Tired
Can’t seem to wake up today. Too bad I don’t drink Coffee. On a technology note: I am setting up to work within a J2EE environement, so Im installing Eclipse, WinCVS, WebLogic, Apache Ant and the Java J2SE SDK. I don’t think I need Tomcat or Struts, but who knows. What ever happened to the…
Philosophy of Life
I have a new job in San Francisco. So far, it’s the best job I’ve ever had. And sometime this/next week, I will have a third son. Here is my philosophy of life: When things go bad, just think that the bad thing is a credit for 1 equal good thing in the future. So…
Same Sex Marriage
It seems that congress is about to vote on a constitutional amendment to ban same sex marriage. How lame are the Republicans on this issue. They say, “Don’t you dare limit my right to have guns! But let’s limit someone else’s right to file a joint tax return!” There has never been an amendment to…
Wimbeldon
Today was the Wimbeldon Tennis finals. Federer versus Roddick. Roddick was down 2 sets to 1 but was making a comeback and had 6 break points, any one of which would have given him a distinct advantage in the set and then match. Roddick lost every one of them. After the last one he basically…
The gods
Yesterday, I was playing the Risk computer game with my 4 year old son Ethan. Like the board game you roll dice and the higher dice rolls win. The layout on the computer screen has our dice on the left and the opponents dice on the right. So there is a great deal of luck…

Statistics and Love
The number of people on earth is over 6 Billion. Lets say roughly half of those people are eligable as potential “soul mates”. Thats 3 billion. Think about how many of those people you have personally met. How many will you EVER meet? A few thousand tops? Its such a tiny sliver of a fraction.…

Bill Clinton at Cody’s Books
Bill Clinton is visiting Cody’s Books in Berkeley on June 29. (See link). The question is: Should I go? I would have to buy his 950 page book. Am I going to read it? I dont know. I can’t imagine its well written. Is it honest? Will it get me closer to my goal? (see…
Book – Critical Chain
Just started reading another book my boss gave me called Critical Chain. Same author who wrote The Goal. Its such a clever technique to write a novel to teach a scientific theory. However, I wonder how to apply this to my current job. I think I need to read a book on the Socratic method.…
