Scott Hanselman

Had a nice lunch at the O'Reilly Open Source Conference with Gunther Birznieks.  He's got offices in Singapore and we've got offices in Malaysia (I'll be there in August) and his company has worked with our company.  He was speaking at the conference but we really got to talking and somehow ended up on BBSs, and he mentioned that he wrote CBASE 64 a legendary and oft copied BBS for the, you guessed it, Commodore 64.  I have 3 C64s, 2 1541 drives and a 1501 monitor in my garage...perhaps it's time to fire it up and do some 2400bps war dialing? ;)

Let your mind be as a floating cloud. Let your stillness be as the wooded glen. And sit up straight. You'll never meet the Buddha with posture like that.

There is no escaping karma. In a previous life, you never called, you never wrote, you never visited. And whose fault was that?

The Tao has no expectations. The Tao demands nothing of others. The Tao does not speak. The Tao does not blame. The Tao does not take sides. The Tao is not Jewish.

Drink tea and nourish life. With the first sip, joy. With the second, satisfaction. With the third, Danish.

The Buddha taught that one should practice loving kindness to all sentient beings. Still, would it kill you to find a nice sentient being who happens to be Jewish?

Zen is not easy. It takes effort to attain nothingness. And then what do you have? Bupkes.

Thanks to everyone at the Seattle .NET Developers Association.  I haven't done a lot of User's Group lately, but I had a blast at this one.

Hey, I'm going to be up in Seattle for the .NET Users Group on the MSFT Campus on Monday, July 7th.  Anyone want to meet at the Crossroads around 4:45pm-5pm?   It's a good excuse to leave work early (research!)...help me carbo load (not really advised for diabetics) before the talk.  Leave me comments here or email me (link at the bottom).
