Friday Micro-Zeitgeist

Very slack. But you all know this.

In no particular order:
  • Mum's PET scan came back clear, meaning the cancer hasn't spread beyond her lungs. Which means surgery has been scheduled for next Wednesday. Which is all totally the best case scenario.
  • Every morning I wake up and think: be happy and grateful - the world is boundless and everything is possible. I don't need reminding, gorgeous girl, great work, a bike, amazing friends, sunshine, chicken avocado bacon burgers, best case cancer.
  • I bought a MacBook Pro and "switched". Bit of an impulse, but fuck it's sexy. Although the packaging is arguably sexier. Even the foam padding in the box is designed.
  • This stuff damaged my mind: Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) and the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). How good is that name - Elastic Compute Cloud? If you are of a geeky persuasion, check it out, it's like science fiction.
  • Forget hover-cars, it's about commoditised utility computing services.
  • Borat on Letterman.
  • John Coltrane.
  • Crush loves The Other America. Me too. The world is changing.
  • Obama was on Oprah yesterday. I have $100 that says he is the next US President.
Good on you.

I'm glad your mum is well. You shall let me hold the Macbook close one time, won't you? Obama will make a sexy president. I am grateful for the woman in the library today who looked like Monica Belluci, and sat opposite me studying mathematical things. That micro burger is absolutely rad; kind of reminds me of the little London people.
