Work progresses, but nothing noteworthy yet. I thought I would just capture a couple pieces of flotsam from my life.

The first, an Anaïs Nin quote from yoga class tonight: “When you make a world tolerable for yourself, you make a world tolerable for others.”

Notes for 18 February 2010

will — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 05:28:08 +0000

The sort of work I’m doing currently is to work consistently toward a goal and see how much progress I make. Since I know so little about the technologies I’m working with it’s really hard to tell just what I’ll get done.

Schweppe’s Films

I mentioned a while back liking films with a bit more of a grown-up feel. Interestingly, Schweppe’s Tonic Water sponsored a series of short films. They’ve all got the obligatory Schweppe’s bottle somewhere in them, but there’s some intriguing cinematic quality there as well.

Ma Premiere Quiz

will — Fri, 10 Dec 2004 03:33:00 +0000

This is the first time I’ve ever quizzed. I was taken with this one which I saw in rumielf‘s journal:

You scored as Chaotic Good. A Chaotic Good person is someone who has little intrinsic respect for laws or authority, seeing them as insufficient to sustain what’s right. These people work according to their own moral compass which, while good, is not necessarily always aligned with that of society. Despite their chaotic tendencies, these people are good at heart.

Chaotic Good		75%
Lawful Good		60%
Neutral Good		60%
True Neutral		60%
Lawful Neutral		30%
Neutral Evil		25%
Chaotic Neutral		25%
Lawful Evil		25%
Chaotic Evil		25%
