Ways I've Injured Myself Recently

  1. The tip of my right index finger caring a server.

  2. My left knee (recurrent, minor) dancing, probably jumping. Design flaw, I'm convinced.

  3. I have some sort of strain/dislocation of the first knuckle of my right ring finger, and its oddly sore.

  4. My right shoulder, because I sleep on it funny.

  5. My left wrist is occasionally stiff from typing and what not, but I think it's sort of interesting that these 3 of the five hand-related.

Things I would Change about my Cell Phone if I could.

  1. I would be able to SSH into my cell phone, for the purpose of sending libnotify-esque notifications to the cell phone

  2. It would have a plethora of hardware keys, potentially some sort of keyboard (on a slider) and only require touch-screen interfaces when intuitive.

  3. I would want it to run emacs, at least to be able to check on things.

  4. I would like some sort of native terminal client on the cellphone.

  5. It would be unlocked.

Objects that I would like to Combine

  1. eBook reader/music player/tablet-or-pocket computer.

  2. A tea kettle and yogurt maker.

  3. My network router and my computer.

  4. A keyboard and desk chair.

  5. The mouse (and my computer's dependence on it) and /dev/null

Things I wish I spent more time doing

  1. Knitting

  2. Reading

  3. Editing things I've written

  4. Spinning

  5. Being social

Abilities of which I am Jealous in Others

  1. Musical talent, mostly playing the violin/viola and melodian.

  2. Signing and leading songs effectively (including remembering lyrics completely).

  3. The facility to function on much less sleep than I seem to require.

  4. The appetite to drink coffee without wanting to wretch.

  5. The ability to write computer programs with skill and grace.
