to quote keanu, "wooooah"

"Rovelli, the advocate of a timeless universe, says the NIST timekeepers have it right. Moreover, their point of view is consistent with the Wheeler-DeWitt equation. “We never really see time,” he says. “We see only clocks. If you say this object moves, what you really mean is that this object is here when the hand of your clock is here, and so on. We say we measure time with clocks, but we see only the hands of the clocks, not time itself. And the hands of a clock are a physical variable like any other. So in a sense we cheat because what we really observe are physical variables as a function of other physical variables, but we represent that as if everything is evolving in time."

organization

it's frustrating how last night, while trying to fall asleep I was thinking like a blogger. I thought in complete and even edited sentences.
"thought thought thought-no wait, THOUGHT thought thought"

Now I can't remember any of it- and I wonder why I would even think like that. Since when did I become fluent in the language of facebook, twitter and (though I'm really bad about it) blogspot? I hate when I catch myself doing that- thinking something and then edited it to the appropriate twitter-size, or facebook-wittiness factor.

Maybe I need to keep a notebook with me all the time so I remember the things I have to talk about. This would also come in handy when meeting new people. I could use it as a small-talk registry. Outline all the things I could say to any kind of person anywhere. Awkward silences be damned.

I also hate how these posts have little to no organization. But now I just thought, "But your BRAIN has little to no organization. Wouldn't it be really weird if all your thoughts were organized?
"FIRST we're going to think about what you want to eat. Then, once we get that out of the way, we can move on to all the things that bother you at work. If we can cross that off our list in a little while, then and ONLY do we have some wiggle room for day dreaming."

Wow I need to get back to work.

ouch

inevitable glasses

it terrifies me how much time i spend staring at the computer. After 8 hours of staring at it at work...it seems kind of sick that a lot of the time I come home and stare at it some more.

My 20/20 vision is probably getting read its last rights

the namib desert

I honestly think this is one of the most beautiful pictures ever taken.

It reminds me of dreams.

color of the year

At the moment, nothing makes me happier than this picture, along with the caption "Moth, you look ready for a pride parade!"

Pantone announced (awhile ago) that the top color for 2010 is turquoise. It seems popular in fashion, interior design, graphic design...
I'm starting to think my dream job would be to work at pantone and just deal with colors all day.

Mondays are hard and I just feel like I'm at a dead-end when it comes to any creativity I feel towards writing. I finished (and by finished I mean e-mailed the proof, waiting for edits, waiting to print...a process that will take waaaay longer than I want it to) a design (12 page spread) for the Curriculum Guide today. It was sort of a rushed project, but I forgot how much deadlines inspire creativity.
