Applications were due by midnight Tuesday night. It was fun to watch the numbers jump from 5300 applications Monday, to 8734 applications from 6059 by the time the submission form was removed. Now it’s just a waiting game to receive the five “You were not accepted” emails to hit my inbox.
Hawk just got even more respect from me with this post. Although the reason I don’t spend anytime in their irc channel or forums is because I hate the “Macs are the only good things out there” mentality of their fanbase, Hawk’s blasting (close enough) of that WinBlows user is great. Keep up the good work Hawk!
I finally started to calm down about the Google thing. In fact, I got nervous for a while and considered not entering. That’d be foolish. There’s no reason not to enter. I currently have five ideas that I’m playing with, thinking about, researching and what not. I need to get around to writing up the proposals for those, hopefully get another idea or two out there. Not that concerned if I don’t get accepted, there are plenty of things I want to learn this summer, the horde framework being one of them. Horde has things to work on for money outside of google anyway, so that’s something to look forward to.
I started geeking out again today though. I managed to get tickets for the third screening of Serenity! This time it’s in Albany, and there’s close to 20 of us going, hopefully we’ll be together this time and feel more like a group. A bunch of people that haven’t seen Firefly yet, or just recently watched it for the first time are going. I feel like a Browncoat now. 🙂
