embrace your inner nerd

only an engineer could get excited over sites such as this and this. well, that's not quite true. but, i do know that all the bar charts, color graphs, visual comparisons, etc. excite a part of my inner core not usually bathed by warmth. its dark and sickly place, inhabited by creatures that have not seen the light of day for many millennium. i don't know why such beasts would be excited by the performances of new technology, maybe they have watched too much ghost in the shell. they certainly not interested in the recent stories losely connected to their ancient past.

i have recently made a purchase that i only have slight buyers regret for. 'slight' in the sense that there is a digital version coming out soon. that, and the same french studio is going to convert a favorite set of books into something else i can waste money on. maybe this will convince old george to finish his latest book... anyway, since i also got this in the deal and both for under the price for one of it new (which is no longer in print), i think i did alright.

finally, it seems my favorite gadget is getting cheaper. maybe chinh will buy one as well. hope springs eternal.


peace,
ko
