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 [...]

Which, interestingly, might be the title of a book I write at some point. However, not really the point in all of this.

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 [...]

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 [...]
