Bobs is obsessed with Sara Bareilles' album, "A Little Voice". I got this album playing over and over while drowning the ambient noises at the Phoenix office. During college, the ambient noises are generally just the fans of the computers or the buzzing noises from the lights above. Nowadays at the Phoenix office, it's cell phones ringing/vibrating, or a coworker singing, telling a story, bouncing, clapping his fist, etc. I mean, I love the collegial atmosphere, but it's happening all the time, constantly, 24/7. I need to get in the zone when I develop, or else I lose my thoughts and need start them over.
Well, back to this frickin' awesome album. I'm addicted to her voice (also doesn't hurt that she's hot). Her lyrics are amazing and not the cliche words like "I don't want you back" or "I can't live without" blabber. Her single, "Love Song" is bouncy, which led me to download the entire album. I would normally never even attempt to get albums like this, but I have my great Zune Card (Zunetastic!!) where I have unlimited downloads. So with that, I tried it out, I downloaded the entire album and listened to every song. Afterwards, I put it on repeat.
Get the album, if not, listen to "Love Song", "City", and "Gravity". Gravity is my drop down favorite. All I can say, WOW...
Time to fly, take care!

Zune-tastic
Bobs has just purchased a Zune (2nd gen). I love everything about it. It doesn't go "WEEEE" like the iTouch does (as Jenn demonstrated), but it does have 80 gigs and a subscription service to get random albums that I'd probably never get. I'll have some trouble filling the 80 gigs, but it's a nice to have.
The interface is frickin awesome, but the touch scroll isn't as smooth compared to the iPod. I got to be faithful to Avanade and Microsoft though, and I'll wait for the possibility of a Zune Phone.
I was shopping for the Zune awhile ago and people were sending me links to some sales that were out. They were selling the smaller Zune for $99. Funny thing is, the sale only applied to the dooky brown Zune. Come on guys, why would you make a Zune in that color and not BLUE! I would rather spend the extra hundred to get a better color than to get a dooky brown one on sale.
Bobs is currently waiting for a standby flight to SFO, I hope I can jump on this one. Later!

Round Asian Guy
Bobs has a fellow Vietnamese coworker, named Quoc. During an afternoon lunch at Zen32, we chill and chat and he goes, "Everyone likes you because you're a round asian guy." How is one supposed to respond to that? First thing that comes to mind is, "Are you calling me fat?!?!?!"
The long explanation goes, in Vietnamese, there's a term that you use to say, "Oh, your baby is so cute" blah blah. Mat Trong is the word, which literally means, round face. So, generally cute babies are the ones that are chubby. So yeah...he's saying I'm fat. 150 lbs, 5' 8'' fat round asian kid nicknamed Chubs, oh yeah!
