i'm sick of reality shows...except hells kitchen of course. but seriously, everything i see on tv is some reality show. what ever happened to raw, artificial entertainment? well over the past few weeks i've learned it moved to other networks. not that i'm endorsing all the actors in these shows as their best performances, but i've been entertained by them...and to me that is what counts.
check them out if you are sick of the reality ones as well:
both completely artificial plot lines, bad acting in some areas, etc. -- you know...back to the basics.
what do you do when it is still 100 degrees farenheit at 8pm in arizona? a guitar hero competition at an ice cream store of course. saw this tonight:

the owner of the location (power and ray roads for the locals who want to go) is my neighbor across the street..cool to see him do things like this.

pretty cool, check out more details and download on the TFSGuide codeplex site.
found a new site a while back and forgot to share. all you ruby-ists or bi-curious .net developers (technical bi-curious that is) should head on over to rubydoes.net and subscribe. they promise to keep an eye on all things ironruby for us :-). from their site:
We think Ruby is great, but we also think .net is great. Together, IronRuby could prove to be quite a compelling offering that geeks all over the world will love.
nice. subscribed.
Dear Gmail,
Hi. I like mail. I like you. Can you please fix your POP interface? You see, because I'm starting to want to use it and started investigating the process. I like that Gmail gives me an awesome spam filter that I would trade my vintage 1980 yoda figurine for. I also like the filter capabilities that I can set up. It gives me a clean Inbox...you even call it an Inbox.
But when I use the POP services, my Inbox got bigger. All my filtered mail is in there. What gives? Why don't you honor my Inbox the same way you do through the web.
Please Gmail, can you fix this problem with you. I would really appreciate it.
K, thanks.
