empty mind...

It's been so hot and humid of late that I feel my mind has emptied out all of it's good ideas. They've dumped right out, into the sky or onto the pavement.

Maybe it's just time to get out of the city for awhile. A short trip would be nice.

When the days are so hot and heavy that you hear an air advisory warning, I suspect I'm not alone in those yearning to retreat to somewhere cooler and more remote from one another.

Right now, it's so humid, I don't want to take a cold shower for fear of never drying off. But I dare say I will venture off and out of the house for a shake shack treat and school.

Google Maps, GMail, Google News, Google World?

While the interface and functionality leaves a lot to be desired, Google is heading in an interesting and more appealling direction with their http://maps.google.com/ than yahoo was in their early days, but oh yea, yahoo already kind of kicks ass at maps already, http://maps.yahoo.com/, but they have visual ads. That my friend is why I use Google more often than Yahoo. Although here in New York, Yahoo Local smokes Google Local in a blind taste test.

Either way, maps at Google, all I can say is ahhhh. About damn time.

Just a spot on a rock

So, I'm standing over my toilet looking into the grey porcelain bowl, and before I even do anything, I notice that the water is swaying and swishing around.

Just overhead, I feel a cool breeze through the bathroom vent. It seems, the wind was so strong it was swaying the building, not the water.

Then, as I was procrastinating things by sitting in the the chair in our living room, I looked out the window and watched the television antenna and direct tv satellite dish sway to the wind on the roof across the street.

Then I watched the clouds zooming past, reminding me most things are out of my control and I am just a spot on this speck of rock hurtling through the universe.
