On the other hand, funny way my mind works, but whenever I think of the Great Gatsby, I also always am reminded of the feel of the visits in the Watchmen comic series, where the new Nite Owl visits the retired Nite Owl, and they enjoy reminiscing about old times. And vice versa. I’ve never explored why that may be, but there is something about the both of those scenes that reminds me of the other, and I dearly hope it’s not just the shared elements of a mechanics’ garage.

What I’m thinking, and what I think I’m writing, and what actually goes on the blog ain’t always the same thing. This post is a great case in point. Too much talking about me, too little talking about what a great webcomic “NPC Comic” is. The storyline where the wonderful main character, who raids on a rogue, gets kicked out of her guild for her behavior is such an excellent spin on the subject, and makes you re-examine the stereotypes behind it, that it really captured my heart.

Yeah. Thanks. My productivity just plummeted into an abyss of unspeakable proportions! Back to work – right after I catch up with “userfriendly.org” :)

As a person who deplores clutter, the thought of deliberately lining one’s walls with things that not only aren’t being used but also may have to have effort spent on them to move them some day is maddening.

I think it was Emerson who said: “Things are in the saddle, and ride mankind.” It’s also unfortunately the case that we let them define us sometimes.

This all said, I try to be at least a little discrete when I bring the “nerdier” things I like to read sometimes to work. There’s integrity, and then there’s career-practical.

Keep up the great work man you almost have me sold on playing a druid :P

Also love the “By the square foot” comment, I’ve heard of such things but always wished it wasn’t true.
