Time can change me...

...but I can't change time.

On the road with your laptop and forgot your alarm? Do you need more than one alarm some mornings? Want to wake to music or videos from your computer? Need an in-your-face at work reminder for that appointment?



Take a look at ALARMD Internet Alarm Clock. You can save the webpage locally if you prefer.

Weekend Things

I was in Chicago for the weekend. I went to a real record store (Gramaphone) and bought some CDs.

Had the opportunity to see someone give a meal to a homeless man. You should have seen the look of disbelief and then happiness on the man's face. It was so good to see. And I got to buy the man who gave him the food a meal in return. Good fortune and karma all around.

I walked a great deal exploring and didn't get to everywhere. I went to Boystown - how unremarkable it is the gay section of town - and had a coffee, people watched, and then went to 'gaymart' a store full of superhero figures and a few gay-themed items. Definitely a geek store though; I resisted the urge to buy a 13" Dalek. :| I did buy gifts for the girls. I also found a shop with silver fidget rings and
bought a few on a whim.



Asking the shop girl where she would take a friend visiting from out of town, I took off across the street for a whiskey at a local dive. Went to a weird leather clothing store and listened to a couple trying to return an open boxed dildo - you can't make these things up.

Dancing About Architecture

This was my view from my room this time in Chicago:

I tried the Hotwire reservation thing for the first time. The only bitch I have is that the highspeed Internet was anything but speedy and cost another $9 a day! So I only bought one day since I was walking about the city so much I didn't really notice. But I probably would have like to play online games at night - my Wow-time is wowsy.

I did get down to Millenium Park and listened to an outdoor concert; strings and a Spanish guitar. It was really wonderful, although damp and getting colder.

Chicago Work

Hey, hey, I'm on a plane,
and then a train,
In Chicago again,
Not the same,
as last time.

Have a Nice Day!

Attitude and your outlook on life is everything. If you are having a bad day, stop looking for why things suck and think about the things you can be thankful for. It is as simple as starting with "Have a nice day".

Now we know the purpose of the Internet
