20:09 Arthur C. Clarke's three laws (the third is the most famous): #

20:10 1. When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. #

20:10 1 (Continued) When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong. #

20:10 2. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible. #

20:10 3. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. #

20:36 ive got Bodhi laying on my lap as i type up the last of my computer science project. he's so adorable #

21:11 should make a blog post about my new kitty; store that memory (and some pictures) away forever! #

16:08 but then some new guy with only 5 years of experience was promoted over him. The listener asked the complainer to be honest: #

16:08 you don't have 20 years of experience; what you really have is 2 years multiplied 10 times over. #

Valentines Poem

I wrote this poem to give to Annie for valentines day. Unfortunately I don't think she really liked it...oh well, it was fun writing at least.

Oh wherefore does this feeling come;
This spreading warmth, this young passion?
In you I see desire's fulcrum,
That tips the heart; makes me brazen.

Your smile, your laugh, your arm's embrace,
Boldly brightens the dullest day.
Your eyes, your mouth, your hair, your face;
They tease and tempt my dream's display.

Your beauty leads my mouth to treason,
You leave me mute, you send me reeling.
You're the cause, but what the reason?
What the name of my heart's feeling?

Then insight dawns, and I succumb;
Its love I feel- fierce and blithesome

Witches on broomsticks!

This is a really wacky youtube video I found posted on boing boing.

00:10 As school approaches I find myself thinking about ways I can integrate twitter into my learning/note-taking process... #

00:17 generally notes/dot points are <140 chars, so they should fit into single tweets, and I can connect via the schools wifi network #

00:18 Could create new twitter & blog accounts for note-taking then twit my notes and then use loudtwitter to export them to the blog 4 collection #

00:21 is doing that worthwhile? am i trying too hard to incorporate twitter? using Basket note-taking tools would probably be more effective... #
