I live with tiny tim.

So get this… Today after work, as we pull in the driveway im geting the mail, and as I walk back towards the house past the cars, Stale is geting out of his car. He looks at me and goes “wana see some shit?” and procedes to get up out of his car, turn around, close the door and walk to the back door, then open it.

All without using his sticks…. at all… they were still in the car.

It obviously hurt like hell and was a strain for him, but it was one of the most impressive things I have witnessed in a long time. I’m somewhat amazed he didnt throw the sticks to the ground, do a double backflip and and stand up and say “God bless us… everyone”

For those who dont know, dan has slowly degraded from using a cane to a pair of walking sticks over the past few years, even so bad at times that for events like MML and Lanwar where hes moving around alot, he instead uses his wheelchair. But since moving down here to work for me here in Atlanta he has begun to move around a shitfuckton more than ever before, especially since he has to go up and down a flight of stairs every time he goes in and out of the office. I think all that excercise is paying off. It was actually really rewarding to see this… I feel really good for him. No matter how you look at it, his health is going down hill, there is no way around it, but Im glad to see him gaining back the strength to at least make a bit better of the situation while he can.

Course this means I cant rely on the safty of the fact that if hes out of arms reach I can make fun of him, now I run the risk of him launching out of his chair and coming after me for a few steps…

The machine is Us/ing us.

Stale linked me to this youtube video… it was…. thought provoking. Rarely do i come across a video on youtube that isnt something crazy and off the wall, or funny…. or ridiculous. This one is different though, this one has a pretty deep meaning, is rather thought provoking, and really makes you look back on the web the last 20 years, and the impact it has had on our society as a whole, as well as our future.

To even try to imagine where we would be today without the web is unfathomable, and to see how we could ever accomplish the things on the horizon that are so close, without it… impossible.
