Float Dissolve

The device allows children to pick up colours and textures from their environment and paint with them on a large digital screen.

This is just amazing.

Filling up my active mindspace recently has been my daughter turning three, the strengthening relationship between my wife and I, card manipulation, A+ certification, Linux, dying, Hamachi, Just Woke Up, and just recently, the fact that I’m late for my second job.

The dying smell of cigarette smoke clinging to human flesh fills rooms with denial.
I can’t seem to quiet my mind from flitting.
8-bit memories

wooden desks, plastic enamel

dysfunctional plexus surrounding these family values

Programmable system of operating.

Writing in ink reminds me of the third floor
I just wanted to be with friends
Teeth filled with pocket protectors
Sifted recollections of feeling drunk inside
Ignore frame detect errors
Post-it note flipbooks had a numbing quality
It’s not as bad as it first seemed.
I’m on stage and you’re staring at your friends
I’m in the audience and you’re staring at the stage
You’re staring at a television, I’m hypnotized by LCD’s
I’m still not able to predict the future

I started the day by running out of gas on Route 29. Interesting to note that not one person stopped to help. When I was sitting there talking on my cell phone I can understand, but most of the time I was just sitting there. Can’t be late for work. I didn’t need help so it’s no big deal, just an observation.

On another note, according to my boy Seth Godin, in his seminal e-book about blogs, “Who’s There?”, this is a Cat Blog. Interesting.

According to him there are three strict categories of blogs and this one is about my cat and my dating travails and my boss and whatever I feel like sharing in my public diary. I don’t have a cat, I’m married, and my boss is my Mom, whom I never blog about. Take that Seth Godin. Can’t label me Jack!

I like Seth Godin’s work. What would it take to make a cat blog popular? And would it still be a cat blog? Does it matter?

Well cheers to my one reader: Dave from Dallas. This one’s for you! I miss you! Also, my cat did the cutest thing today! OMG! LOL!

While hypnotically floating through target tonight, suddenly, the inventory people appeared. They got right to work and their scanners played a delightful two note melody after scanning a bar code. With maybe twenty employees scanning things all over the store they turned it into an artificial summer night.

It was beautiful.

As I looked around I day dreamed about the founder thinking about starting his own store (this google search “founder of target retail chain” returned a brief history.) Founded in 1902? It’s more than 100 years old. That amazes me.

I remember the first time I walked in and saw the distinctive presstube drawings hanging from the ceiling. I couldn’t believe it. It was great.

I’m now walking to the grocery store to buy a few things. Quite a day for consumption.
