I first heard to about Edward Lorenz when I read all about his developments in weather modeling in Chaos: Making a New Science by James Gleick the most interesting book I ever spied in coles on the main street in Orillia, way back in 1987.
His writings and efforts toward explaining complicated systems inspired me on so many levels.

You Are 78% Evil

You are very evil. And you're too evil to care. Those who love you probably also fear you. A lot.

I was recalling my early memories of Toronto the other day over IM with a Ryerson chum now back in Sweden, and this song kept coming back and smacking me between the eyes.

Its hard to believe ass tattoos, lumberjackets and grunge ever went the way of retro in the midst of this little ditty. Its like a time capsule of something ... not sure quite what.

I am eating nestle quik cereal quickly before iz wakes up. I don't want to corrupt her.

Things have been pretty busy at work, things have been cool at home, but I'm starting to see the craziness slow down finally. I had such an aweful week last week with such a series of spectacular hardware failures that I decided to bite the bullet and finally pick up hardware to replace aging stuff.
Top of the pile was a new case and motherboard for my mythtv. It now fits nicely in our entertainment unit, winking away with its hard disk activity light.

I'm off this afternoon with Iz as Di had some appointments. Princess woke up screaming and is now demanding pizza as she was promised earlier in the morning.
I hope she never learns bacon is a topping on pizza, although I am ordering Hawaiian, which is pretty much the same thing.

In the time I have written this I have given 23 hugs and am currently watching Iz attempt to jump rope with my headphones.
