“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.” - Dr. Seuss

The Meaning of Life

It's fairly easy, and a construct of existentialist philosophy. There are two branches of explanation to the meaning of life. These are broken down into consequences and content. Consequences would be an expectation that life is building up to an ultimate goal, or that anything a human being does has an ...

A Little Enlightenment Post

I loved this little story that I came across tonight and just had to post it for anyone that happens to read it. It comes from "Buddhism Plain and Simple" by Steve Hagen. There is an old story about a man who came to see the Buddha because he had heard ...

What happened to Killer Bees?

"Soon the Killer Bees will occupy territory north to San Francisco and Richmond, essentially half the United States" Well, I for one, await our Killer Bee overlords. And I am still waiting, some ten years later. Where did they go? I guess these bees weren't the conquering sort. This bee decides to ...

Escapism for the Disillusioned

This post is actually something that I wrote over a year ago. I am clearing out my saved posts in Wordpress and found this one and many others. Of all the little snippets of posts that are not finished, this one looks mostly complete, so I figured I would publish ...

Vista Tips – Customizing the Send To Command

Alright, I went to add notepad and wordpad to my Send To folder like I always have for each of the previous operating systems. Thanks to the "simplified" (and admittedly cleaner) users folder and the disappearance of settings, I could not find the way to customize the Send To command. ...

Windows Vista 64 Bit Downgrade to 32 Bit Woes

An alternate title for this post could be "How I managed to memorize my Vista key in one day." In previous versions of Windows when you purchased the Upgrade version of the new operating system you could always just insert the CD of the previous version during the install to verify ...

The Heroes Finale (or Fizzle)

This post is obviously a spoiler, I would avoid reading it if you have not seen the show! Then again you can probably predict the ending if you have ever imagine up a semi-happy ending to some kind of hero like possible disaster. Was it just me or was the Heroes ...

Work in Progress

I am in the process of reviving this blog and finishing some kind of easy redesign. WordPress has grown a lot since I started using it, so I am incorporating many things quickly with themes and widgets, but will have to customize everything over time. I am very busy lately since ...
