eventually death, and the most likely answer you'll get is Alzheimer's

a group meeting this week is trying to increase medical and public

journal service offered by perl.org and started using it for her
personal diary. No problem, except that the developers who stumbled
across her journal assumed that she was a perl bot ("If this is
autogenerated, you need to tweak it so that the doubled+transposed
letter mistake doesn't happen so often, and introduce some more
naturalistic errors. If it's not autogenerated, you're really sad and

The Next
Great Distraction:
We seem to be lurching from one short-term crisis (most of them
manufactured, like the US social security 'crisis'), and blithely
ignoring the longer-term threats that continually sit just outside the
edge of our attention. While Bush is likely to keep his countrymen
distracted for at least four years by stealing their social security
and planning his next imperial adventure in Iran, the rest of the
world
is likely to be distracted by another crisis that is just waiting to
happen -- a global pandemic
caused by new strains of influenza jumping the species barrier. We've
brought all these crises on ourselves -- overpopulation, overcrowding,
and reducing the diversity of life on Earth to the point all the nodes
of the ecosystem are rendered horrifically fragile. But the greatest
danger us that these short-term crises are tangible and demanding of
immediate attention, distracting us from making even an iota of
progress on the critical but not yet urgent issues like global
warming.

Dave
Gets Another Blog Award Nomination: How to Save the World
has received a lot of award nominations, but its lack of focus
generally means that it just doesn't 'fit' in any of the categories
well enough to compete with single-subject blogs. For example,
recently
I was nominated as 'Best Single-Subject Blog', prompting one voter to
ask me "which of the 40 subjects you write about is this referring
to?"
I've also been nominated recently as Best Canadian Blog, which is
remarkable since I almost never write about Canada. Needless to say,
I'm still award-less. Now I've been nominated for Best Business Blog,
and while that's not all I write about, at least I have a whole category
on the subject. Since some of the other nominees are promoting their
nomination to stir up votes, I thought I'd at least make an attempt to
try to win one award. If you think my blog warrants consideration as
Best Business Blog, please take a look at the nominees and consider voting for me here.

I'm extremely tired - I have slept only a couple of hours in the past
couple of nights.
Still, I feel as if there was something in the air. A lull before a
storm. A pause between moments. There are signs of transition:
things you see, things you hear, things you read. Things you feel.
Things you have done.
I have a feeling that something will change soon. Hard to say in
which direction.
Could be the spring, too.
