I'm In Suttama

OK, I'm now registered for January 21 - Feb 1. Ten days. January 20th 2003 holds some red pill significance for me so the 10 days immediately following the one year anniversary seem fitting somehow. I finally got IIS to work, had to uninstall and reinstall my Proxy client. I guess if I'm setting up IIS on my machine I should do it on my server. I'll put that on my wake list 8-) Don't forget the TLA.

Dutch al'orange

Maybe I'll start again: The Tricky Dutch have done it again! Will we start calling smokers Orangies akin to Limies of the Royal Navy? Or Orange glowers. Maybe Citrusettes. Why not Seedless Pipers. I dare say Cuban Peelers. Rind Chew? Benson and Hedges menthe d'orange one thousand ultra C legere more like it. I think Linus Pauling would be quite happy with all of this.

Six Trillian Dollar Man

Set it up yesterday. Try and find me.

Toogle Goolbar

I like it. Mr. Googbar. Pop up blocking, blogger link, easy search access. Now I can get nowhere even faster.

Windbagology

Windy out there! PV = nRT right? Does this constitute an understanding? Whatever. I got paid thirty bucks yesterday evening to have a workout, at least that is how I choose to see it. How much energy could we generate if we hooked all the treadmills, step machines, stationary bikes, glide trainers, rowing machines, and hamster wheels in North America up to the power grid? Rather than calories burned people could proudly proclaim how many kilowatt hours they contributed. Gyms would just set it up to offset their hydro bill. Skepticism of human nature kills hope and is in itself a self fulfilling prophecy of negativity. How about the harder you workout the lower your monthly fee? I gots to go to work!

Agilightenment

I just read an article regarding the concept of adaptive development methodologies as opposed to predictive ones. It seemed like a good life philosophy in general. Don't act according to what you predict is going to happen but rather act in such a way as to be capable of adapting to whatever does happen. The fundamental tenets of enlightenment continue to prove themselves universally applicable.

Interesting to think about...

I think I like this guy

Soros puts his money where his mouth is!

Bye bye baby

The car goes today :( And don't forget.

Thrrrrrrrrrrrree Thrrrrrrrrrrrree Thrrrrrrrrrrrree

Three is my favorite number. What does that mean, favorite? I have always just said that I liked the number three the best. Triples, threesomes, triumvirates, triangles, trinities, and beyond... And then there is that old tri-weekly, try weekly, try weakly joke about the three sexual phases of a marriage. Three opinions are always better than two. When I was young I always imagined that each number had a gender, it all made sense to me. Now they have become ambiguously gender neutral. I guess back then I only had a few categories to put everything into so everything had a gender whether it liked it or not. Back to three. Three examples, three meals, three days, three years old, three times twenty three, three three three three three three three. Imagine that was your phone number, area code 333 extension 3. 1 + 1 => 1. Don't forget channel three. Three Stooges, Three's Company, Three's a Crowd, Three Blind Mice, The Billy Goats Gruff, The Search for Spock, 1/3. Left, right, or somewhere in between. Who reads this drivel?

Visual Stimulation?

Lame Seal vs. Golden Duck

You just need to figure out the controls. Feedback latency, hysteresis, steady as she goes. Impact, do you have any? I've been drinking these Goldenseal and Echinacea drinks, it tastes like honey and water. Good for the immune system and the gut. I think I prefer to go with the Cherokee over the white man drug money machine. All things aside, it's a nice thing to insert into a day where monsieur duMaurier once might have been the primary song and dance man. Hydration is good too right? "The goldenacea honey floral hydration libation." Dot com. Run with it. I have a buddy who believes that my gift is writing autobiography titles. I prefer the broader stroke of the monaker "Gifted Epigrammatist" (nota bene just because a gift is still sitting under the tree (or wrapped up, in the bag, under the pillow ... (three deep :) )) doesn't mean that you can't talk about it). Sounds like some sort of verbal gymnastic mathematician. "I Am The Very Model Of A Modern Major General" recited Barney while pouncing through an impressive sequence of reverse handsprings. Watched a bit of Clash of the Titans today, just the Medusa part. Medusa means "sovereign female wisdom," in Sanskrit. It means snake haired turn you to stone lady to me. Didn't Scrooge McDuck take her out anyway? Maybe Gyro did, certainly not Launchpad McQuack. OK, I made the lame duck connection (just like that show connections with James Burke(knowledge web? I'll have to come back to that) time for bed. Sweet dreams kids.

Highlife colonic?

I'm tired. Physially, mentaly, and any other ways of being tired that I don't fully understand. Tomorrow, tomorrow... "We know the path but continually choose not to follow it" or something like that. The equilibrium is skewed and needs to be adjusted by removing certain unbalancing reactants from the system. My system. I know them. I love them, I hate them. Goodbye. Tomorrow. Do John and Paul agree?

Remember this episode?

Family Ties - "My Name is Alex".

A fitting read for today

The Matrix. Plato's cave and the matrix. Link to the future.

Kidney-Car

OK, the car is going to the Kidney Foundation of Canada. Not until the 11th between 11 and 2. Hey, that's rememberance day. Another reason for a moment of silence.

The Bronco's boys can swim!

My friends Chris and Rosie just had a baby. Check her out!

The I of the storm

Doing things not based on obligation. Living in the moment. Intrinsic motivation. Absorption without conscious analysis. Shared joy and sympathy for pain. Not feeling responsible for the perspectives of others. Living in your own head rather than in everyone else's. Choice without conscious logic. "One of these kids is doin' his own thing..." Relax. Thought as a tool rather than as the subject. The I of the storm. I used to, I was, I always, I never, I want, I hate, I can't, I am, I can, I do, I will.

Thujone Hangover

Pubs, bars, clubs, restaurants, the mountain, the street, the city, the picture show, the people, the friends and the absynth. What a weekend. "Good times, good times." I was quite drained today, slept lots even though I said that I shouldn't. I think I ate enough yesterday to cover the week. Not exactly a weekend of moderation. Do you think if I went back to the mountain she might be there? Mmmmm. I heard some stories about some of the guys I used to work with, still glad I quit. Got some reinforcement for the meditation thing, I should call and see what happened with my application. I forgot to pick up my passport last week. I paid extra for faster service and then forgot to go get it. I feel good. Must be the thujone hangover.
