Every morning my cat asks for treat food, and every time I say "no". However, he always insists. One could think "if the previous 372 times I've said «no», what makes you think that I'll change my mind now?"

The induction principle. The induction principle clearly states that I have to prove my claim for *every* natural number, and so far I've only proved it for n = 372. I could crack in the future.

I'm thus, left, with only one possible conclusion from all this: My cat is a clever mathematician with deep knowledge of human psychology.

If we could propose an anthem for SL, my votes would go for this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyhrYis509A (Barbie Girl)

« I'm a blond bimbo girl, in a fantasy world
» Dress me up, make it tight, I'm your dolly
» You're my doll, rock'n'roll, feel the glamour in pink,
» Kiss me here, touch me there, hanky panky...
» You can touch, you can play, if you say: "I'm always yours" »

At times, when I listen to people complaining because they don't want (they say "need") to learn all the basics first, for all they need (they say) is to just find a tutorial that shows that exact thing they want to model, I can't avoid imagining a person about to have surgery and the surgeon saying "I don't need to learn all the basics of human anatomy first... Just tell me where I should cut to open, and I will learn the rest as I need it." (I know, I'm a boring old school academic.)

When I was a teen, purchasing a walkman meant purchasing a device that would only play music. How, nowadays, purchasing similar devices means to carry an advanced machine that by default tracks you and sends a lot of information you're not aware of, makes me wonder. Specially, about why we are eagerly accepting this as something normal in our lives.

Often I feel like the ant of that fable: working all the summer to then spend the winter quietly at home, harvesting your hard work's fruits. What the fable doesn't tell you is that in autumn you will likely have your house flooded because of the rains. So a bit of time spent in the pool, learning to swim, isn't a bad idea after all.

I've asked a customer FIVE times to please detail in a notecard the steps followed, expected outcome, actual outcome, so I could know what could have gone wrong in setting up a script. Instead of reading the documentation and then providing me an input that I could examine (really, I don't read minds), there have been attempts of getting me making the script to work (then why would I care in writing documentation?), insulting my work, etc, etc. I understand that one can feel frustrated, but why after all this, the rude person, is me? (This happens more often than what my doctor says I should put up with.)
