I've decided it takes a certain amount of dissatisfaction to be truly ambitious regarding... well, anything, really. What is ambition if not being driven to make some sort of a change? Hence, I've realized I'm not a truly ambitious person simply because I'm fairly content with my position.
Though I don't work as a teacher (something I really want to do), I still help people. Day in and day out. My job is technical support, and I'm very comfortable with what I do. Furthermore, I'm good at it. I have the people skills to do well and the technical know-how to keep my customers informed. Sure, my job doesn't pay as well as some other jobs in my field, but it pays. I'm able to bring home a paycheck at the end of the day, and I've helped people get connected to the world. The job brings me satisfaction.
Then there are those in my job who decide they must move on. They must move higher up, or they must move to another line of work. I see these people at work, and they are not satisfied. They don't feel they are being paid enough, or they don't like dealing with people day in and day out. Every personality has a different take on the job. And for those who are always trying to climb to the top... I imagine it's just never enough.
...The more I look at it, the more satisfied I am with who and where I am. I have a good job, a loving wife, and a great life. No, I don't want to stay in my current job forever... I don't even want to stay in Arizona forever... but I have it good nonetheless. I suppose that's why I'm not truly ambitious.
Just some thoughts. That was all.

Chromium OS
If I'm reading this developer's calendar correctly, the Code for the Google Chromium OS should be completed by tomorrow!
http://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/dev/developers/calendar
I SERIOUSLY want a netbook running this Operating system. Without the need to programs on the computer, but rather using apps, all the docs and everything regarding the service will all be on the net. Personally, I think this is going to completely change the way people look at computers and devices, and I can't wait to get my hands on it.
I know the OS itself isn't suppossed to be RELEASED and available for sale until the 2nd half of this year, But I've been waiting since I heard about the project.

Here's what I want to make: A fusion.
Here's what I want to make.
Not a website. Not a database. Not a Portal or a social network. A fusion.
Something that seamlessly integrates who and where you are on the internet.
Something that knows if you are on your smart phone, or at your desktop, or in your email. Something that knows if you're visiting a guest computer, or at your home.
Something that will notify other "friend" users if you are available currently via twitter, or phone, or email when they check on their phones, twitter, email, or webTV.
Something where they can initiate a video chat... a text message... a voice message that you read as text.
Something that knows if you're at work, it needs to send you a text message instead of call you.
Something that will tell you if you have a video message waiting for you somewhere if your phone can't play it.
Something that will let others link you to what they have discovered, or to their photos or playlists or RSS Feeds in a simple manner.
Something that can use your phone's GPS if you wish to make the whole thing automatically seamless
Something that will never use GPS if you don't.
Something that will let anyone leave you a message if you're in the shower.
In short... I want to fuse the web into something functional.
...Now... Any coders out there with any good ideas?
