Nazis in California

Student: I want things I could never have.
Master: If you could have them, would you want those things?

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) — James Doohan, the burly chief engineer of the Starship Enterprise in the original “Star Trek” TV series and motion pictures who responded to the command “Beam me up, Scotty,” died early Wednesday. He was 85. Looking like its getting more difficult to crew the Enterprise for a new movie (2007). (see also and also)

Today I’m feeling quite at ease. Looks like things are going to go well.

I just finished a project. This is going to be a technical showcase piece for me. Valid css, valid html, very semantic, well documented, database driven, client front-end, client backend (password protected area), employee backend, with a shopping cart. I’m quite pleased although I could continue tweaking it until days end (such is the way of a perfectionist). I don’t often find it appropriate to blog work related items. Work like this comes to me by designers that have worked with their clients to create the desired look and feel and a light specification. I then take that artwork and turn it into the html layout, build the database design, tighten up the specification and so forth to create a functioning web application. Much fun!

I always thought I’d be dead at 35.
I never thought I’d still be breathing.

Once upon a time
I was feeling fine
Delusioned, crazed
And heart ablaze

What ruined me?
Visa, Mastercard
“Charge please”

What was my downfall?
The need to please.

What brought me to my knees?
Caffeine
Simulated ADHD.

And how did I cope?
Fraternization
And fermentation.

What now?
I break
I’ve broke.

Student: I am terribly stressed.
Master: You choose to be stressed.

James of Puerilis has turned his webcam back on.

Student: Subtle
Master: Art

Apparently James and I share similar feelings.

Next time someone at the office says they "need a cup of hot coffee" sue them for sexual harassment!

"cup of hot coffee" — a euphemism for sex

Looks like Joseph Lieberman and Hillary Rodham Clinton are jumping on the censorship bandwagon. What happened to the "inform the parents and let them make decisions for their children" bandwagon? The government really should not be dictating morals for me nor should they be trying to raise my kids.

Postcards from Hell’s Kitchen gives us a good picture of the Republican Party.
