Oil [Mar. 8th, 2005|10:37 pm]
OPEC is "concerned" about the rising price of oil... not concerned enough to lower the price of oil, of course...

You know... [Mar. 7th, 2005|10:12 pm]
I've had the same email address for almost 8 years. I've had the same cellphone number for 4 years. I've been working in the same building for 2 years. I keep a regular work schedule, and I am routinely in a martial arts class Wednesday and Thursday evenings.
If somebody honestly wanted to talk to me, I'm really not hard to find.
Really.

"The most valuable things in life
are not measured in monetary terms.
The really important things
are not houses and lands, stocks and bonds,
automobiles and real estate,
but friendships, trust,
confidence, empathy,
mercy, love and faith."

--Bertrand Russell

Lyrics [Mar. 3rd, 2005|06:37 am]
"Nothing you can know that isn't known.
Nothing you can see that isn't shown.
Nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be.
It's easy..."

--The Beatles, "All You Need is Love"

I seem to have picked up some kind of creeping crud... Ugh... I'm sneezing, coughing, popping Ricola like they were Tic-Tacs, and I feel like somebody's duct-taped a masonry block to my forehead... This is no fun...

This is the unsolved part of the puzzle of Kryptos.

Kryptos is a sculpture located on the grounds of CIA Headquarters near Washington, D.C., in the little courtyard outside the employee cafeteria. The sculpture contains hundreds of letters arranged in a highly complex code. Ever since the sculpture was installed in 1990, some of the best cryptographers in the world have been trying to decipher its message. As of February, 2005, 3/4ths of the message has been decoded... or, at least, they think it's been decoded...

Con report? [Mar. 1st, 2005|06:18 am]
Sorry, folks. What happens at Conflation, stays at Conflation. I will say, however, that I got to hang out with a bunch of really wonderful people, I had a fun time, and I can't wait to go back next year. I'm not at liberty to reveal much more.

Update [Feb. 27th, 2005|11:28 pm]
I'm back home.
I'm alive.
...And I'm sure there's going to be some sort of karma to pay for eating so many cashews over a three-day period...

It's funny how, surrounded by the pervasive gloom, the words of a friend can part the skies and make the world seem livable again.

Thanks, buddy.

Easter Egg [Feb. 24th, 2005|04:26 pm]
One of the neat things about movies on DVD is when an "Easter egg" gets snuck in. An Easter egg is a hidden feature, usually funny, and usually not on the DVD main menu. The Easter egg on the "Lord of the Rings" DVD, for example, was the video of Gollum winning an award at the MTV Movie Awards. On the recently-released DVD of "Final Fantasy: the Spirits Within," the Easter egg --if you can find it-- features Aki and the other movie characters acting out the video for the Michael Jackson song "Thriller"...

Joke [Feb. 24th, 2005|07:24 am]
Sitting in the pub, John O'Reilly hoisted his beer and said, "Here's to spending the rest of me life, between the beautiful legs of me wife!" That won him the top prize at the pub for the best toast of the night!

John went home and told his wife, Mary, "I won the prize for the best toast of the night."
Mary said, "Aye, did ye now? And what was your toast?"
Suddenly embarrassed, John said, "My toast? Um, I said... Here's to spending the rest of me life, sitting in church beside me wife."
"Oh, that is very nice indeed, John!" Mary said.

The next day, Mary ran into one of John's drinking buddies on the street corner. The man chuckled and said, "John won the prize last night at the pub with a toast about you, Mary."

She said, "Aye, he told me... and I was a bit surprised meself. You know, he's only been there twice in the last four years. Once he fell asleep, and the other time I had to pull him by the ears to make him come..."
