the brainwashing of our world is not enough.  i want to fork
the brain and keep the child.  if only to reread huck finn for
the first time again.  perhaps a new brain would help me find a
reason for my navel.  maybe even: to store salt in, so i can dip
celery into when i'm in bed and i get hungry.

thanks to someone around here for linking yaml one
day.  i listened on the list for a bit and started the yaml4r
project (a YAML emitter/parser for Ruby).  It's nice to be pitching in on someone
else's project.  Clark, Oren and Brian all have been welcoming and VERY appreciative
of my effort.  in many ways, it's often more rewarding to help out on a project than to
push my own. 

i've been enjoying reading recentlog lately.  I've thought it would be kind of cool
for an advogator out there to make a weekly summary page.  One-liners for some of the
highlight entries.  Perhaps even rank the topics and encourage more succulent content.
