Everyone is crazy

Ohhhh ya...

Almost everyone is missing the point
Don't they get it
Maybe it's just me
Maybe it's just me

Almost everyone is crazy
Don't they get it
Maybe it's just me
Maybe it's just me

I don't have the time or the patience anymore
They don't feel the need
Is everyone crazy, but me
Maybe it's just me

Time / Summer Time

"Time seems to move so quickly these days".

Actually, time moves at precisely the same pace as always. However as a percent of our total experience, we see it differently.

Why then - when I was a kid, did summer seem to last longer?

A season (let's say summer - I like summer) lasts for three months. At age 50, a season is .005 of my total experience. At age ten it was only .025 of my total experience. So at age ten, summer (as a percent of total experience) was 5 times longer.

There you have it.

Memo to driving ranges

Some of you who own or operate a driving range, have a policy that prohibits people from bringing their golf bags. You want folks to only bring the clubs. Apparently, you're afraid that people will steal your balls. That's silly. If you have another reason, let me know. Send me an email at what@tenbucksworth.com.

Just for the record; if you have this policy, you are most likely a knucklehead. Let me know if you want to get out of the business - perhaps I'll buy it (depending on location and other factors), or maybe I can help you sell it. However, you really should go do something else.

Alternately, you can just let your customers bring their bags.

Stuck?

Cut = Haste
Measure and cut = Notion
Measure twice and cut = Process
Measure many times and cut = Inefficiency
Measure continuously without cutting = Problem

KT Tunstall - Big Black Horse

She is creating loops, probably on a delay modeler of some type. The technology isn't all that amazing, but she's put the performance together well. Nicely done.

Enjoy...

Drawing Board

Aha!

I messed with an idea enough to conclude it was not worth pursuing. "Back to the drawing board" I thought.

Then I realized, I don't have a drawing board. I have paper and such. I have a computer, but I do not have a drawing board. How can one go back the drawing board when there is none?
I must go out and purchase a drawing board. I'm sure this will make quite a difference. Yes indeed.

Happy Ester

Esters are organic compounds in which an organic group (symbolized by R') replaces a hydrogen atom (or more than one) in a hydroxyl group.

Clumsy Natives & Chocolate Clair

Two unheard of bands who may never ever be seen:

Clumsy Natives & Chocolate Clair

They are rumored to be merging.

No say?

Say.


Interesting stuff.

One of your assignments is to keep track of 100 pennies. Unless you continuously monitoring all activity without losing focus, you would have a tough time recognizing when one was missing. You could periodically count them all to verify the original number.
Instead - arrange them 10 by 10 and glance.
