Never been one to let the carrier drop

go to the UW hospital I stayed at and apologize for not having been able to pay my whole bill yet, and tell them I’m still alive..

Whoever invented USB deserves a gold star. I was having a touch of carpal (I think maybe because I read about having some, and I was able to grab a favorite keyboard, plug it into the lappy, and use it instead. Carpal seems to be gone now, mmmmmm.. 😉

Sometimes when you can’t actually have pleasure, you have to settle for lack of pain.

I wonder..

(Now there’s a phrase that can get me into trouble)

The other day, when I flew a simulated plane over my house, I told Kayti she couldn’t hear it because it was the size of a electron. She responded with ‘And just how big is a electron, anyway?’ – and I haven’t a clue. So, can anyone tell me, in metric-system-friendly units? This isn’t like a assignment or anything, but if anyone happens to be like ‘oh, i know, i know’.. it’d be cool if ya commented! Bonus points if you can also tell me how we know.

I keep wondering, so perhaps I will make it a quest to wander down to the library and ask them sometime soonish..

what the heck was patent #1 for?

I can understand if these pages aren’t of any interest to anyone but me.

I’ve decided, after careful consideration, to believe that death occurs just to give the actor/person/string/soul a break when it just can’t find any ways left out of a conundrum, and that when someone dies, it doesn’t mean they aren’t anywhere, it just means they aren’t here.

To think otherwise would be heartbreaking. Because of Jeremy, and because of Daisy, and because of Holly, and because of all the others that have gone or will go.

I know that I isolate the rest of the world from me sometimes, but please don’t leave me all alone..

Day 8.. clockin’ in..

Ken Wilber seems to imply that he thinks God isn’t sentient. This seems intuitively wrong to me somehow, but it’s occured to me that perhaps I don’t know what sentient means. So, let’s check out dictionary.com.

Well, I’ll be. I always assumed it meant kind of the same thing as self-aware. But, it sure doesn’t. It means having sensory perception. Boy, must I have looked stupid using that word the way I have been. Um, oops.

I guess from now on I will be careful to use self-aware instead, unless anyone feels like that doesn’t describe what I mean..

Today, I did manage to take off and land a Cessna 172 (in MS FLight Sim 2004). The first time I tried I failed completely and the instructor had to take over. The second time I put it down, but I missed the runway by a little bit. The third time, between the lines and reletively smooth.

Next I guess I try driving, and a train sim, and keep working on that flight sim, and start writing some code again, and keep seeing the doctors, and watch and see how many days I can get on the day counter.

This is day 7. Sheer, clocking out.

I feel okay to drive today. (as you all will recall, I’m not clearing myself to drive until I can fly and land one in the simulator..)

Sheer punching in.

You know, I was thinking about it, and even on this side of myself I see the drug laws in America as totally unacceptable. There’s kind of a more overarching thing going on here, though. If a law leaves a catch-22, and someone can prove that on paper, the law should be struck. If a law leads to anger in even a small minority of the population, I also think maybe the law should be struck.

Must think on this some. Not that I’m ever likely to be in a position to strike laws, but since I get to inject memes into the meme pool from time to time, perhaps I can inject one that will reach those who are.
