Done yesterday (20111128 Mo)

[mdlbear]

Gleep. I woke up to beautiful, soft, gentle fog, and had a moderately productive day at work. Good talk in the morning by Ed Schlesinger, head of the department of electrical and computer engineering at CMU, about technology and how it empowers individuals as opposed to institutions. Notable quote: "When institutions don't like it, you're probably on the right track."

I spent most of the evening composing an email to (former bandmate) C. It was hard, and I was really taken aback by the intensity of my emotions while writing it. (I don't know what they were -- I couldn't sort them out. That probably doesn't matter.)

It had some of my more impassioned writing in it; I haven't written anything that intense since the comments leading up to the Agamemnon verse in QV. Maybe not ever. I found out this morning that it wasn't well received, though. I miss my friend; I hope she comes back some day.

Somebody needs to tell her that nobody is judging her, only her actions. She won't listen to me, though; I guess that bridge was already on fire from her end when I tried to reach across it.

  ! Set mood to excited.  Don't know whether that's right; may be closer to
    "optimistic" or "hopeful".  But it felt right.

    my MAC addr hasn't been added to the local WAP; fortuately one of the 
    other tenants has an open guest network.  (cut+paste error--my bad)
    technology undermines institutions.  Should empower individuals, not
    burden them.  When institutions don't like it, you're probably on the
    right track.
  " me:  I should go home now.  I'm clearly not at work.

    (17:33:31) me@aim: I'm a little taken aback by the intensity of my
     emotions while and after writing that.  They're not all sorted out, and it
     really isn't necessary to do so.  Gleep.
