Ever had one of those odd moments? You know, the ones where brilliance strikes without you getting charred.

I had one of those moments today. I was talking to one of my brothers about Fortune cookies. He suffered a traumatic experience with one. (It was empty. Actually Empty. Without fortune even.) The horror of it all. You get all worked up, looking forward to the poorly worded contents that will assure you of a wonderful day or fantastic luck or even a sage warning about impending unpleasantness.

I’d like to say that I’ve been slacking and that’s why posting has been a bit spotty of late. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. The sad truth is I’ve been so darn busy, I haven’t had time to post much. Kinda ironic since I’ve been trying to get more organized in general so I’ll have more time to devote to things I want to do, like Blog. I usually have my UPC (Sony U70) with me, so I have my schedule, all my favorite applications, and a complete set of productivity tools with me. The only thing I’m missing is a good connection to the outside world, and time to actually write something insightful and witty. All this nifty technology, and I’m stuck in the dark ages without a good wireless connection or the time to actually use it. My current cellular plan has a killer rate for data so its not really a good option to modem in with it. (And its not the good type of killer either. Its more of the drive a stake into your wallet and bleed it till its empty kind of killer.) And my happy little workplace doesn’t have any network jacks in my corner of the cave. So, I’m stuck working on the u70 in isolation while I’m at work. Which seems lately to be darn near all of the time that I’m actually awake. Anything I do write, ends up coming home with me, and at home, I can use the big machine to post, so why worry about trying to blog on the U70 at work. Its a bit of a catch-22.
