Timberlake's "Sexy Back" caught me in a moment of memetic vulnerability and I've been repeating the bridge most of the day.


Trying out Piecrust cms on Fedora. Laser fit my use case better, but I've not touched this site in several weeks. Satisfice instead.


Going through '60s birth lists on wikipedia for 1967 E2 article. These are overwhelmingly entertainers. Others - politicians, scientists - are about 2%. Luckily, I can suppress some of the American bias by visiting the wikis of other languages.


There's some dissonance in generating the site: where should links point? But, changing a couple dozen files by editing a template is powerful enough that my quibbles are irrelevant.


In the vicinity of Blizzcon today. Saw kerrigan statue again and remembered I have no idea what her story is, as I only played a handful of Starcraft single-player levels. So, I'll start watching some let's play videos (playing the game probably isn't the best).


So many calls from now on. So many names to remember. Evenings sacrificed. And yet, I must recognize that I have paid a higher cost in the alternative. Le sigh.
I have pretty much never been so gregarious in my life. What a difference a change in perspective brings. These are reasonable challenges for me or anyone, and I am committed to adopting them.


Returned from Santa Cruz vicinity trip. Wilderness outside the windows, but spent most of the time writing and listening. On the trip back, I'm sure I passed a tree that exploded from lightning.

The electro piano CD I ordered through kickstarter, from Paulette Wooten, arrived today. I've saved it but probably won't listen to it for a bit. Oh well.

Mecum auto auction this weekend. Most of the cars are bunched in the sixties and seventies. The outliers brought in from the nineties look positively dowdy when parked alongside.

Watched The Dallas Buyers Club with my family. It was moving, but definitely earned its R rating. I was uncomfortable.

I wonder if spreading a wrist calculator's buttons over the back of a glove would make it easier to use. I probably don't fit the use case for one, though.
