Chicken Soup "You are not inadequate... " For people like me who always go to sleep tired, feeling left behind. posted in [home], [snippets] 11:16:14 PM    comment [] Village Idiots I've always joked with friends about being born in another time period.  Most people are taken aback (what a freak) when they find out how much I like working with computers.  The same folks are also taken aback at my lack of skill with other facets of life (home improvement, self organization, manual labor, etc... ). In class today we were joking about the possibility of our jobs being outsourced when someone volunteered that we'd have to find other things to do.  It got me thinking that I'd be a pretty useless person if I couldn't work with software. And then by extension I thought of all those village idiots of yore who were just like me but not born to be good laborers.  Maybe those homeless people we see on the street are just spaceship pilots, or nanodesigners, or virtual reality actors. posted in [home], [prattle] 4:15:51 PM    comment [] South Dakota, Blogs, Technology South Dakota is rarely associated with technology or the cutting edge web but the Wall Street Journal has a piece about how bloggers there usurped the local paper to push their candidate, John Thune, to victory in the elections last November. It's a bit of an embellishment; many people I met just seemed tired of Daschle, but it makes me happy to see bloggers taken seriously. posted in [home], [snippets] 1:31:11 PM    comment []
