Rest in peace, Mr. Jobs. Thank you for inspiring me, for making a dent in my universe, and for being you.
I will miss you so much.

Here's to the crazy ones.
The misfits.
The rebels.
The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently.
They're not fond of rules.
And they have no respect for the status quo.
You can quote them.
Disagree with them.
Glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can't do...
is ignore them.
Because they change things.
They push the human race forward.
And while some may see them as the crazy ones.
We see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world...
are the ones who do.
Lady Presenter: Well, that's the end of the film. Now, here's the meaning of life.
[Receives an envelope]
Lady Presenter: Thank you, Brigitte.
[Opens envelope, reads what's inside]
Lady Presenter: M-hmm. Well, it's nothing very special. Uh, try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations. And, finally, here are some completely gratuitous pictures of penises to annoy the censors and to hopefully spark some sort of controversy, which, it seems, is the only way, these days, to get the jaded, video-sated public off their fucking arses and back in the sodding cinema. Family entertainment? Bollocks. What they want is filth: people doing things to each other... [Read More]
A few minor hiccups, but I love it. My phone is no longer a tool that sort of worked if I felt like crawling through a arcane interface designed by crotchety old blind maze mice. Now it is elegant and serene and my needs are met without me thinking about them.
For the last three months, the better part of my life has been spent developing, integrating, designing and tweaking a new website for the burner community. Finally, I am ready to publicly announce it.
It is a place where you can connect.
Share.
Participate.
Where there are no spectators.
Wouldn't be great if there was an easy to remember domain name? One that spoke to the community? A mantra that really made it all seem to click?
NoSpectators.com is all about connecting, sharing and participating. In short, it is about not being a spectator. My hope is that it will become the central meeting place for people to gather, interact, discuss issues and participate in the greater burner... [Read More]
I was debating about having lobster tonight.
It has been a long time since I have thought about lobster.
Even longer since I've tasted it.
I think I still remember the taste.
Instead, I opted for:
Frozen(!) White Castles
1001 Chocolate Chip Cake (no, I haven't counted them—that is the name of the cake)
Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia
Mountain Dew
Perhaps not the most elegant meal, but it put a dam fine smile on my face.
I'd be a bald-faced liar if I said I didn't enjoy this birthday. Ahh, the irony....
