Bus'ted transportation system

So I decided to start taking the bus. Seems like a weird decision to make after just buying a new car 6 months ago, but for me it feels like I'm finally doing what is logical when it comes to transportation. (anybody that knows me knows I prefer to do what's logical) Obviously there are certain conflicts with soccer, but I'm planning on taking the bus whenever I dont have conflicts in the evening..... should be 2 or 3 days a week. Besides, I figure there is ~10 bucks a day I can save by taking the bus.

Simple decision, but so far it has been pretty painful.

Morning 1:

• Bus scheduled to arrive at 8:18
  
• Leave my place at 8:07
• Arrive at bus-stop at 8:16 -> Bus was 3 minutes early and I missed it.
  
• Arrive at work 30 minutes late.

Morning 2:

• Bus scheduled to arrive at 8:18
• Leave my place at 8
• Bus is 10 minutes later that usual -> Miss transfer at bus station.
  
• Arrive at work 30 minutes late.
  

Morning 3:
TBD

Oh what great fun it is standing outside in the cold when I could be in my nice new car with heated seats!

First Post

Well decided to start a blog since it seems like everybody in the world has one these days. I have a development blog going for problems I have solved in the programming world but not a personal blog. Well at the very least, I can use this more like a journal and keep track of my thoughts over the years. (we'll see if this holds up)

Lately I've just been into the post-holidays work-only schedule. The exciting thing for this week though was that apple had a press event when they were supposed to make some pretty big announcments.

Recap:

----From a iphone user's perspective----
Great new features:

• "Here I am" locator for the mapping application

Ok features:

• Homepage that allows multiple tabs of data.
  

----From an investor's perspective----
Like the idea of rentable movies. Few annoying things though:
1. Movies only available for 24 hours following first watch
2. Movies not viewable outside of apple devices (iphone, itunes, mactv)
Overall: Makes me wonder what the point is?? Only hardcore apple fans are going to own the devices to handle all this info. Maybe Steve Jobs can push the movie industry into using DRM so I can watch the freakin thing on my Media Center Extender....?
