It was a bright, winter day. The icy, crystal air scraped at my cheeks. With every breath, the frost cut deeper into my throat. Right through the extra thick wool sweater, the cold clawed at my bones. It felt as I was naked past my skin. This time there was no hope of returning unscathed. Somehow the inert brightness and cold amplified my sight;...

Alas. My computer is probably killing me. Isn't technology slowly killing us? It makes sense in evolution-that technology would slowly kill us all and not need a user. I sit with my laptop. Its warmth and humming noise sooth me. The warmth is like the warm touch of a humans....

You know that innocence they always talk about that slowly gets sucked out of your soul as you get older and older? Where they judge you if you talk about the magnificent chain of events that just happened in your mind all at once that have nothing to do with the current conversation?

Ah, such a beautiful word. We've all felt it, some of us are feeling it right now but after all what's it to it? Me, I have a tendency of questioning everything, I demand reasons for all my actions, I try to explain events, feelings, relationships, and of course love. And you know what I've discovered? Statistics is the way to go when you're...

Whatever intelligence is, it can't be intelligent all the way down. It's just dumb stuff at the bottom. — Andy Clark I believe we act based on a fundamental reliance on gut feelings.
