Ugh, the Miami Herald is becoming a registration site soon. Yet another reason to keep reading the Sun-Sentinel online. I keep a fakey-fake profile, just to avoid giving advertisers good cookie info, and register to a stinky email account used only to collect spam. I've been keeping an alias since Radio Shack asked for names and bio info before selling you a simple spst switch. (used to make my first black box when I was 12 or 13.) Not that I've been to a RS in ages. I don't think that they collect info directly like that anymore... but the stuff they sell is so overpriced.
I also discovered SmartTraveler, too.. traffic info and cameras posted all over the place (not just South Florida)
Random Factoid - De Soto brought 13 pigs to Florida ~1525. Today, only China has a greater swine population.
Dan and I babbled a bit about super-group names. not many are worthwhile, but we came up with a couple of goodies.
"…chewed by a rat when Telly was a baby." (Famous people with missing digits.)
I'm going to play a little mental game with myself today. I'm going to see if I can open up my mind and detect life out and around me...try and "sense" where / what things are, and just try to hear whatever vibe it might be throwing off. see if I can do the aura-vision perception vibe. Sense lizards, the difference between grass and maybe an insect or two... see if I can detect where in the office different bodies are without hearing or seeing them.
I'm pretty confident that I can perceive life in my apartment, but that's easy. Me, Newton, that's it. I close my eyes, reach out and see what subconscious cues tell me where he's located. That is, of course if he isn't sitting right in front of me, as he is often wont to do... not too difficult to triangulate where the creature that's purring like a lawnmower and is pressing his forehead against your right hand. What I'm typing here is that it doesn't take Matt Murdock/Daredevil.
Hmm... quote in my head this morning... "Shift your cargo dearie... show 'em your larboard side...WE WANTS THE REDHEAD!! Strike your colors you brazen wench! No need to expose your superstructure! " Ah.. Classic Disney.
Until later, dear journal. Don't take rum, where you can get gold. Mind ye, if they only have rum, take it.

Date: 2004-04-08 03:28 pm (UTC)Did it work? I was going to ask you if you can detect others by hearing people, although they might not be making any noticeable movements. I hear hear it as a slight hum...somewhat like the kind of SOFT, hissing hum that televisions made years ago. I don't hear TV's doing that anymore. You know..back during the times that you'd turn off your tv, and there would be that little white dot in the center of the screen for a bit? I've forgotten what that was all about. Anyway, there was a hum/hiss that went along with that, and I hear in people, too.
Oddly enough, I found myself thinking about the hum that tv's used to make & the white dot, just yesterday. :0)
