Dear Jack's Mannequin,

 If computer engineers and programmers could achieve in a piece of machinery the plasticity that is found in the brain, the new abilities and functionality could be, potentially, staggering.

Offering a good-feeling glow
But I’m holding out ( Read more... )

 I love the convenience of totally losing interest.

 Home Friday night for IV event at RIT, after IV at UB, y/n? Then church with my parents on Sunday, and back to Buffalo for the Superbowl? Hmmmm.

I just sent an email accepting a job offer from people who really like me and really appreciate the job I did when I worked for them last year. That feels really really good.

 Brooke Fraser is a brilliant songwriter. Unbelievably.
