This week:
get some *REAL* work done for Athena
learn how to speed-read so I can pass 6.033
finish my 1.101 problem set

Thoughts for the day:
A person is just about as big as the things that make them angry.

rlcarr (Richard L. Carreiro):
Who can turn a can into a cane?
Who can turn a pan into a pane?
It's not to hard to see, it's silent E.
Who can turn a cub into a cube?
Who can turn a tub into a tube?
It's elementary for silent E.
He took a pin and turned it into a pine.
He took a twin and turned him into twine.
Who can turn a cap into a cape?
Who can turn a tap into a tape?
A little glob becomes a globe instantly
If you just add silent E.
He turned a dam, alakazam, into a dame,
But my friend Sam stayed just the same.
Who can turn a man into a mane?
Who can turn a van into a vane?
A little hug becomes huge instantly.
Don't add W, don't add X, and don't add Y or Z.
Just add silent E!
"Silent E"
Tom Lehrer

sao (Andy Oakland):
Why do the soldiers of the computer revolution attract such scorn?
Partly because computer professionals have a public relations problem.
When people think of a computer professional, they don't think of
Superman or even Clark Kent, but of obnoxious creatures who prattle
incomprehensibly and walk as if their pants were four sizes too small.
Karla Jennings

therese (Suntioinen Therese M.):
Don't dream too wild, and shoot for the moon
Don't ride your heart like a balloon
Don't blow away to places unknown
Cause when you finally come knocking, there'll be nobody home
Nobody home
- Heart
