vicous cycles

Monday, July 28th, 2008

One of the cruelest ironies in my life is that when I am sick I can’t sleep.  The “universal cure” skillfully eludes me and I lie awake at night miserable, exhausted and angry.
I  have also noticed that the more I do, the more I can do.  Busy weekends seem longer, and if I force myself […]

Jumping the Shark

Friday, July 11th, 2008

Written on mobile phone
So I love music, but lately I have been disillusioned with the radio, so I usually listen to NPR in my car. I wouldn’t really say that I necessarily agree with their politics, but I like hearing the news, and I appreciate the minimalist commercials.
Today however I think they hit a […]

I miss Macromedia

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

I had a job where I got to use the Macromedia MX suit and I absolutely loved it.  Flash has to be indisputably one of the coolest things to happen to the internet.  Thank you Youtube, Homestar, telecrapper2000, and a myriad of crappy flashy band websites etc.  Dreamweaver was a phenomenal HTML editor, the design […]

I thought we were lazy

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

So a lot of our language is lazy.  Contractions abbreviations, slang and don’t get me started on that silly chat acronym stuff. (LOL, BRB, ROFL, etcetera)
 I was thinking the other day,  why do we say “underneath”?  What’s a neath?  When is it ever better to add the “neath,” when “under” wouldn’t be ’nuff?
Again ”This one” makes sense, but […]

Internet induced insomnia

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

Posted by mobile phone:
One of the problems with the internet is that it isn’t time sensative–It is just as interesting no matter what time it is. I need a little unwind time occasionally after studying. Late night TV would tranquelize an elephant (not that elephants watch much tv). Instantly boring. (Ok, maybe not quite instantly–the […]

question

Monday, March 31st, 2008

How do your arm hairs know how long to grow?
It kind of makes sense that they are only so long, so if one falls out, it grows back the same length. But if you cut, trim or singe off the hairs, they grow back to the same length… then stop.
If your hair really is […]

100

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

my cousin recently did a post of 100 things about herself. I think it is an interesting idea… To quote a friend , I do this for me, not for you–I think it will be enlightening. Probably much more for me than for anyone who reads it. So
1. working for my dad was one of […]

entropy

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

I’ve always felt a little vindicated by entropy, and have always enjoyed when it comes up in science classes. We are talking about it again today.
 So the second law of thermodynamics says that all irreversible processes result in an increase of entropy, constantly adding to the overall entropy of the universe. 
Have you heard that they […]
