jazzfishMistakes I've Made: Drinking Four Loko: "Four Loko Blue Raspberry is abhorrent and I can only imagine that these cans are filled by a long assembly line of Smurfs vomiting."
An Experiment in Accurate But Misleading Movie Descriptions: "Back to the Future: A bewildered teenage boy fends off his mother's disturbing and unnatural attraction to him."
Inventor's 2020 vision: to help 1bn of the world's poorest see better: "Silver has devised a pair of glasses which rely on the principle that the fatter a lens the more powerful it becomes. Inside the device's tough plastic lenses are two clear circular sacs filled with fluid, each of which is connected to a small syringe attached to either arm of the spectacles."
Geek Luddites: "The concept of computer has radically changed in that vision [of 'ubiquitous computing'] in a way which is much more than giving the navigation system the pleasant voice of Majel Barrett. We know this because if it hadn’t, a quarter of the fucking Enterprise crew would be the IT department."
Henge Docks: "Henge Docks has created the first truly comprehensive docking station solution for Apple's line of notebook computers." Mine's on preorder and will, I hope, be here by the end of the month. Not that I'll really be able to use it that soon, since as far as I know my desk chair hasn't miraculously gotten any less painful to use, but hey. Maybe I can figure out how to use it, with appropriate incentive.
I have never had a bad experience having lunch (or dinner, for that matter) at La Sandia, no matter the company. I should remember this more often. Meanwhile, thoughts on "friends" continue to bounce around my head and not settle out in any coherent fashion, as they're wont to do. The short version being that I'm not used to having "friends" anymore, if I ever was. Acquaintances and very-close-friends / sigoths / partners I can do, it's that middle ground where I'm uncertain. This has been a good year for fumbling through that uncertainty.

Date: 2010-11-18 08:45 pm (UTC)My unrequited friend-love tends to be a general condition, not focused on specific people. Based on that bafflement above, it seems that when it /is/ requited I don't know what to do with it.
But, I do think you're neat, and we should hang out more, and all of that stuff.
