30 Day Challenge – No Soda

jonathan — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 05:35:51 +0000

I got the idea to do a 30 day challenge from reading Matt Cutt’s blog (he’s a Googler). Every month or so he’ll do a 30 day challenge which is sometimes chosen by his readers. I’ve decided I’m going to do the same thing except for letting all my zero readers choose my challenge.

For the month of July, I will give up soda. I drink far too much soda each day and I’m sure by giving it up, I’ll feel much better almost immediately. It will be difficult since my work provides free soda and stocks up on 100+ cans a week but thats why its called a challenge.

Just so we’re clear, soda consists of Pepsi, Coca-Cola, Root Beer, Sprite, Sierra Mist, and any other drink that contains carbonation and/or high fructose corn syrup.

So, here’s to hoping I am successful. Wish me luck!

Microsoft Doesn’t Get It

Microsoft is so out of touch with its users. The video below shows General Manager of Live Labs at Microsoft, Kostas Mallios, talking about how their new Windows Phone 7 is an “ad-serving machine”. Applications are to keep people informed and to build a connection with the advertiser. Tiles on the main screen allow advertisers to send notifications to your phone and pop up on screen or if that’s disabled, then a notification bar can drop down with the message. So who are Microsoft’s customers, every day users or the advertisers?

I really need to re-learn Java. .Net is so… Microsoft.
