Memoirs of an English Major

    If life were a John Hughes film… screw it. I’d still be single

   It’s Thursday and usual this would end the week of posting, but I’m leaning towards having a post up tomorrow as well. If anything, it will be a work of fiction ready and waiting for your consumption. But my mind is currently split between writing and coding. It’s a common practice that I have become used it, but it is a bit hard to switch mind sets in one sitting. If you’re curious as to what I am working it, it is an Adobe AIR app using Flex as the engine. It will be open source and it will be something that writers should be able to use. Hopefully by the end of the month, I’ll have it in an alpha state to actually use, though the code won’t go up till later this month. In any case, I know this is short, but I must get back to coding. So, for those of your craving entertainment, click on the more tag and enjoy the video below.

“We are all susceptible to the pull of viral ideas. Like mass hysteria. Or a tune that gets into your head that you keep on humming all day until you spread it to someone else. Jokes. Urban legends. Crackpot religions. Marxism. No matter how smart we get, there is always this deep irrational part that makes us potential hosts for self-replicating information.” – Neal Stephenson
