travel

Failure to plan is a plan for failure certainly rings true today. :(

difficulty

Difficult to write today/tonight. So I'll take an entry as success. Anything.

Things even out.

Jack Handy

Genius

SF Writers security.

Science Fiction writers offer suggestions (and rants) concerning security.

“It is impossible for you to succeed without us!” he shouted at the assembled officials, while banging his fist on the table and at one point jumping off his chair to wave a mobile phone in their faces.

Sweet!

lame

I've been lame in posting. I have a propensity for it and that was the primary reason for having a challenge. Thankfully, Jay's up to the task of boxing my ears and getting me back on track.

google docs & privacy

Just something to keep in mind.

clonism

Not clones, but muscular tremors. Experiencing this on a frequent basis when I deeply relax. And it's not that jump when falling asleep, though similar.

detox

My blog entry yesterday was like Jesus in the tomb on Easter morning.

Xtian jokes aside, had a wonderful realization concerning the symbiotic effects of environment and thoughts....namely clutter. Even though I knew it, it's still amazing how a clean desk helps clear the mind.

I wasn't consciously aware of Mozilla themes until I switched to Firefox 3b4 and mine went MIA. 3b5 is right around the corner. 3 seems faster...and type-ahead is different....as I use it, more changes will become apparent (oooh! just remembered xul apps will be easier to start with xul application runtime! yes there's downsides to the approach, but the barrier is nice and low)

back on WoW

I took two months off and am now diving back in. Just in time for guild drama.

math problem solved

Interesting math problem has been solved.

The first application I think of is for Burning Man. Imagine always being able to find your friends!

2 days sick

day two of not feeling so hot. So strange.

equinox

Happy Equinox.

One of the reasons I like HDR photos so much, is they remind me of my experiences with psychedelics. I need to get a camera and revisit.

close

Just cutting it close. The HBO series on John Adams is starting out alright. Pretty interesting stuff.

focus

Ever lose that ability to focus? Yeah, it sucks.

pedometer

Lost my pedometer the other day. Got another one though. Will get a better one next time.

wicked tired

Massage does me in.

which way does she turn

She's over on the right (for now). Check her out. Which way does she turn? See if you can make her turn the opposite direction.

sciam discussion

Scienceline discussion

Now a tough challenge.....make one of the images turn opposite of the other two.

tired

Too much driving, not enough sleep or caffeine.

letting go

I was told by a person who was (and to an extent still is) important to me that "we need to talk about letting go."

Let go of the previous relationship we had
Let go of the thought we will have a future relationship that was like the previous one
Let go of the name of the relationship we had
Let go of the communication channels we once had
Let go of the feelings we shared
Let go of the memories
Let go of the influence
Let go of the material possessions
Let go of communicating

Return to the void.
As if that were possible.
The cycle of rebirth maintains a certain kind of continuity.

I let go... not to forget, but to transcend.

happy birthday

My dad's birthday is today.

presentations

How many slides for a 30 minute presentation? I'm guessing 30 really.

home

Almost forgot just how pretty it is.

good trip

No snow on trip. Left early. Walmart was busy.

the drive

650 miles to visit Dad. Please, no snow on the way....

Hey Kool-Aid!

Oh yeah!

configuration management

I'm thinking of using forms to manage configs that I cannot get a good export for. Seems better than a screenshot...oh...well, at least less space requirement.

Note to self: allow users to make a backups of application configurations to store and restore. ESPECIALLY if it is a gui based config.

absinthe

Wonderful things.

Lifebox

Rudy Rucker has some great ideas, Similar prototypes being designed and built now.

wtf monday

When it rains, it pours. 3 different projects all with urgent issues. Can I have a clone? Nevermind...I hear I'm not easy to live with.....

Be a man pt1

Ideal man doesn't exist. Still, work at being a gentleman. Especially when it comes to women.

Very pleased I topped 10k steps today.

Consciousness Studies

I haven't looked at Hammeroff and Penrose in a long time. Feeling the desire to revisit. Also feeling the desire to revisit psychobiology of hypnosis. Missing Dr. Hyatt...
