post-cat-surgery day 2

2007 Jan 23 21:43

Ecchi has kept down 3/4 of a (tuna fish-sized) can of high protein cat food, pumped directly into her stomach. I was unable to see her today, because I am very exhausted and need to save my strength to get everything I have going done in time.

Need sleep. More tomorrow.

I’ll avoid listing the positives and negatives in detail, because everyone else already has done….

I wanted to remind people of what innovation from Steve Jobs & his crew used to look like…and also a poignant reminder of the fact that these keynote addresses are about 20% technology, 80% showmanship.

Jump to Trunk Monkey’s copy of the Lost 1984 Mac Video. (And while you’re there, watch the trunk monkey videos!)

Oh, and Woz, if you’re out there reading this, Apple ][ Forever! ;)

existential crisis

2007 Jan 8 6:52

Mini Sartre PortraitSome nights, I can’t sleep no matter how hard I try. Tonight was one of those nights. I sat in bed overcome with frustration, worry and fear, and I can’t stop letting it get to me.

I need help from you guys, my friends. For the first time in a long time, I’m gonna bare my soul honestly on this blog, because I can’t think of any other place to let this out constructively. Comment if you can, I need advice. I don’t know what to do.
