Ack, no time for lunch, running out to the executive building to talk about ebooks with the OLPC / education ministry people
The books i ordered from Amazon in February have arrived! But i have to go to the post office to get them… this is why i think of ebooks

Almost 1am, shit. I came back to check my email for a second and an hour went by… ok, to sleep now…
wow, my #gmail - 97,365 emails since 8/23/04. That’s a lot of email… 74 per day, every day for the last 4 years.
Dear god. the ebook space is a disaster, balkanization everywhere, no reader will read all ebooks or publishers… kindle included!
Tomorrow i’m going to meet somebody from the ministry of education to discuss some sort of ebook project for OLPC in Uruguay (plan ceibal)
Now i just need a good ebook reader which will work outside the US (kindle?) to read them on, reading on a computer screen sucks. ideas?
Downloading a ton of ebooks on bittorrent, now that i see they are there, none of them are for sale in uruguay even if i WANTED to buy them.
They fixed my G4 laptop power supply and the mbp is still under warenty so they will fix it´s screen too! happy day

Had a long discussion about OLPC and eventually discovered that this guy just wants to do ebooks, err pdfs… not very hard after all.. :)
Hanging out with coop del sur folks, shooting the shit, thinking of maybe putting together an agile development training in uruguay

Camilo fell down 5 stairs, he was shocked and cried, but is fine.. really time to put that barrier.
Dishes washed, it’s unbelievable how many glasses get dirty at a party, many more than the number of partygoers
I can’t imagine that all the people who are following a 1000 people (including me) really are reading all those twitters…
Thinking i should try my hand at writing more academic type papers when conferences want them… what would a fire eagle paper look like?

I think somebody could do really well just taking @technoweenie’s code and documenting / promoting it. He’s the unsung hero of ruby & rails.
Big day for OAuth, got official support announced by both Google and Yahoo!
