It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.
- Theodore Roosevelt
I hope that no one will claim to know the final answers; no good comes from prophets. But even when acknowledging our falibility, we must nevertheless continue to think about these matters and give the advice to others that intellect and conscience dictate. And let God be our judge, as our grandparents used to say. - Sakharov

I try to do most personal document management using CVS (concurrent versioning system). I haven't been doing a good job of that lately, I haven't even been using my custom journal script that logs things into CVS that much either. I've added my Mozilla bookmarks file into CVS so I can sync that accross machines or just access it from my site when I'm on someone else's computer. I may have some weird stuff on there, but hopefully nothing too embarassing... :P Bookmark The link is also on the left. |

My buddy who lives in SF reminded me on a good common sense idea that I've been meaning to take care for a while. The quick availability of a backpack containing some basic survival items that would last you maybe for a few days. It makes a bit more sense living in a dense urban area like SF, especially if there is a big earthquake or something, but I figure its not a bad idea anywhere. I'm still trying to come up with the list, but here is what I've got going so far in no particular order.
- compact first aid kit, ibuprofin
- small notebook, pens, hard copy of important phone numbers
- compact LED headlamp
- chapstick, 30SPF sunblock, bar of soap, moisturizer lotion
- compact roll of TP and baby wipes
- tactical Flashlight
- USB flashdrive with backup of critical files and photos
- latex and leather gloves
- military or ski style goggles
- 4 bottled water and water purifier
- disposable camera
- leatherman
- lighter
- boot knife
- 2 pairs clean underwear
- toothbrush / toothpaste
- colapsable rimmed hat
- 6 MREs from the surplus store
- warm windbreaker jacket
- mirror (thanks Amber for the suggestion!)
I'm sure there's more to add... its a work in progress. Anyway, most likely I'll have most of it ready for my trek across the country in a bit.

No suprise that San Jose has made the list for one of the fattest in the country. I've known it for a long time. People at work and around me always ask me why I always leave town on the weekends. Well folks, this is one of the main reason why. Firstly, I am attracted to thin women, I mean thats just my nature, but even for meeting people in general, I don't think its unreasonable not to want fat friends when you are a fit person. On my free time, I participate in healthy outdoor activities, fat people can't do any of those things with me. I realize some people have medical reasons for being overweight which I can understand and I don't judge them all negatively, but I just have a pragmatic reason for minimizing association. When I see 4 out of 5 mid-20 year old women in San Jose that look like cows and have a boyfriend, its evident that they don't really realize how disgusting it is. I feel sorry for all the silicon valley geeks who miserably compete for such a pathetic pool of women. Guys, stop dating fat chicks! There are way tastier fish in the bigger pond! Yes, I'm sometimes an asshole and definitely un-PC. Source |

Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening,
terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are, or where we are going in
this ocean of chaos, it has been the authorities, the political, the
religious, the educational authorities who attempted to comfort us by
giving us order, rules, regulations, informing, forming in our minds their
view of reality. To think for yourself you must question authority and
learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable, open-mindedness;
chaotic, confused, vulnerability to inform yourself.
Think for yourself.
Question authority. - TOOL "Salival - Third Eye Intro"
WARNING: If you are reading this then this warning is for you. Every word
you read of this useless fine print is another second of your life. Don't
you have other things to do? Is your life so empty that you honestly can't
think of a better way to spend these moments? Or are you so impressed with
authority that you give respect and credence to all who claim it? Do you
think everything you're supposed to think? Buy what you're told you should
want? Get out of your apartment. Meet a member of the opposite sex. Stop
excessive shopping and masturbation. Quit your job. Start a fight. Prove
you're alive. If you don't claim your humanity you will become a statistic.
You have been warned...... - Fight Club
