I feel like I just dropped off the radar slowly and unintentionally, then all of a sudden I landed at Dulles and had to remember how to get home. A strange feeling really, but part of the reason I highly recommend change your perspective so entirely for long periods of time. You come [...]

Every time I land somewhere I’m reminded of an old line in short circuit “one piece will do” referring to bringing back a newly self aware robot in one piece.

It’s 8:30pm Eastern Standard Time and I’m writing a quick post before I walk out the door for home. It’s been an amazing time lately and I haven’t said much about what’s going on in my life. Two big deals today were that I submitted a website I created to the popular blog BoingBoing.net [...]
