In The Airport

Sitting here at the Minnesota airport, I’ve heard so many people talking “management”. Looks like everyone is a tech manager….

Oops, they’ve just called our plane for boarding I’ll finish the thought tonight (probably).

For the past 2 or 3 days the western media has been satisfying their macabre obsession with a murder case of a little girl. The news that a possible suspect is arrested has been plastered all over newspapers, and TV. It turns out today that the confessions they got from the guy seem very contradictory with facts. No matter, the brave western media marches on in search of truth. The little girl’s face is on all daily newspapers and everyone is searching for answers.

Meanwhile the death toll in Lebanon hits 1,300 and more than a third are children. Perhaps if the children in Lebanon all had Anglo-Saxon names, and were aspiring beauty queens we would see their photos on the dailies here in the west.

Commodore 64

I’ve been dabbling in high-level computing for a while now. My work doesn’t lead me to the guts of the computer. I don’t have to use the command line to make my daily bread. I am a suite! But I realized today how much I miss hacking around on it. There’s something about the black background, with white text (and some colored characters thrown in for fun) that’s intriguing and makes you want to explore. The Commodore64 was my first introduction to the command line – and in fact to computers – and I still haven’t overcome the mystery of those glowing characters!

Maybe it’s time I basked in that glow again!

I need to do some thinking… I have realized that people are two-faced. Especially most of the ones I know! Ok, maybe not two-faced but very insincere. Perhaps I just need to cope with it, smile and go on with the realization that I should take everything with a grain of salt.


Money money money!

I had known about this for a while now, but the reason I’m mentioning it now, is because not only did the dude make his money but his ideas have spawned a string of copy cats. It’s interesting how a simple – stupid, even – idea can fool people and make someone a lot of money. Why didn’t I think of something like that?
In case, you don’t feel like following the links: this guy was auctioning the pixels on his webpage, and he made a lot of money!
