Life + Graduation SOON + NEXUS: Rooted

Hey Guys been like a LONG time since I wrote in here.

I started my last graduating semester at SJSU and boy am I GLAD
I'm about to finish! There were about 20 people waiting in one
particular BUS 177 Class. This is called a system that needs change. Hear me?

When PRISONS get more money than colleges you know there's major trouble.
Seriously, you can't expect an economy to expand, grow if you cut away the
There's no easy solution If it were up to me I'd employ rather simple tactics
involving *accidently* getting rid of the prisons, you know what I mean. America wastes SO much money on paying for these guys trials, lawyer fees, then goes ahead and gives them cable TV and many other amenities, seriously messed up.

On a happy note, I got the Nexus one phone from Google. I'm quite satisfied overall
with it. Android is expanding and is giving the Iphone a finger. I love competition.
I rooted my Nexus also, damn I love open-source software, the code was released to XDA developers and very soon after CyanognenMod popped out the first cracked ROM.
I'm using the Beta3 right now which runs alright, but having issues making tethering
work which was much easier on the G2(MyTouch).
















What I like:
- HI-RES 800x480 Gorgeous AMOLED Screen, got one of those Ipoop?
- Snapdragon 1GHZ Processor. Fast.
- VOIP Capability with Sipdroid, hahaha!!! Take that expensive 300 minute plan!

What needs improvement:
- Multitouch for EVERYTHING. NexusOne should have had the multitouch input from
birth... Cyanogenmod adds this but it should be available
from Google. Google: you gotta work on the interface, thats where Iphone is still
better.

There are two exchange students living at my house now, one Korean
guy from Suwon, S.Korea and one Japanese guy from Kyushu University,
both are attending the SAL program at SJSU. I like having exchange students
around since I can use my Japanese and Korean (well he doesnt speak korean much
cuz he wants to practice English) but cool anyways. Having them
around makes me feel a little bit less stuck in domestication until I
go back to Asia :). I'm the one who suggested the idea to my parents awhile
ago and it has really been interesting in a good way, since my parents are
totally white, unlike their egg son (egg meaning Asian inside white outside)

I started doing meditation in the morning, just a small 7 min but man I NOTICE
the difference in my own mind, much calmer, controlled peaceful. It WORKS.
I got the idea from the temple stay I did in Korea while I was going to Yonsei.
The temple stay was incredible, like a total purification of the mind.
Getting up at about 3AM that morning at the temple, I still remember clearly, going
up to the bell and ringing it as a group, then doing the meditation. The whole
experience was by far one of the best I had in Korea.

My buddy Joaquin moved to SF, its a great move for him into a social
environment *Ahem man jose* GL Man!!! It will be nice to have a place
to crash at when we go drinking together =P

I'm turning in my app soon for ShiDa (NTNU) in Taiwan
