Come to my office for sound advice…and lynchings!
Our new official EE department mascot Okay, the story behind this: We just got this new whiteboard in for the EE office and asked MP to hang it on the wall. Since it’s replacing an old defunct one, JR set the new one against the wall with “Please hang me” written on it, and the

Wizard of Oz: As for you, my galvanized friend, you want a heart. You don’t know how lucky you are not to have one. Hearts will never be practical until they can be made unbreakable. Tin Woodsman: But I still want one. I’ve mentioned observability issues far too many times already, so, I’m not going

Fucker. An easily-handled fucker, but a fucker nonetheless. Sorry for all of you (on the LJ side) who had to witness that.

*mostly* just a datestamp entry :-)
And if rain brings winds of change, let it rain on us forever. I have no doubt from what I’ve seen that I have never wanted more. With this line I’ll mark the past as a symbol of beginning. I have no doubt from what I’ve seen that I have never wanted more. Today was…a

So tired that I couldn’t even sleep. So many secrets I couldn’t keep. Promised myself I wouldn’t weep, that’s one more promise I couldn’t keep
Not sleeping…just dreaming. I couldn’t write any more, my eyes burned. I closed them and a face tried to eat me. Painted in motive watercolors in the noise behind my eyelids, the noise of randomness and neural crosstalk and every bright light I’ve ever glanced at. I folded myself into my bed, just for a

Lemme sleep on it…I’ll give ya an answer in the morning…
Decisions… dear bloggg, we have definitely had this conversation before. Not necessarily little meaningless decisions, nor always delicately-balanced fencepost ones that could fall one way or another at the whim of a gentle neural breeze. Sometimes they’re downright entangled, pulled simultaneously in several directions with such force that you’re almost afraid to touch them, that

F-word abuse: on giving a fuck, getting a fuck, and fucked-up progeny
It’s neat how there are a million little coincidences in life…a slice of (pi)zza at Wild Oats comes out to $3.14 after tax, the price of a phone card at the Radio Shack by my house matches the last 4 digits of my phone number, my morning ‘routine’ (the shaving and showering and so on)

Company Xmas party 2005 pics
Actually on Dec. 3, but I only just now got the pictures back :-) Clicky for pictures of my coworkers and I on the piss, including entirely too many pictures of me with my big red balls swinging around. Featuring a great dinner, open bar, hilarious video* (to us; but with inside jokes that require

It was sad, it was sweet, and I knew it complete, when I wore a younger man’s clothes
Ya… it’s cold out and I don’t really wanna go outside all that much, so what am I doing? I’m re-learning VHDL* of course! Think of it as a programming language, except one where as soon as the clock starts every line executes at once, in parallel, and continues executing continuously. Or every block, etc.,

None for me, thanks, I’ll just have a Boinkin Sheep(tm).

[meme] hey, this says I might actually reproduce…
61,690 descendants – you’re more genetically fit than 36% of the current population – 61,690. Not bad. You’re no Mongol warlord, but to have that many copies of your genetic code running around 800 years from now is pretty impressive. You’re at the lower end of the scoring spectrum, but, honestly, when you consider that

b[ack]log // [meme]
Bulk-blogging the last few days’ of stuff due to server outage, busy-ness and general hecticity… This is one of those annoying memes where you post the first sentence of the first entry of every month, and it’s supposed to be kind of like a mini-review of the last year of your life. Unfortunately my blog

Can you actually die from laughter?
The crisis has begun. The headlines are shocking, alarming. The Internet is under attack by dangerous, wicked abusers. These cyber-criminals must be caught, stopped and punished. STOP HACKERS NOW! There’s a Public Service Announcement. I especially loved this one. Oh Noes! they live in basements? I have a basement!!! *runs downstairs with a pointy stick*

Makes a great gift!
Poking thru webstats I came across a query for the phrase “axe deodorant poison” – so I got curious and searched for it myself…here was the first Google result. Poison on sale at fragrancenet.com; free shipping on poison at strawberry… Evil project postponed / out of my hair until further notice due to lack of

Dear bloggg, I need to leave you for a little while. Maybe only a few days. Too much annoying stuff going on. I’ve just gotten sucked into administering (fixing, hacking, patching, cleaning out, …) the cexxy forums, and cleaning out the email, and… workness. Seeker arm schmeeker arm, but I know a certain TMSc6713-based board

Hell.
Yesterday i had a dream about dying… about laying to rest, and then flying, How the moment at hand is the only thing we really own. Some time ago J.R. and I were in Fasika and got to talking about the possibility of an afterlife, and what the worst possible afterlife would be. In some

That makes my day. OK, not entirely…makes it slightly less sucky, but you’ve gotta start somewhere, right?
