Feeding the Homeless in nola
We people tend to take things for granted.
Chances are, you are reading this in an air-conditioned room. Think though.. isn't that quite lucky?
It is. And we should strive to give back.
Today I was lucky enough to join a "feed the homeless" program sponsored by an inner-city mosque.
5 years after Katrina, thousands of people still lack basic human amenities - food, shelter, proper medicine. From the dark shadows of an interstate ramp to abandoned, demolished buildings, impoverished folk struggle to eke out a living.
If you get a free weekend, consider joining a soup kitchen or bringing a few homemade meals to feed someone. It will make both of you feel good.

The Alcove Blogger
here i am, typing with one hand... alas,
i type slow, but my words may slide through
you like seaweed in water, enveloped in a snap
spaces like these, give a peaceful solace...
do you feel ease now, as the clamor of
shiny obnoxious behemoths sucks
the distracted masses?
but not you, oh brave
peaceful one.

On Speed
A wise man said "It is unworthy of excellent men to waste hours like slaves in the labor of calculation."
At times , we forget just how fast PCs are, but recall the original purpose of a calculator

Goodbye 2 Online chat , Good riddance ya loony
Reasons to avoid chatting online::
We have Skype, cells, yahoo msngr, why type to each other when voice is
faster?
Carpal tunnel syndrome results from chatting online. That's a pathetic way to lose dexterity.
It's mostly junk and fluff we chat online about, email
is more direct, while face-to-face communication is
more meaningful.
You can't really trust online chat, i.e. there ALWAYS
is a risk of being spied on or talking to a TOTALLY
DIFFERENT person .
Overall, a waste of time because you WAIT for
responses. If your chat-partner suddenly needs to swat
a mosquito, you sit IDLE... again, email works better!

On carpal tunnel syndrome
Getting carpal tunnel syndrome is a gradual thing. But once it happens, it's hard and it makes a huge difference in day-to-day life. Please be careful when you type - wrist position is key. Also, online chat is risky.
