  1. Lawnmower

    The Electric Lawnmower using a battery is a great invention. With battery technologies improved so much over the last 10 years, I can easily cover my whole lawn in about one hour with power to spare in the lithium cells and expect batteries to last 10 years.

    Having used several …

  2. Lead or Explore

    It happens when you least expect it. That golden ring of opportunity. Do you grab it, or let it slide.

    Look around, explore and be of good use. That's what I did. Although several chances arose to become a leader. I suppose it happens to everyone at some time or …

  3. Files

    With file formats HTML, MarkDown, Maildir, and JSON; your data is yours only. It does not belong to any one app, is human readable, and portable without relying on export/import.

    That is the way I build my stuff. Probably another reason I use mainly bash (sh, ksh, zsh ...). On …

  4. The Day Mom Died

    I still can't remember the date.
    I still get chills thinking about it.
    I still remember Dad's call.
    


    She held us all together
    with her giggle and smile.
    Made you want to stay
    for awhile.
    


    The times she made frosted winter scenes on the mirrors,
    brought the turtle …

  6. Building Puzzle Pieces

    I like to put it all together, and admire the transformation from nothing to something.

    This is the way I have built software products. Daring to dream big, then breaking it down, and finally small enough pieces that a plan naturally forms.

    Recurrent division through each design piece is done …

    Summertime

    It's so hot
    we always sweat
    outside,
    running to the cave
    before we fry,

    SPF 55
    hats on fire,
    need a bucket of ice
    to cool the mood.
    Gut bucket blues.
