Luck of the Draw - Caught in Contemplation. Luck of the Draw. Laquo; previous entry. Next entry ». Apr 14th, 2009 01:10 pm. Nationals was the weekend before last. Steve and I danced well, I think. overall the dancing is getting better - ours and, sadly, everyone else's. At least we left with dancing that we felt good about, with moments we really really loved, and with a clear sense of our goals (even if they mean we have a lot to work on). To Do lists are becoming very good friends. Even considering the...

How did I not find this language years ago? Or my 'finding lisp') - Kreelys Journal. How did I not find this language years ago? Or my 'finding lisp'). Jul 1st, 2009 09:53 am. One can go through life feeling very clever and up to date, learning paradigms like object oriented programming, grokking new languages (like Python and C#) and getting really good at DB interaction. I still haven't finished SICP (still on my list to finish off), but one quote in the foreword really stuck with me. And resolved to a...

Reply to Negroponte - Accretions. I couldn't help but submit a comment disagreeing with parts of a recent post by OLPC founder Nicholas Negroponte. On Boston Review. The original post to which he.

Another crazy weekend. - Blakes Blog. Jan 30th, 2006 12:49 am. Its been another crazy weekend here in Blakeland. I went dancing on Saturday at a place on 6th called Anu. It was fun, though I'm still partial to Qoöl. I ran into someone I sort of knew from Penn. She was friends with the pobox crowd, and I had met her at least once before. She still lives in Philly, works in in one of the Penn labs, and was just in town visiting some friends. Pretty random. After climbing, I spent the evening with.

Just something quick - Caught in Contemplation. Laquo; previous entry. Next entry ». Jan 6th, 2010 02:57 am. It's 2010. Woah. This is quick, because I'm (still) in New Zealand, more in love with the country than ever, having a fabulous honeymoon which I think I might write about later when the internet isn't going out every few minutes. I have a few goals for 2010, but only one resolution. something simple and hard all at once. Jan 6th, 2010 11:38 am (UTC).
