My kids are swimming at the pool with Gramma. The water is beautiful blue and clear, the air is absolutely perfect at 25 celcius, the wind gracefully peeling off the 2 or 3 degrees of heat to make it breathtaking. This is why I love Winnipeg, people. You can’t understand the beauty until you have seen the awful nastiness of winter burned away. You should try.
Apparently we don’t consciously make decisions, but in fact our decisions are made for us by our unconsciousnesses before we’re even aware.
From the article, Get Out of Your Own Way, it seems some researches have discovered that through monitoring the automatic responses of our neurochemistry, they can predict our intentions or attitudes towards given information or situations.
a thoughtful post found here. it was passed to me from a friend, so I am reposting it.
From Darryl Mason: “It is simple insanity that a drug that can relieve and even halt the symptoms and spread of cancer is still being denied to those who could most benefit from it.

Wow, the iPhone is almost affordable. I am going to start working on theme-ing websites for iPhone format. There are some format templates available, and Apple provides some very powerful tools.
I finally got around to updating my resume today. I used LinkedIn to help me generate a PDF version, which you can download by clicking on the link in my right sidebar. I really need to get on the hResume XML Microformat based version so my resume is portable to various device formats, or maybe someone whose worked with hResume before could help me out. Time is always of the essence.
The weather is fantastic today; 21 degrees, sunny with big puffy clouds. I’ll go outside and take some lovely photos. Like these ones.
