Lobby

I hate to go barking up the wrong tree but I am petrified we already did the wood jokes.

How 'bout them Sox?

I was really happy to find a matched pair in my drawer this morning. I was in a big hurry, and usually I just wear crocs (yes, I am slightly ashamed to admit it in public) so I don't really bother to have sox around. But for tai chi class, I need sneakers, so I need sox...

it all worked out.

so how bout those shoes?

Try the heels; toes work better with heels.

I think it'd be a mistake to wear high heels to tai chi class.

i've recently bought some of those: (most like these ones: http://www.vivobarefoot.com/eu/mens/aqua-lite-mens-6.html/)

Sneakers without heels; probably best to be worn for tai ci also:

or as other people might put it:

09:19 <@FastJack> Dennis Ritchie's passing: "Only 32,768 people can sign his condolence card, 65,536 if it's unsigned." -- Ross  Stapleton-Gray

for those... who don't know them.

Guess a new era is dawning

Steve Jobs was a celebrity. Dennis Ritchie was a behind-the-scenes kind of guy. 

Michael Jackson was a sleazeball and yet the world mourned his death.

The janitor from my high school was an amazing guy, and his death went all but unnoted.

Here's why it's bugging me.

Steve Jobs was a misanthropist who used sweatshop labor to build shiny things.
Upon his death, he was practically beatified by his fans and by the mass media.

Dennis Ritchie was a real computer scientist whose work laid the very foundations for modern software; it is probably impossible to do anything with an electronic device today that does not have some C or UNIX somewhere in the process. Upon his death, he is pretty much being ignored by the mass media.

It's a sad statement about our society. Not that I didn't expect this, though.

For me, this is bigger news than Steve Jobs. I remember briefly working at Bell Labs when he was there; when he would walk by, there was a palpable sense of "there's the man." If you don't know who Dennis Ritchie is, read this. You think Jobs revolutionized the way we use computers? You wouldn't even be reading this without Ritchie. RIP

while stallman might not be the cleverest guy in producing headlines, he still is right with his post about steve jobs.

I rather like it that way:
