Tuesdays with Morrie is an amazing book about the final year in the life of a Brandeis professor who contracted Lou Gerhig’s Disease. My mother sent me the book last week, and I read it in one sitting on Saturday sitting in a coffee shop. It’s a good read, and no matter who you are you will take something valuable away from it. I think it’s a book I will probably return to again and again over the course of my life because it breeds perspective. (Thanks so much for everything Mom.)
They say that Spring is the time of changes. Well, they don’t kid around very much I guess. I returned home from SXSW full of inspiration, and I had no idea how much I had let my life and myself get off of the track I meant for it to be on. I had somehow lost track of who I wanted to be. The wakeup call that it took to get me to realize this was the most bitter pill I have ever swallowed. My girlfriend of almost six years left me. I’m heartbroken, because I’m still very much in love with her.
My life is about to change in some major ways. My priorities are much clearer to me than they were only a few weeks ago, and I recognize that there is much work to do if I’m ever going to be the person I truly want to become. If you are reading this, ask yourself if you are an active participant in your life. Ask yourself if you are telling those around you how you feel about them. Ask yourself what you could do to make things better in your relationships. I sure wish I had been asking myself those questions a few weeks ago.
I apologize for this, but I will be taking some time off from this site for at least the next few days and maybe longer. Things have happened this week in my life that I cannot log about, but they have sapped me of my strength to express myself here. Please think positive thoughts for me.
Internet Explorer 5.02 for the Macintosh is due to be released Monday, but you can find a link to it on this page right now. [via Scripting News]
I’ve been using the betas for a couple of months and I like it quite a bit in comparison to any of the existing browsers on the Mac platform.
I tried out Userland’s new Pike product this afternoon. The idea of a desktop application that updates my Web site is less attractive to me than doing it through a Web browser. Regardless, I couldn’t get the app to work properly with my Manila server. Having said that, it is beta software, and I’m sure that it will be interesting when I do get it working.
