Distracting Me

these days i get pretty easily distracted. i find myself throughout the day thinking to myself focus, focus with little results to show for it. i don't mind so much when a good thought comes to mind and i can jot it down for later reflection. i don't know, perhaps i have just hit a lazy period in my life where motivations are few and far between.

on the bright side, i stumbled across an interesting meme called monday poetry reading which my interest in it i suppose cements the idea that i've crossed the great divide and have actually become californian. there will be no sprouts in my future and meat will remain in my diet, so i guess it will have to remain an honorary position at best. aside from this meme, a number of other things have caught my eye, many far more interesting than this for sure.

  • first a fun one... road rage cards. a perfect stocking stuffer if you ask me. this is a gift that can keep giving all year long.
  • english prime means english without the verb "to be" or any of its forms. follow the link to learn the whys. pretty interesting. oh, they include a web form you can copy/paste text into to check for conformance. heh.
  • did you know that you are entitled to a free credit report every 12 months? i didn't. you can go to http://www.annualcreditreport.com/ to get yours. i didn't make it a link because they don't seem to accept click throughs with referrers. weird. this was apparentely announced a year ago, but eligibility began today for the western united states.
  • statistically optimal music is not just music to a geeks ears. brian whitman, maker of eigenradio, just released music for the christmas holiday season. it reminds me of something philip glass might produce.
  • speaking of the upcoming holiday, via jwz came a link to a nicely put piece on evolution and faith.
    Our world is being driven further and further into irrationality by people who cannot reconcile their faith with reality, and therefore decide that it is reality which is lacking.
  • so now go take the chakra test. lol. my results and what they mean. *snicker*
