At the moment, some very good things and some very bad things.

Certainly no doubt that I'm alive though.

Mrsbrown was chatting about comfort yesterday. how we have rules and dieas about what's comfortable. And being an engineer she knows them: between 22 and 24 degrees, that sort of thing
But also how our idea of holiday is to go to places where we aren't comfortable - to the snow, to the tropics, that sort of thing.

Because inertia is not necessarily relaxing.

Selye wrote that an unstressed organism is a dead one, and divided stress into distress and eustress, the latter being positive stress. I've often thought we'd do well if we took this concept into regular usage.

Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories are turning me to the dark side. They are the ones that do DIY Cylon Eyes.

The Well Trained Mind. I'm not about to get into it (I have enough on my brain already), but the conversation was fascinating so I'm putting it here so I don't lose the reference.

Regina Holliday and her mural re-the American health care problem and her husband's death. It's a good looking piece of work, I'm hoping she (or someone) will produce a print of the actual mural.

Alexander Calder, kinetic sculpture. Wire sculptures. ArtGuy suggested I look at his stuff. Like this wire stuff especially.
