Rich Seymour's stochastic statements.

Much talk of productivity on the silver wavelengths of the internet. It so often seems like people chatting at a bar or coffeeshop about the things they would be doing. That is the things they would be doing if they weren’t at the bar or coffeeshop. But sometimes, you are a bartender or a barista and you are really about to just go wild producing some fantastic beveridges. So that’s how it was with me and the web today.

I pushed a lot of things to the side knowing that I would work on them come Thursday night. Thursday night arrived and there they were lined up like little ducks. I pretty much just shot them down like ducks in a row in reverse cronological order. I used the method of tagging things as todo using the 12345 keys in thunderbird (outlined here@43f). There are some major flaws with the views and saved searches, but I will get into that some other time. Bugs are filed and I’ve voted for them.

In the end though, besides my worn Louisville slugger of an editor (Vim), a Fatburger Turkeyburger, and some water, what really carried me through were some fine tunes from the freeform station of the nation (WFMU. Tangentially, yet not, I must’ve listened to this MP3 approximately 10 times. Perhaps that’s not healthy, but man is that song good. It is a sonic duet between Laura Cantrell and Jason Forrest. Who they are is somewhat explained here but you should really listen to their respective shows.

“Most of us are quite pleased / with the same old song
And all of a sudden I’m relatively sane / with everything to lose and nothing to gain
Or something like that” — GBV Echos Myron

Sleepytime. Here is the preview of what I did (with a ton of help from a ton of people, thanks all).
