A juggling technophile shares personal stories, challenges, humor and perhaps some political commentary.
Just as I’m starting to get into the programming groove the morning chaos blows everything away. I woke at midnight and tried to convince myself to stay up. That would have been 6 out of 8 of my work hours. 4am rolled around and I tried hard to convince myself to get up for 2 our of 8 work hours. I finally rose at 5am which was better than the normal 6am.
My 9:30am deadline is going to hit me like a ton of bricks.
I remember in my teens..would have been 14 or 15..I walked down to the pond at the end of the neighborhood, climbed a tree 10 or 12 feet high (3-4m), daydreamed for a bit, watched some people that never saw me, then I napped deeply, in the tree, on the branch with a pleasant, warm breeze as the only thought on my mind, with no worries. Irie.
I’ve decided we need to move to Colorado. Perhaps Buffalo. Mork (amz) liked it. Anyhow, the dog likes the snow very much so we need more snow!
In search of synchronicity, serendipity, and Plan B…
The inconsequentials of an expatriate speculator living in Hong Kong
The other day we had Molly at the dog park and ran into a family of similar size to ours that had a large, all black, German Shepherd. It didn’t take long to figure out they had both come from the same breeder in Greenback, TN. He was two years old and the family said he has finally quit chewing on things so much and is still rambunctious. He was a good 2 to 2.5 hands larger than Molly. It was a good trip to the park. Molly performed well and showed off her jumping skills after I set up two 18″ jumps before and after the large ramp. She would jump the hurdles, run over the ramp, then jump the other hurdles. She didn’t always jump and didn’t always clear but we had much fun!
U.S. Prepares to Test Bird Flu Vaccines Still unsure how to catch all the birds.
Saddam’s half-brother captured Other half remains at large.
Today was a bit of a blur with some shades of programming, outlines in email, textures of phone calls, and highlights of marketing all on a canvas of decent productivity. What a happy picture!
My absolute favorite morning routine:
Amy looks to Daddy as she reaches toward the cat and asking for approval says, “I be nice. I be gentle.”
I’m a fantastic programmer, manager and technophile.
There is no challenge that I would not accept and always have success.
Too reaching. Too contrived. If there is one thing I am not, it’s envious.
Two places.
1) I’ve spent a bunch of mental energy of late remembering those people in high school that were more assertive and self-confident than myself in the realm of dating and pondering how bygone times might have been different.
2) Thinking about those folks that stayed the course, followed the rules, conformed to society, work 8-5, and have nice cars, spacious houses, lawn service to keep the elegant yards, weekly maid service to fend off the filth and other things that fall under Gluttony and Greed and further contribute to Wrath and Sloth.

I went to Earth Fare today (I suppose I need say no more) and splurged by allowing myself to eat some sushi and I wasn’t really hungry. Since Cathy had to eat low carb and low sugar today the trip to Earth Fare was done with good intentions yea Gluttony struck none-the-less.
Sex makes women happy, it’s official
Having sex is the high point of most women’s days, while commuting is the low point. And most women like being with their kids less than they admit…with 6 being the strongest and 0 the weakest women gave “intimate relations” a positive score of 5.10
A woman’s ability to reach orgasm is partly due to her genes and the relative importance of environmental factors versus genes seems to vary depending on whether a woman masturbates, has sexual intercourse or oral sex.
The researchers found that when women try to reach orgasm through masturbation about half (51%) of their chance of success depended on their genes. When they had penetrative sex, genes accounted for just 31% of their chance of success, and 37% when a women and her partner used other methods.
…may support the theory that orgasm plays a role in evolution such as to retain sperm
Note: This study was done with 3000 Australian female twins including genetically identical twins and non-identical twins. Somewhere out there is a very, very happy research assistant (tick that one off as Envy).
Orgasms play tricks on your mind-brain
Orgasms activate parts of the brain responsible for euphoria and pleasure, but also emotion…orgasms are better if you’re in love. …we tend to have orgasms with the right side of our brain
Note: Does this make lefties better lovers?
“Drug companies should be including tests of orgasm function before marketing their drugs.”
Now there’s a Quality Assurance job that sounds fun!
For some people reaching orgasm can be a painful experience – if they are the one per cent of the population who suffer from sexual headaches.
Too much sex gives you arthritis Uh. I’m at a loss for words.
Sex is good for your immune system as well as your ego…people who report having sex once or twice a week have elevated levels of an immune protein found in saliva which is the first line of defence against colds and flu
Skip the flu shot! Stay in bed!
Why polygamous sex has its benefits
Three recent studies on sex reveal that polygamy holds biological benefits and dominated human history so much that it is imprinted in our genes.
…researchers discovered that while more men than women are squeezed out of the gene pool, Y chromosome variations indicate that those men whose genes survived tended to travel and to have multiple female partners.
Sex: do we really need it? Cool picture.
In response to the dog’s mess this morning I roared with anger. I was mad at myself and my anger came out directed toward my wife. Wrath feeds wrath. The uncomfortable silences, the distance, the awkwardness that follow an injustice irrationally placed upon another stokes the fires within the angry person as that person becomes more incensed at himself for having slipped in the first place.
Five more sins to go. I think I’ve got Lust covered.
