Climate is warming up. Tops get shorter, and low-rise pants are the way to go. In the end, more skin is habitually exposed in casual daily wear. I wonder whether there's a direct relationship between the warming-up of our planet, and the fashion rules dictated to us. I also wonder about our state of (un)dress if we continue f*cking up the Kioto treaty in the next ten years.
Birth and Dead
After seeing my wife give birth to our three children, a strong emotional and physical experience, some of my techno-lust has died and oftentimes, I can hardly fathom why we are still all that excited about technology and software engineering. I cannot say I experience this as a loss - rather an observation. People, especially small and bloody ones, are so much more exciting. My 19-months-old toddler daughter is learning her first dozens of words since a month or so. Early in the morning, only minutes after picking her out of her bed, she iterates over all of her accumulated vocabulary, as if to check whether she hasn't forgotten any words overnight.

Wankers
Peeps indulged in guns and republicotechnocratic thinking - just because they can. Go away - that's my air you're breathing. Mars seems to be an option.
Gee, Thanks! Knowing the Art of Iron Face helps. Now I'll just have to buy that red cape I had my eyes on.
