		<description><![CDATA[I had a bit too much caffeine yesterday and was laying in bed awake at 1am. Given the ungainly hour and my reluctance to get up, my mind began to wander. And it eventually landed on the Old Spice ads that are being posted to YouTube in response to Twitter comments from random people. Examples: [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thoughtsfromryan.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10783913&amp;post=236&amp;subd=thoughtsfromryan&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had a thought about my upcoming Freshman Studies writing class. After having met with my team leader (quasi-boss), I was reminded about how often college students have trouble reading well. That is, how often college students struggle to really understand what they read and to take notes in a way that is of use [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thoughtsfromryan.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10783913&amp;post=232&amp;subd=thoughtsfromryan&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

And, as much as I hate to admit it, Live Writer is the best blogging software that I’ve tried. Blogdesk just didn’t cut it. And the jury’s still out on ScribeFire. Oh, and the WordPress editor is just [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thoughtsfromryan.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10783913&amp;post=231&amp;subd=thoughtsfromryan&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So I’ve been thinking some more about the post yesterday, The Rise of Real-time. Specifically, the claim that Facebook and Twitter were more real time than their more traditional forms of communicating: these aren’t entirely real-time, but they do let you interact with your friends in close to it. At least, compared with more “traditional” [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thoughtsfromryan.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10783913&amp;post=230&amp;subd=thoughtsfromryan&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

There seems to be a constant move toward real-time computing. That is, there seems to be a massive growth computing techniques that are based on being used in real time. By this, I&#8217;m defining [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thoughtsfromryan.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10783913&amp;post=228&amp;subd=thoughtsfromryan&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

After the first few paragraphs, it turns into some heavy-duty physics with little detail. But there are some interesting passages. One hits at the importance of Newton Before Newton, people [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thoughtsfromryan.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10783913&amp;post=224&amp;subd=thoughtsfromryan&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
