The sun will come out...

River Run Fun. Pack it on. You can wait all year to run. You only need to run this weekend and then it can validate all of your slothful ways.

March Madness fatness. Drink it up. Let's make as many excuses as possible to drink, eat and be merry. You can drink for every game. You can drink two pitchers of beer, and eat 30 buffalo wings today. Because tomorrow is another day.

Be wary. Wary of excuses. Excuses not to exercise good judgement. Living for tomorrow when your diet will begin. Tomorrow morning when you'll start your exercise routine, again. Tomorrow morning when you'll do something constructive, again. Tomorrow morning when you'll make the right choices, again.

Tomorrow. Tomorrow. I'll start a new life Tomorrow. Tomorrow's a brand new day.

Operating System

Let me look at my Availability. Do I have the bandwidth for this? Can we work it into our workflow. Into our timetable. Into our functional unit. We are all execution units. We are the source code. We look at the human-readable binary data and extract it's core. It's said that text files have a low entropy rate, and that the data is necessary and sufficient. That we can believe in if and only if logic. That it is connective between statements.

Which means that the truth of either one of the statements requires the truth of the other. Thus, either both statements are true, or both are false. So there is a black and white. There is a wrong and right. Some things are sacred. Some things are real. Some things are objective.

You can trust in that. You can believe in that.

Click

The power to change things. The power to transmit data and ideas and communicate. The power to reach out and touch someone through the transfer of Megs and Gigs and interface with your yourself and others. You do it all day and don't realize how often.

It populates your daily soundtrack. It is the sound of work being done. It is the sound of interfacing with your world. It has all come down to this. Millions of years of evolution. It can extend your body and mind and soul. It can instantly give you the power to reach, teach, and entertain. It gives you the power to build and destroy relationships.

With the power of this. With the power of this, click . . . click. click.

Hyrule Memories

Group Think controls imagination and Fairy tales. Write legends. Remember playing The Legend of Zelda at twelve years old on a summer afternoon. Rubbing your thumbs raw after hours of joystick pistol clicking. Packing on the weight eating Doritos. Tuning it all out as you explored Hyrule.

Rockstar game designers are shaping our cultures one first person shooter, one role playing game at a time. Making fantasies in 3-d wireframe environs they are teaching children to escape their realities. Teaching children to to live inside thier heads. Inside their imaginations.

Teaching soldiers how to kill and fight in an urban settings. Teaching soldiers to not shoot the innocents. Teach soldiers that there isn't anything friendly about friendly fire.

Teach us all. Teach us to believe in ourselves again. Use your technologies to evolve us, shape us, make us into our Utopian potential. Clean again. One again. Alive again. One video game under God.
