Fevered Dreams

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always had strange, tense dreams when I fall sick.

The earliest one that comes to mind, which I first had around four or five, was about a roller coaster made of pins.  There was a giant doughy ball that rolled down the roller coaster, and for some reason, the thought of it would leave me hysterical, crying and asking my mother if “it was going to be okay.”  Of course, when asked what I was talking about, the description of the above that I gave her didn’t exactly plead my case.

The most recent variations of this dream – or feeling, really, of tension and frustration – came to me this past week.  The first involved teleportation, the second, James Cameron.  Yes, really.

My teleportation dream, which was stuck in a loop much like the roller coaster dream, involved me trying to figure out the best and most efficient way to setup a teleportation device at our office so that everyone could teleport in and out at their leisure or as work required.

The James Cameron dream was about me meeting the director as he was putting the finishing touches on his new memory storage system that consisted of a portable CD player-type device and half-inch-thick discs the diameter of a golf ball made of metal and  glass that glowed to convey how full they were.

Unfortunately – thankfully? - that’s all I can remember now.

When You Feel It

Just a new song for all of you who visit frequently. More content in a week or so, once I've got the exams out of the way.

When You Feel It
Brett Dennen
From the album So Much More

This is where the lyrics would go. But I can't find them. And I'm too lazy busy to transcribe them.

Cheers.

Chris Wants a MacBook Pro. Now.

I've been telling myself that I'll hold off on upgrading the notebook till next fall... But after reading about Parallels' newest release of Desktop and seeing this screenshot (via Daring Fireball)... Sigh.

That's it: sigh.

And you've got to love that catch-phrase: "Windows is the new Classic". That John Gruber... He just cracks me up.

Update:
And one Michael Verdi has a nice video demonstration... Yowza.

Yet Another Update:
And if this rumour is true, then that's what I'll be getting. Nothing beats my 12-inch PowerBook for portability.

And Now, For a Little...

Twelve Days of Christmas

A YouTube Original, perhaps.

More of such festive nonesense in a bit. Really, really.

Lifestream

I just occured to me that I have PHP. So, this one's for all those especially voyeuristic folks out there: My (online) Lifestream

All credit goes to Jeremy Keith of Adactio. But I hope to modify it a bit more and do something useful with it.

More soon. Really.

Oh, and until I learn some more PHP, the time's off by around four hours.

Splish, Splash

The portfolio push has begun. And, this here blog has a new url: http://digitalmud.ca/write/.

No worries if you use the RSS feed though.

Cheers.

No Mayoralty for You

As I was walking down St. George Street a few minutes ago, someone handed me a flyer for a student from Ryerson University who's running for Mayor.

Here's a quote:

I am running for mayor because I feel that youths are not properly represented in politics and our opinions are always voiced but rarely taken seriously. As a student, I feel that working together and supporting each other as a whole; I can represent a larger, younger voice in politics

What can I say to that?

Sorry my friend, but there's no way I'm going to vote for you if you don't know how to use a semicolon properly. It's a matter of principle.

The least you could have done was to have someone, preferably an English major, proofread your paper.
