Old design notes, a few dozen sketches, that kind of thing. Oh well, soon (maybe even tomorrow night!) I will have a digital camera and can have fun using that for scanning-like operations :) . I'm actually kind of thinking of doing a rogues gallery for the blog here, portraits of the various people being ...

Feeling the need to recharge my enthusiasm for knowledge.

Listened to the next in the philosophy lecture series (I stopped for quite a while there), was good to think at a more abstract level for an hour or so. Was discussing the neo-Aristotelians at Oxford in the Quatrocento (a.k.a. The Rennaissance). Apparently "The Elegant Universe" ...

Wound up buying more ginger than I intended to yesterday, so decided to use the entire old root for a stir-fry (mushrooms, tomotos green and red bell peppers) and do up some "cool" pasta using fresh mint and anise (after cooking, drain, pour in cold water, drain, repeat). Tossed 1/3 of a raw strong purple ...

Was reading an article on Wired News this afternoon about a new bill in the states intended to allow consumers and third-party technicians to access (all of) the diagnostic codes for their cars. Headaches are much like the check-engine lights described in the article. They tell you that something is wrong, but there's not much ...

I've been pondering this idea for a while now. The language used by the mainstream media tends to glorify conflict and encourage "newsworthy" negative actions (by heaping attention on the perpetrators). Death tolls are reported as if they were game scores, trojan horse programs are given "zippy" names and compared like race horses.

Finally sat down to put in my Bruce Trail club membership fee this morning. Apparently in 10 days I'll get "something", and I'll hopefully get a schedule at the same time. Shiva suggested that we (excluding her) possibly do a hike during June and then go for another in July. I may ask Mel and/or ...

When JoAnne was over yesterday we made a deal to swap my scanner (which I only use once every 4 or 5 months) for her digital camera (which she doesn't really like compared to her "classic" camera). JoAnne was forced to buy the camera (when she really wanted a scanner) in order to get a ...
