"I have a work pad that I havn't been using for a while because the screen got dim, but it came back and is brighter, I don't understand why, but that doesn't matter, and it was built in 1997, so three years ago, and it just makes you wonder at how the technologoy has changed."

"Sure it has, at that level, but at another level, our cognitive technology hasn't changed at all. We are still operating with the same metaphors as the original Macintosh-and even that was preceeded by the Altos."

Here is what happens when I am in a good mood. Two nights ago, Tue, bad night, but I pushed 65 pages of 'how to read a book.' and now I am feeling on top of my game. At the peak of my climb. In the spotlight. My number has come up and I'm on the top of the world, looking down on...

Oh my God. Metaphor is fun, aint it paul?

I read more in _how to read a book_ this morning. Taking notes, numbering paragraphs, pulling out the arguement. Making progress on the journey of discovery.

In the Car I'm listening to Charles Faulkner's tapes on the mythic wheel of life.

And, last night I packed my first four boxes for moving. Yes, packed. We have been going through stuff, pulling it out of boxes, putting it back into boxes, giving things away, throwing stuff out, and so on. But I had not, until last night, actually 'packed' something for the move.

Now I have.

Until last night I was just 'going through' stuff. Getting organized, preparing for a move, sure, but doing things that were equally valuable whether or not we moved.

Now I have crossed the line. Now it is a triage time. If I won't use it for several months, pack it now. Which begs the question, if I actually don't think that I will use it for several months, do I truly still need it? But I do, I suppose (there is a Mrs. Rose, I suppose) want to keep it all, or a lot. So now it is packing.

-- Something fell. "Hey he jumped up. First time I've seen him move all day."

The IBM publishing team installed a white board. It was rather, odd, to see software guys doing hardware.

"You have to find a way to route the whiteboard through a javascript..."

"Once we realized that the whiteboard was an object, and the wall is an object, we were good to go."

"We had two crashes, so we decided we needed to implement."
