I need to read more books

Today hacker news had a link to a New york times article about a women who is reading a book a day for a year. I read the article and thought I wish I could read that many books in a year. I don't think I could accomplish such a feat because I have never finished a book in one day. I think I did read a book in four days once but, it was a short book.

I want to read more books but, I am a slow reader. I read a sentence or paragraph and then I will read it again and sometimes again before I move on to the the next sentence or paragraph. Also when I come to a word I don't understand I look it up in my dictionary instead of guessing what it means.

Looking up words that I don't understand wouldn't be so bad if I remember the word the next time I read it. But I end up looking up the same words over and over again. Heck I even have trouble remembering the word I just looked up in the dictionary after I put the dictionary down but, before I start reading again so sometimes I need to look the word up a second time which is frustrating.

So anyway I was sitting in front of my computer dreaming about how great it would be able to read a book a day. Just thinking about something like that made me feel great. I Imagined all the great books I could read and how much better at reading I would become. It made my day. But sadly I don't think I could ever be able to read fast enough to read that many books. Maybe one book a week is possible but, I don't want to set a goal because I know I wont do it. I just want to dream.

Oh I am forgetful

Everyday either before or after I enter daily entry sweepstakes I enter one entry sweepstakes. But yesterday I forgot to look though one entries so I had to look through the one entries ending today this afternoon. Lucky for me I enter one entries a day before they end or I would have missed some sweepstakes entries and I don't want that to happen.

This post is over. Why couldn't I think of something more interesting to write about today, bummer. Sillys done. Goodnight.

I won another package of candy from M&Ms

I won another package of candy from the Halloween million instant win game today. Its the second time in a week that I have won a bag of candy from the same instant win game. After I won I checked the rules again to make sure I could win twice and luckily I can. What a great win. Yay for me, yay for me.

This is turning out to be a great month as far as sweepstakes wins go. I have won four times this month, four times. I don't remember the last month where I won four times. Sillys done. Goodnight.

Making a new twitter background

I am excited about making a twitter background. Today while reading feeds in google reader I came across a tutorial showing how to create a twitter background, which I found at devsnippets. I suppose the twitter background I have now is ok but, why not make a new one. I don't know what color to make my background. I also don't know what type of graphics to add to the background after I finish working thought the tutorial, I hope come up with something.

I have also been thinking about making a profile picture for blogger and twitter but, I don't know what I want to make. I could put a picture of myself but, I am embarrassed at how bad my blog is so I don't want anyone to know what I look like. Though I am sure even if I did put use a picture of myself for my profile picture no one would know what I look like because no one reads my blog. And I must say I am glad the no one reads my blog. I will think of something for my profile picture. Sillys Done. Goodnight.

P.S. Thank you everyone for not reading my blog. You know who you are. Thank you.

The not so great idea

You know how some websites have a frequently asked questions sections. Well I want to answer frequently asked questions too but, since no one asks me any questions I will make questions up. Of course I will think the questions are funny but, no one else will and they will also make no sense like all the other posts on my blog.

I will call this new feature questions that no one has ever asked me but, I want to answer anyway. The title is hilarious. I think it is a stupid idea but, no one will ever read the posts so I will go for it. I don't know how many fake questions I will be able to come up with probably not to many so it may be a short lived feature. I think it will be fun. Sillys done. Goodnight.

This post is not up to my standards, I'll post it anyway

I am still reading the book smalltalk by example which must be a record for me. I usually change programming languages after three or four days. I am improving. I have no idea what I want to make with squeak.

Strike that because I think I do no what I want to make with squeak. Of Course I have mentioned it before. I want to make a website using seaside. I still have a long way to go before I will be able to make anything on my own. Of Course I may never be able to make anything of my own but, I want to give it my best shot and if I don't succeed I will know I gave it my best effort. This post if awful. Sillys done. goodnight.

Today I want to complain about my bookmarks folder

Today I want to complain about my bookmarks folder again. Why did I bookmark so many websites. Why oh why. It will take me a moth or two to look thought my bookmarks. I could have used that month to do other things but, now I will spend and hour a day trying to get my bookmarks cleaned up because I bookmarked to may sites. Woe is me.

On the positive side I found a few websites that I like. I would not have found those websites had I not bookmarked them. Also I am sure I will feel a sense of accomplishment when I do eventually tame my bookmarks. I don't have a sense of accomplishment after writing this awful blog post though. Sillys done, goodnight.

A few days ago I said I wanted to learn html 5

A few days ago I said I wanted to learn html 5 and I still do but, today I was thinking I could put up a website using html 4 just to get something up on my website. I need to get a website up at this point because I have said I want to make a website for years but, have never made a good one.

In addition to helping me learn html putting up a website make me practice jquery and php both of witch I want to learn. Bottom line I just want to get something up and running. I know it won't be great but, if I don't put up a website it won't be anything just an empty page. This lackluster post is over. Silly says goodnight.

I think I will use this post to complain about all the

I think I will use this post to complain about all the bookmarks I have in my bookmarks folder. I bookmark so many websites I don't know what websites I have in my bookmarks folder so the bookmarks are useless anyway.

All of those bookmarks make me feel overwhelmed. I feel like oh no I have so many bookmarks I need to look through them and get rid of some but, I never go though my bookmarks because I figure what is the point I will never be able to look at all of them so why bather. It is no fun think about all the bookmarks I need to look through

So what I want to do is look though say ten bookmarks a day and maybe eventually who knows maybe I will have a bookmarks folder with a lot fewer bookmarks. Wow that post was exciting. Silly done. Goodnight.

I mean I cant write that I now want to learn a different programming language everyday. Although there is probably not much I can write about some picture that I make but, at lest they are pretty. This post is awful. Sillys done goodnight.

I won a package of M&M brand candies

Today I won a package of M&M brand candies from the Halloween million 2009 instant game. I can't wait to eat my candy, yummy. M&M's Halloween sweepstakes was one of the first sweepstakes I entered back in 2007. I entered it every day but, did not win anything.

Last year I entered m&ms Halloween sweepstakes maybe a few times or maybe every day I can't remember. But I did not win a prize. And then this year I have been entering the sweepstakes everyday and I won a bag of candy. Yay for me. I love candy. Sillys done. Goodnight.

As you know I want to become a porgrammer

As I have mentioned on my blog before I want to learn how to make computer programs. And you know I want to learn squeak. So one of my goals is to make a program that I have designed and put it on squeak source. But first I need to learn squeak and how to design programs.

So I have switched programming languages again and now I want to learn squeak. I am serious this time I am going to stick to it and learn how to make a programs. After almost five years of trying to learn how to program I finally hop this year I will make something. But I probably will fail again because I will switch languages in a week or two. This post makes no sense, sillys done, goodnight.

My winless streak is over

Today I won twice. First I received two books in the mail: Game over, and How to think like a CEO. I can't wait to read the books they look so interesting. And my second win of the day was a $25 home depot gift card. Yay for me I won, I won. I wonder if I will get any more wins this month. I guess I will have to wait and see. Sillys done, Goodnight.

I like plinky

I read about plinky on lifehacker probably six months ago and then signed up for the website but I had not answered a plinky prompt until today. I signed up for plinky because I thought it would give me an opportunity to write more. And if you have read this blog at all you know I need to practice writing more much more. But as I said I have not posted on the website until today so I have not gotten the practice writing I wanted when I signed up for plinky.

So I am writing this post to say from now on I want to answer a question everyday. Hey if I can enter hundreds of sweepstakes a day I think I can answer a question a day. This unexciting post is done. Sillys says goodnight.
