Skaarj on a Stick Sixteen days? That's almost two weeks! -Red vs Blue

Pointy Sticks and Paul Graham

I purchased a new domain name. A friend recommended it, it was available, and I've been needing one for a while.

http://www.pointystick.org

Currently, it's housing a make-shift portfolio. I've applied for an internship at Virtrium for my senior year at college. You may remember Virtrium as they released a press release that had my name on it. Don't know if I'll get the internship or not, but everything I've seen of them shows they're really great people. So it would be awesome to get it.

At some point in the future, I will make skaarj.com redirect to pointystick.org and ask people to update their bookmarks. Maybe around Christmas, maybe later. The redirect will likely last a significant amount of time, after which I will repurpose skaarj.com with a more appropriate thing than my personal blog and etc.

Also, I recently learned of this Paul Graham guy. I'm sure he's someone famous, as it certainly seems that's the case, but I've only just recently been made aware he exists when Soft Linden twittered about him. He does something like I do -- taking established conventions, realizing something's horribly wrong, and puts forth the truth of the matter -- except whereas I write something like bad poetry, he writes stuff like Mark Twain. Definitely worth giving some of his essays a read.

I've only read a couple, but How to Do What You Love caught my eye, and speaks things on the subject I've been telling people for years, and other things I hadn't even thought of.

(On another note, Alex's Soapbox on The Daily WTF has some very insightful things in the same vein as "why hasn't anyone else figured this out already?" style of thought.)
