end of days

Yup. I’m waiting for the horsemen.

NOT because of the giant CF that our political system has suddenly become. You KNOW it has to have gotten bad for me to even mention it here. And while we’re on the subject, can someone explain Glenn Beck to me?

But, no, I don’t believe it signals the end of the world. The end of collective sanity, perhaps.

NOT because the weather’s suddenly gotten all crazy. Snow in Barcelona, and DC, mudslides in California, earthquakes … EVERYwhere. Yes, it’s a little scary, but easily explained by El Niño or global warming or the next Ice Age or any number of other perfectly plausible scientific explanations.

Fret not, children. It’ll be ok.

It’s NOT because of the whole 2012 thing, which, if you ask me, is just plain silliness. Although I can’t wait to see the movie when it comes to cable.

No, no, people.

I have solid, incontrovertible evidence of the end of days… just as good as rivers of blood or locusts or … or… ANYTHING.

The Linchpin Manifesto

I’m not much of a social media celebrity fangirl, but The Linchpin Manifesto from Seth Godin is fantastic. It’s going up in my office.

I’m tired of working on this one for now, so I thought I’d post it in progress.

I’ll put it with the others.

my father’s garden

If you don’t have 6 minutes to relax and view this amazing short film by Mirko Faienza right now, then WAIT.

When you do, grab a cup of tea and a set of headphones, sit back and enjoy this incredible view of life in a garden.

Ok, NOW I’m ready for spring!

OTH-B

Wow.

Talk about a blast from the past. I wrote the hardware/software interface for the receive and transmit sites of this Over-The-Horizon radar system.

In assembly language and Fortran.

Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth.
