In A Perfect World: Shoulda Been A Lawyer

http://mytypewriterbroke.blogspot.com/2015/06/shoulda-been-lawyer.html

In A Perfect World. This wouldn't be necessary. Sunday, June 28, 2015. Shoulda Been A Lawyer. Because I like doing research more then most writing and engineering these days. The research is often just my alphabetical reading of a collection of source material. At the Library of Congress. I've learned a shitload reading these, and enjoyed nearly every one. But this week it consists of an actual book: Sacramento's Gold Rush Saloons: El Dorado in a Shot Glass. Am I milling this grist into stories? One nigh...

In A Perfect World: Why Too 'Kay

http://mytypewriterbroke.blogspot.com/2015/07/why-too-kay.html

In A Perfect World. This wouldn't be necessary. Thursday, July 16, 2015. I deleted many gigs of files. Today's batch was from a previous job in which I interacted with external customers such as Sony and Fujitsu. Reams of errata reports and product schematics were swept away. I felt like the guy who put the torch to the Library at Alexandria. Whut you never heard of the butterfly effect? Trust me, were not done with y2k. Check the vents on the back of your computer for curling tendrils of acrid smoke.

In A Perfect World: Work, Oakland, Burning

http://mytypewriterbroke.blogspot.com/2015/08/work-oakland-burning.html

In A Perfect World. This wouldn't be necessary. Friday, August 14, 2015. Work, Oakland, Burning. Today is the 20th anniversary of my first day working for Intel Corporation. Years ago, when blogging was all the rage, we hid our lives only a little less than we had in usenet. I was loth to allow the search term "Intel" lead to my page. I don't care about that anymore. Whatever reasons I had to care never really mattered. So I'm wearing a gray tee acquired on the MS Oosterdam. Anyway, the real point of thi...

In A Perfect World: Smells like NRE

In A Perfect World. This wouldn't be necessary. Monday, June 15, 2015. He has a clear voice that carries well, tailor-made for running sales strategy meetings. His office is two cubes from mine and I often have to use headphones to retreat from his phone conversations. Just now he was prattling away and I heard, ". smells like NRE ." and I thought that an interesting thing for a Mormon to say. Out loud. At work. Often abbreviated as NRE. But then I remembered. Oh yeah. At work. 10:17 AM, June 15, 2015.

In A Perfect World: Pride, they call it; why not

http://mytypewriterbroke.blogspot.com/2015/06/pride-they-call-it-why-not.html

In A Perfect World. This wouldn't be necessary. Saturday, June 13, 2015. Pride, they call it; why not. So we went down to Badlands. And the intersection of 20th and K was a madhouse of camp and frump. It was great. Anyway, whatever. I took pictures. The line being standed in. The bar overlooking the line. Some female impersonator getting phoned in. Some other female impersonator between the balloons. What is it with female impersonators? 7:16 AM, June 14, 2015. 7:18 AM, June 14, 2015. Where I is At.

In A Perfect World: Surely One of my Next Careers

http://mytypewriterbroke.blogspot.com/2015/06/surely-one-of-my-next-careers.html

In A Perfect World. This wouldn't be necessary. Tuesday, June 30, 2015. Surely One of my Next Careers. I was driving to the office singing along with "Margaritaville", filling in the space between lyrics with improvised wordless melodies such as Louis Armstrong would sometimes do, when a vision formed itself, lo before my very eyes:. I'm ADHD enough. With the right drugs I can do anything. But if I break it down . I know where I'd start. That crazy inventive streak. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

In A Perfect World: And Oh By The Way

http://mytypewriterbroke.blogspot.com/2015/08/and-oh-by-way.html

In A Perfect World. This wouldn't be necessary. Monday, August 10, 2015. And Oh By The Way. It's a full and interesting life, having bought a house to contain my lady and her tribe and myself in a space that serves us all, turning various parts of it into an art studio, a dance studio, a fix-it shop, a costume shop, a pool that grows algae really well, a place for writing if I somehow de-clutter it (can't write in clutter! The Scottish dancing has worked it magic! 8:12 AM, August 12, 2015. Where I is At.

In A Perfect World: An Old Notebook Found in a Box

In A Perfect World. This wouldn't be necessary. Tuesday, August 11, 2015. An Old Notebook Found in a Box. My son started at San Jose State in 2010. Downtown San Jose is a mixture of decrepit old men, college students, and immigrants of every stripe. Handwritten page dated May 26, 2010. 10:51 PM, August 11, 2015. 7:59 AM, August 12, 2015. I never read much outside the compositional norm. Do people actually read crap written like this? Semi stream of consciousness, illuminating every little thing? Work, Oa...

In A Perfect World: SCOTUS Schmotus

http://mytypewriterbroke.blogspot.com/2015/06/scotus-schmotus.html

In A Perfect World. This wouldn't be necessary. Friday, June 26, 2015. It was a little past noon and I was leaving Kaiser. After a doctor visit. I had been under orders to have a bleeding mole looked at and to ask about trichomoniasis. Ew, right? Point is, when I said to my doctor, eh, you don't wanna know, he said he should, because he was my doctor. And how nice it would be to check in on the old bro. So I called him while walking to the car. Oh, about the same.". Not his real name.). Well, so- ".

In A Perfect World: Up the Grade, etc.

http://mytypewriterbroke.blogspot.com/2015/07/up-grade-etc.html

In A Perfect World. This wouldn't be necessary. Friday, July 10, 2015. Up the Grade, etc. Phone is updating to Lollipop. I don't care about shit like that and would as soon it didn't bother. Except for one thing: Stupid device lost the ability to turn on wireless networks a few weeks ago and maybe this update will fix it. From there I took a break to start reading Paula. I saw one of those for something from the Motley Fool. I doubt that's a shock to anyone. I'm tempted to write that out. Knowing her...
