LinkedInDay 25 : Your day, in great detail
Previously: Day 24 : Photo of the Pet
12:00 AM – Woot Off! Really, what else needs to be said
2:00 AM – Purchased my domain name! I’m really quite excited! You can now get to my blog from byronasaurus.com. It is a bit silly, but I like it, and I hope you do too! Unfortunately, that URL is only a redirect, but I’m working on getting it to be the top level!
9:30 AM – Woke up this morning, fairly late. I had this really interesting dream. I had a really long “brick loft” style studio, with a gallery window. It was on the first floor and right next to a cafe i frequented often. Man, if only that was my place – that was really cool! Unfortunately, dream. Internet-ed for a while, because that is what I love.
11:00 AM – Got hungry, made myself three slices of wheat toast with Nutella. Seriously, if you don’t like Nutella – oh wait, that’s nobody! Ha! Watched NCIS: LA. It was dramatic, as usual. Still fun, though.
12:30 PM – Some more internet! There is a lot of internet to do this week, because TechCrunch Disrupt is currently happening in NY! I’m not really following it as closely as I would follow TC50, though, by virtue of “I’m not there.” Also, school kind of takes a lot of time.
1:00 PM – Showered, because having classes late in the day allow me to do it. Also, because I was hoping that someone would want to play tennis with me in the morning. No such luck!
1:30 PM – Leftover pizza from previous nights! It actually was really quite delicious. Pizza is always a success, I think. Well, not always, but it is easy to be a success. Also watched some Digimon: Data Squad, because that is how I roll. Also, because I’ve watched the first 4 seasons earlier this quarter. I’m not really making myself look to good here am I?
3:00 PM – Went to Tech to scan my drivers license for some stuff. Bumped into Chiarng napping outside, because evidently it is too cold inside Tech. Apparently he has class with Ryan, Mike, and perhaps Erick. Also found Zach, John, and Stacy in Tech Lab, and passed by Grace in her Bio lab. So many people!
3:30 PM – Had a guest lecture for NUvention – the Vice President of Product Development at Groupon, Suneel Gupta! He’s a pretty cool guy, and he had a lot of good words to say to us about the entrepreneurship space. He was very adamant about his last point: When making decisions, go ahead and take that risk. Very characteristic of this generation of entrepreneurs – all the good ones stick their necks out.
7:00 PM – Dinner cooking time! On the menu tonight: Mustard Pan Friend Detroit Style Chicken and Mixed Vegetables with Goose Island Summertime. The chicken isn’t really that fancy – its the same hot sauce as last time, and chicken breast that was pan fried in mustard instead of BBQ/Basted with honey.
9:00 PM – Prepared the tour for my team’s (Enthusiast Apps) demonstration for a client tomorrow. I went through and found various interesting tidbits (ok, maybe just one) that would be useful for demo.
11:03 PM – Now. I’ll probably be up for another 2-3 hours, just poking around at the internet and/or homework. I need to plan the remainder of the week too, since lots of fun stuff is coming up!

Day 21 : Most Handsome/Beautiful person to you
Previously: Day 20 : Odd habit of yours
Ga-In of Brown Eyed Girls. She has the most amazing eyes. It is the crazy. Also, when she smiles, it just seems so genuine, it makes me melt. I wish that I had those features – I feel like I just appear really disingenuous sometimes, even when I’m trying to be totally honest about my happiness.
Matthew Mitcham – Australian Olympic Gold Medalist Diver. He is a diver. By definition, he has a good body that I would probably kill for. Makes me wish that I had been a diver, been really good, and then gotten famous. But maybe more on that later.
Short post today, by virtue of me having been playing this evening (woo pizza!) I do believe that my apartment was cleaner after people left than before they came. Awesome!

Day 19 : Pic / video / etc of something inspiring
Previously: Day 18 : Last item purchased
So I guess this is, in a way, cheesier than it is inspirational. It was a viral video that went around about a month ago. Basically, it has a lot of the memorable lines from movies that were inspirational or were used to garner support and enthusiasm.
But really, though it might be over the top, it means a lot that there are so many movies that are so inspirational. Goes to show that the human race can always use some more inspiration.
What gives you inspiration? Maybe you can share it with me, because nothing really comes instantly to mind for me.
PS. As I tagged this, I found that i also tagged the post from 3 days ago as inspirational – the song that makes me cry (or not). Check that out if you need inspiration, I suppose!
