This is interesting. What possibilities

26, Aug 2003

This is interesting. What possibilities does the future hold for mankind? Will we ever beat death? If we do, how will those who live then survive the numbing centuries of existence.
I once thought that immortality would be a desirable state. At the age of 30, I’m not so sure. It [...]

This is sad

21, Aug 2003

A poll of Britain film fans by CNN lists the top 100 actors cetainly has it’s share of old actors but seems far too tilted towards modern actors. Cary Grant is the only actor who hails from the 40’s and 50’s era who made it to the top 10!
Neither Noel Coward or [...]

Funny tidbit

12, Aug 2003

Salon has an interesting article on female sexuality, but this snippet is interesting:
Or, he says, it could be something quite different: All women may be naturally bisexual, and society shapes most of them into heterosexuals. He says this could be an evolutionary trait, because women didn’t have to develop a sexual orientation when men, as [...]

Nature vs. Environment

12, Aug 2003

I use the term Nature as a category on this site rather than evironment for a very specific reason. The word evironment seems to convey that the implicit relationship between humanity and it’s surroundings are somehow seperate, disconncted. Nature, on the other hand, seems more inclusive.

Modern nature enthusiasts

12, Aug 2003

I’ve been a nature enthusiast for awhile. I love to bike through forests, go camping, canoeing, etc. For years now, I’ve read the works of the like of Emerson, John Burroughs, Thoreau, Whitman, John Muir (see a transcendentalist 18th century pattern unfolding here?), and today’s Theodore Roszak’s Voice of the Earth.

Inadequacy of bookmarks

11, Aug 2003

I am a Mozilla fan and I simply find the Bookmarks paradigm inadequate. I have two sets of Bookmarks, one at work and one at home. To keep them synched simply isn’t feasible if I want to keep the same structure of follders. IE with it’s favorites is easier in this regard [...]

Taxonomy!

8, Aug 2003

Alright, so I haven’t had the time to work on this yet, but I thought I would at least give a head up. What I intend to do is establish a taxonomy so that the posts here can be categorized so if visitors find one post interesting they will be able to explore similar [...]

Plans

6, Aug 2003

So here’s what I intend to do for this site. I need to add a footer with redundant navigation, beef up the right nav with archive links, org links, and other items. Once I get a new scanner, I will be adding a photos link to the primary nav. I also want [...]

And here we go

6, Aug 2003

Here we are! I finally got lucid vagary up and running using Movable Type (I will get the link up asap). I’m still working on some of the UI features but right now it’s functional enough to serve it’s purpose adequately. This is a really exciting moment for me. I’ve been [...]
