"Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time; the need for mankind to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence. Mankind must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love."

Martin Luther King, Jr. , (December 11, 1964)

Christmas time in NY ! Yippeee!

Its freezing. The snow is on the ground. The love is in the air.

buuuuuwwwahhhhahhahahah!

People are sliding out of control on the road, all to get to their job that is 60 minutes away that will be outsourced in 5 years anyway.

buuuuuwwwahhhhahhahahah!

New England Patriots lost to Miami. What was that?

Not sure if Iraq is ready for the gift that we bestowed upon them. Time to come home.

Babies are able to program themselves. Edge detection, motor skills, object recognition, voice recognitition, feedback, cause and effect. Its all there, and all we do is watch. Most of what is difficult in the world has been abstracted away from us, and only in the rare occurances of its failure do we see the true miracle behind every day life.

New Baby & Christmas in NY

"Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood and probably will themselves not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will not die." --Daniel Burnham

Ryan John is with us! My third and perhaps final baby is here, and he's wonderful. One day I'll have to document the series of amazing physicological events that have to take place for one of these creatures to be realized. Yes its 'simply' procreation, but the fact that so much has to go right in sequence really gives me pause.

Christmas in NY. A wonderful time, but I am afraid we will not see the city this go around. With a new baby in town, there simply is too much risk in taking he boy to the city. I guess we could drive in, park, see the tree, and then bail. Its more work than people not from here realize. For one thing, parking is not a given. Then, its in the teens today, with the threat of snow. Finally, we won't be able to walk around much if at all with the new one, so what is the point of going? Its a tough call.

What goes for entertainment these days has pushed me to go away from the TV and go to the internet, gaming, and for my commute the courses that I love from teach12.com . Their quality of classes is so good you almost feel like your there in an Ivy league classroom.

I sometimes wonder how wise it is to put everything under my name here. It makes it easy for people to find me and things about me. But should I cower? Should I hide in anonimity? Why not show up in someone's google search one day, sharing something that would appear on this site, a small piece of knowledge or opinion? Employers, family, everyone can now know what I really think. Shouldn't this honesty be the way? What about Identity theives ? Well, I don't have my address on here, but that wouldn't be hard to get. Privacy is mostly an illusion anyway.....

Merry Christmas!
