The last yc dinner
I might cry. Other than the "Boston" part, what a phenomenal experience. Thanks Jessica and Paul.

A New Yorker trapped in Boston for the summer.
I am a software engineer in New York. I love good food, good cocktails, fast cars, good public transportation, and photography. I was born to live in New York City.
I’m a cofounder at Posterous.

My rear wheel drive beast
And it passed smog!

Update: I just took Eric for a spin and then let him drive Bruce. "Holy crap." "You just made a u-turn going 20." "What kind of tires do you have on here!@?"
It's a 17 year old car with the original suspension and $40 all season tires that are 4 years old. That's what great automotive engineering can do.

Another Pixar hit: Wall-E
It's really amazing Pixar can come out with hit after hit. What an incredible track record. Wall-E is in my top 3, after Monsters Inc and Finding Nemo.What I was not impressed by was the theater experience. I haven't enjoyed seeing movies in theaters since high school. We were in a small theater with heads in the way, a talking kid behind us, and tickets and drinks were $40 for two people. I don't think there was surround sound, and the picture quality was not that good. Either of my parents home systems would have been better.
If theaters want people to keep going to movies like they have in the past, they need to make the experience much better. Charge me more if you have to, but give me better service, better quality, and turn that shit up! I want the walls to shake!

Autopost to everything. Why we did it.
Yesterday we released possibly the coolest Posterous feature so far: we'll post your emails to all the other blogging services on the web, after doing our usual image scaling and other attachment processing.The response to our release has been phenomenal. But there's also been some interesting discussion around the web as to why this feature is useful. Why would I want all my content duplicated around the internet?
The first two autoposting sites we unveiled were Twitter and Flickr. These made sense because people use them alongside their blogs. Even with a personal blog, you want your photos in your photostream, and you want people following your twitter to know your updates.
So why post to other blogs? Because we understand that there are millions of people out there who already have blogs on other services. We can't expect you to drop your existing blog and switch to Posterous overnight. You have loyal readers on your blog; you have built a community there.
But we think the value Posterous adds to blogging is huge, and we think everyone would LOVE to post photos and other attachments by email. Why take all the work we've done and limit it to Posterous.com users?
So now we let everyone blog using Posterous. We hope this means users will blog more often, even if their primary site is not with us. But we also hope people will recognize the Posterous name, and new bloggers will see we are the service that powers easy blogging everywhere.
We're building the very best product we can, the product we would want to use ourselves. We aren't compromising on quality anywhere. And more than anything, we want to see as many people as possible using the technology we're working so hard on. We want to put Posterous into the hands of millions, and that's why we're building the features we've always wanted, and building the features our users have been requesting from us.
Thanks to everyone for all their help and support so far. If you have any friends who already have blogs, tell them about Posterous and our new Autoposting feature. Now no one can say "Posterous is cool, but I already have a blog."

Something is wrong with my iPhone 3G
The battery on my iPhone sucks. It barely lasts a day. But I assumed it was because I'm using it a lot. Lots of web surfing on 3G, push email and calendars to my phone, games, iPod...I'm using the device constantly.But something still didn't add up. And now I have proof. Last "night" I went to bed at 6:30am with my phone fully charged. I checked the usage on my phone at 2pm this afternoon and saw this:
7.5 hours of standby...Makes sense. But nearly 6 hours of use? I was sleeping nearly that entire time! And later in the day:
So something is running on my phone that is causing the usage time to go up and the battery to drain. With very little use today it still didn't last the day. That's terrible. Oh, and this is with push email off. The phone also feels a little warm even when off so maybe something is running.
I guess I need to go to an Apple store and see about getting a replacement.
