Too much joy
I'm making a category for joy. Why? 'cuz the dumbest little things can cause just too much of it.

Bossa Nova to Tokyo
my souls been all non stop around the world with a ghost, shimmering in high speed super eight film shots of joy upon joy upon joy.

Folder Synchronizing on Mac OS X
I'm still in search of a good (cheap) folder synchronizer for Mac OS X, to sync my OmniOutliner documents between my iBook and Workstation. Softobe's FolderSynchronizer X looks like it would be good if I were living in a world of pure Carbon, but it really doesn't take into account OmniOutliner documents that have no type/creator information.

It's times like this that I really want an object file system, where I could have a folder on my G4 that was really just a query that found all my outliner documents so that I could sync/backup files easily.

As it stands right now, they're hard to even search for in Sherlock, since I tend to mark the "hide extension" box to get hide the tailing .ooutline, which makes a "search for filenames ending in ..." query much less practical than you think it would be.

Vary a situation by a few minor degrees
I remember watching coverage of a "women in support of guns" rally on CSPAN a year or two ago. One of the women told a story of how her husband was beating her, and she ran to the gun cabinet (with her husband chasing her), got the gun, and turned it on him and was able to hold him off until the Police came. She seemed so grateful for the gun.

Would she have felt the same of her husband had gotten to the gun first and turned it on her? Or would she instead be marching in a "women against guns in the home" rally? Or, if this guy was mean enough to beat her, do you think he'd be more prone to shoot her if he got to the gun first?

Tokyo Mon Amour
Working through exhaustion, being kept alive by a hypr-bouncy playlist full of Pizzicato 5, and four versions of Tout, Tout Pour Ma Cherie.

Much of my recent writing has been going on in my instant outline. I'll try to publish the compound document stuff here soon.

Without fail... Up, every night, until at least 2AM. No real reason to be either. It just seems to take four hours to make it up the stairs. And my sunglasses have annoyed me by disappearing.
