Random Life and Technology Bits

Technological Side Effect Invades

The classic sci-fi movies of the 60’s and 70’s should have taught the populace at least two things. First, future technology will be wonderful and good for all mankind. Second, something always goes wrong and creates an equally spectacular problem. Information Technology may not be a hard science like bio-engineering, partical physics, astrophysics, etc but occasionally something accidentally gets created that is both interesting and terrifying.

The Cat5 critter in the picture above crawled out of the computer lab. It’s intentions were unknown and like any sane character it had to be quelled. It wasn’t alone, several organic life forms followed it. Presumably to launch a broader attack on critical systems. Fortunately the army was able to step in and halt the advance. As of 0600 hours the situation remains gridlocked.

 

Today Is The Day

Googling “Today is the Day” produces an interesting cross section of results from popular culture. Seems the algorithmic genius of Google can’t decide so it throws a smattering of results.

What does it mean to you?

“What does it mean to me?” you ask? I’m so glad you did. Honestly, not that I have a lot to say on the matter but I’d be amiss not to testify that, to me, it means:

The LORD has done it this very day;
let us rejoice today and be glad.
Psalm 118:24

 

 

 

Labor Day ‘WoW’

World of Warcraft Board Game

Had a wonderful Labor Day with LL, BR, and AM. The game was a learning experience. I knew there was a reason the chain mail I was wearing was so itchy (my character was only capable of cloth armor). By the Time LL and I got out characters in working order BR and AM had strategized, powered up, and were making quick work of conquering their quests. After 7+ hours and lots of conversation BR and AM were declared the winners after LL and I were beat to a pulp by a plastic mushroom looking figure (it was much more terrifying in person).

Despite prior defeats I look forward to another adventure even if it turns into a desperate scramble for survival :)

 

Me, Myself, and I at the Beach

The waves rolled Me around the surf.
They excited myself, terribly so.
I let them take me for a ride.

 

The breaking waves kept pushing Me back.
Kicking and paddling propelled Myself across the breakers to wait for a wave.
All so I could enjoy the ride!

Me, Myself, and I sat on the beach with the
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

It was refreshing to be in such good company at the beach.
