing a story for the wall street journal on young people filing taxes on line and since i filed early unlike a lot of my bretheren i was qualified to answer her questions. In my previous post i gave a short review of what i thought about it and i guess somehow she found my website and used my contact form to reach me. I of course am excited that a *real* journalist would want to interview little old me :p. Now i’m trying not to get my hopes up as the whole 15 minute interview could turn into a 7 word quote but at least it wasn’t the stupid TV news which i hate.
AT&T built surveillance rooms for the NSA
Wired News: AT&T Seeks to Hide Spy Docs
AT&T is seeking the return of technical documents presented in a lawsuit that allegedly detail how the telecom giant helped the government set up a massive internet wiretap operation in its San Francisco facilities.
Good to know that even private business will fold when the government asks them too
And after another dissappointing (for me) lost episode some totally inapproprate lost jokes.
So some guys at a message board i have been posting at have been joking that locke is gay and have been creating some spoof images and here they are:

The gospel of judas
First of all this week is going really fast for me, but anyways we looked at the gospel of judas tonight and with some certantiy i can say that it is definately a gnostic text and definatly is not cannonical. Despite what the news media is saying this is definately not of christian origin.
