Am I nervous?  No.

Do I have cold feet?  No.

The next book in the epic saga of my life starts at 2pm PDT on Saturday.

Someone may be on the job market after this little gem:

From techipeida:

The ultimate mashup! Weezer brings together Tay Zonday of Chocolate Rain fame, the Blendtec’s famous “Will it Blend” blender (can you spot it?), Miss Teen South Carolina, the kid behind the famous Romanian Numa Numa video, All Your Base are Belong to Us, Peanut Butter Jelly Time, the “stupid” ninja guy, and a guy who made it into the Guinness Book of World Records for wearing the most t-shirts at any time, among many other internet celebrities.

If the player doesn’t work try this.

I sit here writing this post with my hands crossed at my lap. I purchased a copy of MacSpeech Dictate. It will be interesting to see how well this program can transcribe my speech into text. It seems to be doing a pretty good job so far. I find it makes a few mistakes but the commands allow me to make corrections very quickly.

It’s even smart enough with its commands to just understand what I mean. When I got to the end of a paragraph I was able to say “New Line” and it did the right thing. We will see whether this new tool helps me write more often now that I can get my fingers out of the space between my brain and the computer.

I have been working on this ‘little’ project I call NodeDB, a document-oriented database written entirely in Python. My work on it continues, but there may be others that are interested in helping. If you are out there you can find the code at http://code.tragicallyleet.com/hg/nodedb. Patches can be submitted on a great little tool called Review Board at http://review.tragicallyleet.com.
