Lyrics.app for iPhone (idea), originally uploaded by rpechler.

I wish I could make this. I really wish I didn’t have a midterm
tomorrow. I wish I had this on my iPhone. I’d love to discuss the idea
further with anyone interested. Wish me luck on my Econ midterm at
11AM! (I need it!)

I’m drinking this in class… Pomegranate is my favorite Naked
Juice… The one I always got from the lobbies at Google. Anyway, I
just picked this up at the Oakes Cafe, for $3.68! (a hell of a lot
more than FREE). I wonder how much Google pays.

I’m not sure why, but this coffee cup reminds me of that wonderful French Children’s Book, Le Petit Prince. I actually would like to use the other colored cups, but the lids don’t fit those. And this is at the cafeteria at the UCSC Inn where I live, so I use these almost every day.
