This is the new Mars Edit 2.1 client. I’m taking it for a spin with the thought that I might seek to use it for my Rails blog fallenrogue.com. Although, I haven’t really been talking about Rails lately. anyway, test test test.
Line breaks.

Man, this is a question that I ask myself every second of every day.
Personally, I think it’s because it forces people to recognize the fact that life is not as simple or black and white as they’d like. It’s difficult to appreciate that which you have no context or frame of reference to and respond with bigotry and hate. Given that gays have no discernible hate in their heart for straight people, why then are they hated in return? homophobia is not being afraid of gay people… homophobia is fear of understanding and accepting the truth of homosexuality. There is a huge difference.

I got a new mighty mouse today and boy does it kick a lot of ass. Not only is it the mighty mouse that I love (I broke mine by cleaning it incorrectly…) but no wires!!! The bluetooth hooked right up and I was up and running mac style in no time. If you’re a mac user running Tiger and you don’t like to hit those function keys to get expose… you might want to take a look!

Wow, first VT and now NASA. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. Why can’t, and I’m serious here, why can’t we all just relax and get along? Seriously.

My wife has been watching me struggle with my emotions as of late and she’s a trooper that’s for sure. She said something yesterday that really hit home. I was complaining about “corporate speak” the one thing I mastered working at LexisNexis. With all lameasses protecting their own asses and nation building you hear and regurgitate a lot of bullshit. I told my wife that everytime I say something like “Maximize ROI in the YOY incremental for the sales vertical market.” I want to step outside of my body and have my phantom self beat the living tar out of me.
I don’t care about any of that shit, why did it fall out of my mouth.
So, my wife… the smartest person in the world… says: “then keep it real, Leon.”
“What?”
“just keep it real. Say what you’d say to me.”
Now this is an awesome idea on so many levels that I’m surprised I’ve spent this must time carefully fellating every asshat in the corporate world. Let’s take a look at the previous statement kept real:
“Look, man. You said your shit was fucked up. I came in here and worked that shit out. If it doesn’t work then its because you’re a terrible business person. I’m going to play guitar hero.”
Ahh. Sure, that’s a little too far… but just a little. Thanks, honey. I love you.
