Paul Miller’s last 15 minutes on the internet
Sharing headphones watching the Dark Knight Rises trailer, Josh the Creator overseeing internet withdrawal, getting nervous, drinking champagne, and finally pulling the plug.
EDIT: Nice Stream-ception in the final shot.
I can’t begin to convey my respect for this man. I do not want to ever do what he is attempting, but I sure as hell can’t wait to read about the experience.

What can I say.
I do the same things here I do back in berkeley. I work, I eat, I internet, I… nope that’s about it. There are of course, the little things that are different. The color of the card that gets me free bus rides for example. But I kid.
Seattle weather is supposed to be beautiful in the summer. I have yet to really see this. It only (only?) rains like twice a week here, but its gray most other days. I can count on one hand the days I’ve had a clear view of Rainier. Then again, summer doesn’t actually start till tomorrow, so we’ll see how things go after that.
Work. I’m not sure what it is. The people I work with are alright. The project I work on isn’t THAT interesting, but it’s well within my limits of skill, and I have a lot of creative control in theory. I don’t feel fulfilled at work. Part of it is how pointless my project is, seeing as it’s a already ancillary and it’s replicating features found elsewhere. Part of it is the developer tools that are in place to ‘help’ people. Partly its the separation I have both physically and intellectually from my team.
Whatever the reason, I’ll happily pocket every paycheck I get from this summer, enjoy every moment I can in Seattle, and promptly never come back. To this city, and to corporate computer science. I miss California. I miss my school. I miss a lot of things.

It’s sad Lady Gaga didn’t approve this. It’s a good parody.
