Here's what I'm working and playing with nowadays. Here it is:



As you can probably guess, it came shipped without a 3.5" floppy drive and I added my own. It wasn't black, but a little with with a black Sharpie and some electrical tape... and I have a terribly mismatched floppy drive. As previously mentioned, I've been moving over all my old data (music files, music videos, installers for programs I use, etc...) and installing all my peripherals (cams & scanner) and playing games because now alot of the demo discs I have didn't work with my old computer. It's much fun.

And here it is in the dark. Note the glowing fan light in front.



A side shot in the dark. Another fan light in the side.



Here's the light responsible for the illuminated computer guts.

CN Tower

Sillouetted against the setting sun and the lake in the foreground. I have only one question: Why are people so afraid of the skywalk? If the CN Tower were blown up, that hard glass floor would be completely intact while the rest of it would be unrecognisable.

There are never enough hours in a day,
but always too many days before Saturday.

Keep in mind always the two constant Laws of Frisbee:

• The most powerful force in the world is that of a disc straining to land under a car, just out of reach (this force is technically termed "car suck").


• Never precede any maneuver by a comment more predictive than "Watch this!"

Excerpt from Stanislaw Lem's "Cyberiad"

In Riemann, Hilbert or in Banach space
Let superscripts and subscripts go their ways.
Our symptotes no longer out of phase,
We shall encounter, counting, face to face.

Human beings were created by water
to transport it uphill.

Excerpt from Henry David Thoreau's "Where I Live"

It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do. To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.

I am ready to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter.- Winston Churchill

How am I feeling? Why? Good mood, few complaints: I'm sick of this runny nose, sore throat and hurting nasal cavity. I'm also kind of dreading working on more links to post seeing as I'm down to my last prepared one. But, I've got another 60-something bookmarks to review, prepare and post later on so watch out for them all. I just can't stop finding this kind of stuff.
