10:29:34 PM Just got back from my workout at the Y. Today was weights (upper body) and crunches. What a fantastic way to unwind. Something about the focused effort and rhythm that dissolves the unwanted residues of the day. End of the day is best for me, ideally between 3 and 4, but it's not always possible. Do I miss karate? Yeah, after training for seven years, but my injuries are almost nill these days and I'm in better shape than ever.

6:18:47 PM I love Radio Paradise. I've been enjoying more more music and buying more CDs than I have for years. The palpable presence of another music lover, of a point of view, of a mind on the radio - that's what it should be all about. Memo to Industry: don't screw this up.

4:20:49 PM Yesterday, while trying to complete a large documentation project and get ready for next week's courses, I had to quickly figure out how to create context-sensitive links using a particularly lousy piece of software. On days like that, between excoriating blasts and exasperated sighs, I dream about working with people or birch trees or suspension bridges or goat cheese or apple cider. Pretty much anything but computers.

1:01:00 PM A search for 'weblog' on Workopolis turned up exactly 0 hits. I wonder what that number will be like in 12 months? Others:
  • Content management - 19
  • QuickTime - 0
  • Flash - 25
  • GoLive - 3
  • DreamWeaver - 22

9:55:43 AM You have to wonder what evolutionary strategy has carried the June bug this far. They can barely fly or walk, they're noisy beyond belief for a bug and their navigation system is second only to the moth. I bet they taste like crap.

June bug brambles across 
Geometric concrete expanse
Uncertain and halting on every axis
Acutely aware of a brief opportunity
Unable to make the most of it
Buzz-saw frustration fills the night


9:53:23 AM And so it begins.
