Lovely day.. Slept 'till 9 … Then a longish snowshoe on the long trail on virgin snow with diane and the ogs.It was a foot and a half deep and getting a little heavy.the dogs were working pretty hard to break trail as were we…
Rest of the day i spent on various projects.. I am heping with two projects for the upcoming interaction required' show at the bulington firehouse gallery. I was up late last night working on the one im doing withmy friends homer and karen. I got a pretty cool system going for reding patterns out of memory card to feed to those fancy led strips i use. Were using those lights to illuminate some of homers metal 'water' paintins.. Which will look very cool. I me with homer and karen mid afternoon to work on some of the hardware and software for that piece..
The rest of the afternoon i spent with eri, ken, john an olin working on our piece for the floor of the firehouse gallery.. We only have 2 weeks till installation. And have SO much still to do,,. Yikes .. We did make very good progress today, though. I love that group of folks…
Ding these projects reinforces to me that all projects take longer and are more complex than one ever estimates even when one tries to over estimate..
Is there a name for that ? If not.. Im claiming it.. From henceforth.. I'll call that 'cohns law'… You should too 🙂
Really nice. Started out with a nice long snowshoe up at the catamount Trail. There was probably a foot and a half of snow and it was just beautiful. We Visited the tree that we decorated around Christmas and took Off the few remaining strings from the food we had used to hang food on it.
We followed and Old woods Road past the foundation for what must've been an old mill..
The dogs love being out in the snow but it sticks on their legs so much I feel sorry for them.
It's actually hard to tell where the satori stops and the rug starts
i spent the rest of the day working on three major geek projects that have got going. Made good progress. Around 630 I got dressed because I thought we were going out but we both decided that we rather stay in. We made a nice Indian dinner and then we watched the most amazing movie. Its called Kumare… It's a documentary made by a guy named Vikram Gandhi. I know the story sounds terrible, but it's about him pretending to be a guru. I don't want to give it away. But it's an amazing story a little disturbing but very very interesting and actually heartwarming at the same time.
Well my inner guru is craving sleep so I'll that's it for today. More tomorrow
Night all, night Sam

Spring really seems to be here.. The giant icicle outside our bathroom window seem to be shrinking rather than growing.. Which is a sure sign…
Good productive day.. Mostly meetings .. Nothing special, but a good rhythm to the day..
Around 6:30 diane and i went to the high school to serve shifts as chaperones for the dance in the gym. gabe helped out with teh lights and zev did the music.. It was a good crowd tonight. My job was to hang out with my buddy jeff, and watch the end of the hallway near the bathrooms and make sure that noone had any fun :-).
I can honestly say i had more fun at this school dance than any i went to when i was a kid..
9:30 and I just fell asleep on the couch I didn't get to sleep until 5 AM this morning I was working with Some friends from work on a demo for a customer in France today. It was pretty fun people in France India and a couple of places in the US and Ireland all working together to make something happen. At 4 AM this morning things wernt working very well … but somehow by 6 AM everything came together. I understand the demo went really well.
It was so much fun writing code through the night for work. I was thinking about the last time I actually pulled an all night for work on something technical was in 1999. I remember it really well I was working with my friend Brian and my friend Vasant. I managed to talk to both of them today coincidently we all reminisced on the old days of working through the night.
That Doesn't mean I don't pull an allnighter occasionally. I'm guessing I run pretty close to an all nighter about once a month on some project or other usually it's not work-related. I had to almost all nighters just in January alone On the stamper thing . I do occasionally have to stay up pretty late for work as well, but it's usuallywriting or PowerPoint that is keeping me up then. I definitely enjoy doing it for making soething or coding.
There's something really special about that foggy hallucinatory state you get in as the sun starts to come up and the lines of code start to kind of move around on the page front of you. If you could just bottle that feeling….ahhhhhhh
Speaking of foggy hallucinatory states I am falling asleep on my feet I better get horizontal before I konk out More tomorrow.
