Something Random

This is a test post to see if the Ping.fm module for Drupal works the way I think it should.

Check out this 3d printer from the Fab@Home project. I want one! Did he say you could "print" in chocolate? Mmm...I wonder what some hobbyist confectioner could think to do with that?

When I first heard of companies rebranding their name brand products as generics to selling them at a discount, I thought it was pure greed. "Why not just sell it at the lower price? Why charge more for the illusion of superiority?" I wondered. Then, I heard a hot tub salesman explain why he might charge a wealthy customer more than the usual price. He wasn't gouging the customer, he was managing the customer's expectations of the product.

Have you heart the saying, "If you want something to get done, give it to the busiest person you know."? Lately I've been realizing just how true that really is. I used to think busy people were uptight and, in the case of at least one couple I knew, driven by a preoccupation with possessions. But now I'm beginning to think that most of the busy people in my life are just more productive and happier because they work harder. I've been noticing that time slips away from me easily even though I'm not very busy and my best sense is that my problem comes from poor time management.

Blogging sounds so easy, but I'm finding it way too hard. It's even harder when you can't quick mucking with the code long enough to post.
