“Don’t fight forces, use them.”

“I am convinced all of humanity is born with more gifts than we know. Most are born geniuses and just get de-geniused rapidly.”

“God is a verb, not a noun.”

“When I am working on a problem, I never think about beauty but when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong.”

R. Buckminster Fuller

Song of Lisp

Posted by ungraspiness Tue, 21 Feb 2006 00:23:00 GMT

I was taught assembler in my second year of school.
It’s kinda like construction work — with a toothpick for a tool.
So when I made my senior year, I threw my code away,
And learned the way to program that I still prefer today.

Now, some folks on the Internet put their faith in C++.
They swear that it’s so powerful, it’s what God used for us.
And maybe it lets mortals dredge their objects from the C.
But I think that explains why only God can make a tree.

“The Eternal Flame” parody lyrics Copyright 1996 by Bob Kanefsky, parodying “God Lives on Terra” by Julia Ecklar.

Out of the cryogenic chamber

Posted by ungraspiness Sat, 18 Feb 2006 01:03:00 GMT

I've been on ice for about a year now but my caretakers have just thawed me out.
Now that I have your attention... I'll be arriving in L.A. next week on Wednesday.

...Farenheit in Portland today :-)
The sun is shining brightly but the wind has been blowing most of the day. The electricity on our block just went dead around noon. It still hasn't come back on.

Saw this a few days ago. Not everyone’s cup of tea I’m sure but the mix of human with cgi characters is something worth seeing. more here.
