All is well on this end. I am working on developing an iphone application with some friends. It is almost ready for submitting. We shall see. Hope all is well with everyone. In the meantime you can have this to make you smile.

All I have to say is it hurts getting beaten by four of a kind on the river when you have the highest possible full house on the board and are all in.

I'm very excited about this rock band news.

So, NASA and my customers over at JPL pulled this off. That means that now we are going to get a steady stream of pictures and data from the North Pole of Mars. I love living in the future.

The piece touches on why the decision is so legally important as well as being morally good. It was an interesting read for me.

So,

The library system in Los Angeles is facing deep budget cuts and may start closing some branches. This is due to the perception that they are not a wanted resource for Angelinos. You can email the mayor and let his office know that this is actually something that is wanted by residents and those nearby neighbors who use the services.

You are The Magician

Skill, wisdom, adaptation. Craft, cunning, depending on dignity.

Eleoquent and charismatic both verbally and in writing,
you are clever, witty, inventive and persuasive.

The Magician is the male power of creation, creation by willpower and desire. In that ancient sense, it is the ability to make things so just by speaking them aloud. Reflecting this is the fact that the Magician is represented by Mercury. He represents the gift of tongues, a smooth talker, a salesman. Also clever with the slight of hand and a medicine man - either a real doctor or someone trying to sell you snake oil.

Outrage should follow, but it's not like there is anything we can do. Read this if you need a barrel full of rage today:

I can not tell you how much impact this man has had on me and pretty much everyone I know. I met most of my friends through off-shoots of this man's invention.

Current Mood: sad

I figured this would be a good time saving tool for all my friends on Halloween.
