The Long Something

smokingpen | June 29, 2009

I think I often have great plans to do big things. I think some of those big things include my blog and making it more popular and more accessible. Point, I started at the earliest posts editing them so that the links all went somewhere, images were either updated or deleted, and they cross-referenced older [...]

Searching for a State of Equilibrium

smokingpen | June 24, 2009

I’ve found that some of the things I want to be doing compared to many of the things I need to be doing have kept me out of a state of equilibrium for some time. Months. I like the idea of writing blog entries and have noted that the number of hits I receive a [...]

The Fall from Grace

smokingpen | June 6, 2009

Which, interestingly, might be the title of a book I write at some point. However, not really the point in all of this.
Some years ago I discovered an author (I will not be sharing any names) and the author’s work. I became quickly enamored of the writing and found myself following the individual both online [...]

Can’t Be Done

smokingpen | June 2, 2009

I think one of my biggest pet peeves, right behind people who don’t drive the speed limit and right in front of a highly reviewed and praised work of fiction that ends up being a pile of crap are people who are such big fans of a book or series of books that they immediately [...]

The White Screen or what happens when hard drives go to heaven

smokingpen | May 15, 2009

So, I got home from work this morning, did my thing-a-tee-thing and then sat down for some brief, but good, computer time. Yesterday was, in part, spent moving my desk around in the office, inserting large window A/C into small window, and making sure I was set-up and comfortable. On top of which, the thoughts [...]

I Should be Asleep

smokingpen | May 14, 2009

I worked all last night and about midway through the night took some stimulant (legal) to get through the rest of the night. As a result, I am a little wired, as happens whenever I do this, and am having trouble fathoming going to bed. Before I even thought about going to sleep, though, I [...]

Mind Mapping

smokingpen | April 26, 2009

As I look at that title I am reminded of something along the lines of a poorly written science fiction whatnot that has a group of scientists mapping the human mind with terrible, and deadly, consequences. Unfortunately, part of the poorly written is the poorly imagined and the deadly consequences. Fortunately, this is not what [...]

The Post to Rule Them All

smokingpen | April 22, 2009

Honestly, this isn’t that. I coudln’t think of anything to write for a post title and as a result, as soon as I start typing the program I use will save the post with a bunch of numbers, which (in its self) is easy enough to follow, but not exactly the convention I’ve used and [...]
