I was just randomly thinking about teleportation the other day. Don’t ask. I have faaar too much time on my hands these days. One of my coworkers at Pratt told me that one of her relatives who was studying physics had done a research paper about teleportation. More specifically: If a person is teleported does [...]
It seems I have been passed a book baton by Electra. Thankfully while in Sri Lanka I did purchase [and read] a bunch of books. I would have been a little embarassed if I had got this 6 months ago! I figured I’d do it since a bunch of others already have. Here we go…

“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication”-Leonardo da Vinci
This post inspired by: Why Good Programmers are Lazy and Dumb found via the Scobleizer.
I’ve often said “It’s my laziness that leads to my efficiency.” I don’t like doing repetitive tasks so if I end up stuck with one I’ll always find the quickest way to get it over [...]
“I’m not a big guy”, I said. “Don’t worry. There’ll be a lot of big guys there who’ll be watching out for you.” was the response. Someone who used to attend our church has a security company and yesterday was asking if I’d be able to fill in for the night. I decided to go [...]
I was asked to speak to the new students at the JMSB coop orientation session today. I prepared the speech this afternoon and delivered it a couple of hours later. I had a couple of jokes, which always concern me in case people don’t laugh! Good news: they were laughing! :)
I got some very positive [...]
Quick summary of the last 6 days:
Thur/Fri: Went to OT (Ottawa) to see E. Nothing terribly exciting. No crazy stories this time unfortunately. Well, we did see 3 fights in one night; one was a full brawl with like 8 people involved! I got to see GI Gio who I hadn’t seen since last year. [...]
Blood test#12 today. When you go to register for a blood test, they have to fill out some forms because a computer generates labels for the vials your blood goes into and makes sure the results go to the right place. I always carefully watch the labels printed because this tells me how many bottles [...]
While sitting around listening to Outkast’s Bombs Over Baghdad this afternoon, I got a phone call from an unrecognized number. I picked up the phone and it was someone calling to check a job reference. Somehow I feel very important when I’m asked to be someone’s job reference! ;) Anyway, as I did with the [...]
Alternate Title: “Look! It’s Colonel Sanders!”
There are much more interesting conversations going on about Lakshman Kadirgamar in the Sri Lankan blogosphere – one discussing conspiracy theories and another discussing how lots of people immediately blamed the LTTE. I actually was brave and decided to put my 2 cents into that political discussion because someone mentioned: [...]
“Ragi’s dad has been shot dead.” was the message I got from my aunt yesterday at 15:48 EST; a couple of hours after the shooting. My instant reaction was utter shock that his father was murdered. It took me a split second to remember that Ragi’s dad was Lakshman Kadirgamar, Sri Lanka’s foreign minister. I [...]
