Perception is Reality

...and reality does not exist.

I've been asked by more than one person about my poetry. What does it mean? Please explain it.

I can't. I won't.

I think poetry, posts, are art (With apologize to Ash: good, bad, I'm the guy with a keyboard) and my attempt to explain it to you will fall short of your own interpretations.

I also caution you that I myself might interpret my own work differently that what you think is obvious, logical, or most likely. I.e., If you think the post is about you, it might be, or it might be as a dream with symbolism only I can recognize. Or, I can't recognize it either but it is the imprint of emotions and memories that key to something more than just reading some words.

That said, if you want to get to know me in person, you might gain some insight into my personality. No profile can define me. Attributes are isolations and about as useful as one chemical in my makeup to a scientist - "Yes. Carbon - but is it intelligent life?". If you are lucky, we might share ideas that make us happy.

I hope someone, somewhere, enjoys my posts.

Here and there

Sometimes I'm here and sometimes I'm there posting blogs in other places. Reminds me that information is only relevant to the purpose for which it is organized.

At any rate, if you don't find me here you might know where else to look. Of course if you are looking you might try my yahoo photos - among other places ;)

Long life?

...is a chinese curse. Or at least "Brevis ipsa vita est sed malis fit longior" seems to indicate that life is half empty as it is full.

A FYI for all of you who don't know; "A" and I are no longer "an item" as they say. I wonder what a non-item would be?

Monday mourning

I mourn the loss of my weekend ( typing /mourn into my chat window ).

How sad is it that when I came to work I automatically placed my fingers on the A, W, D combonation as if I was driving my World Of Warcraft (WoW) character about?

The really weird part is how I think the WoW interface could be used in a desktop setting. Not in it's current incarnation, but close. I've experimented with other 3D interfaces on Linux (shh, don't ask, don't tell) but couldn't find one that really performed anything other than eye candy. There are a few useful demonstrations, but lack of any full system with applications designed for 3D use and designed for that type of user interaction.

I tell you another thing; sound rocks. I've turned down all the special effects and turned up the ambience in WoW. I've observed the game becomes much more emmersive, which if you've played WoW is scary. I can also tell what zone I am in without looking. I find it cues me in to expect certain animals and non-player characters. Sound is a subtle but easy to ignore attribute that really does enhance playability and enjoyment of the game.

Not that I played all weekend. I finished my college work for the week, read my Heavy Metal magazine, installed and connected to my Kuro Box (still trying to determine what firmware I wish to run).

Back to School!

Well, I'm back to school!

As part of my attempt to focus on learning, I'm going to keep a diary. Hopefully this will help increase my desire to write and eliminate some of the writing blocks I have in my personal and professional work.

This makes me happy

That rocks.

Ah...time

Well, it seems I haven't been here for quite some time. I want to start posting some items related to my professional work (or line of work to be more specific) but I don't know if that is professionally sound.
