It just is

It’s been a really bad week at the FOJ. The worst sort of arbitrary bureaucratic decisions f&&king with people’s lives. Stunned like after a body blow. Tears. Crushing headaches and gut-aches. Talking begging waiting. Looks like a middle course will be found (I hope; I find out this morning). And true gratitude for someone usually weak as a kitten who spoke up for once on our behalf.
For all this, it’s things like this that can bring a refining. A clarity of goals and purpose. One chooses a perspective and determines what’s meaningless and what’s important enough to fight for. And a gratitude for the valued people in one’s life.

Wait for GrandCentral over?

Ah, I see that Google Voice will soon be available. I missed signing up for GrandCentral. I’m pretty intrigued.

I’ll still keep Skype etc. Very very interesting.

The tape loop out of my mouth says, “I will catch up this weekend then I will not work on ‘puter any more on weekends and will instead paint.”

I got a hopeful thrill rethinking that as I look at some of the work in this SF group show (seen via Twitter @laughingsquid).

Appending…(as I go through twitterlinks)…Art from the business end of things.

Worthless scum-sucking leeches

You’d think (but you’d be wrong) that people associated with something as good as Sitepoint (who publish pretty excellent books and have a lively design business community online) wouldn’t stoop to such low business practices but you’d be wrong, as this Bullshit 2.0 article describes.

Goes a bit hand-in-hand with the Flickr pic I just uploaded (friends + fam only).

Office jobs, office equipment…

It can be an ugly mix.
