I think for the first time in years I have no actual Halloween related plans this Halloween weekend. Pretty odd. I will, however, be intently watching the USC v. Stanford game. 
In more professional related news, I’m keeping an eye on the VS Tech v. Twitter case. Wondering how it will impact Twitter, it at all… (read more about it here).
Well I might just consider this
If you don’t let me down
If you can keep me happy
Well you can stick around
Now I don’t care for sycofants
They drive me round the bend
But if you can’t control yourself
Then let’s just keep good friends
Hello February! The shortest month with the most deadlines. Yay?
So this morning a sand truck lost control on the 101, went thru the median, came back, jack-knifed, and landed on a minivan. Needless to say it is still there, causing MAJOR traffic. I hate traffic. I want to work walking distance from where I live. Traffic has to be one of the most frustrating things city dwellers have to deal with.
Love the city, hate the traffic. Anyone have a helicopter they want to loan me?
So I posted a while back that I had “lost” my trusty pocket knife and wanted a new one. I just want to thank Armen V. for making that happen.
It is on my key chain and making me happy.
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
– Ralph Waldo Emerson
This quote so clearly states how I am trying to live my life. Starting each day as the new day that it is, forgetting the ridiculousness from the days before that shouldn’t have impacted me to begin with.
Wishing everyone a Happy New Year. May 2011 bring you happiness and health!
I hope everyone is having a pleasant 1.1.11. I’m starting off the new year by backing up my laptop! Something I meant to do all of 2010…
If you’ve been looking to do the same, here is a post on Lifehacker that walks you through using one utility.
Merry Christmas to all. Even if my post is a day late.
Let’s not forget that the little emotions are the great captains of our lives and we obey them without realizing it. ~Vincent Van Gogh, 1889
I’m serious. I lost mine a while back… Having it on my key chain is surprisingly useful. Who wants to replace it?
I’m thinking one of these:
Thanks in advance for taking care of this for me. 
Night, the beloved. Night, when words fade and things come alive. When the destructive analysis of day is done, and all that is truly important becomes whole and sound again. When man reassembles his fragmentary self and grows with the calm of a tree. ~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
