Apple Store San Francisco

I was just in San Francisco for CodeCon. I stayed around the corner from the new Apple Store, only a few days before it opened.

This photo is a little bit of wishful thinking. The shell wasn't done yet.

Still, kind of serendipitous to see this being built, then on Apple's homepage. There's a nice place for breakfast next store.

Bush-Cheney campaign slogan

The Bush-Cheney '04 campaign slogan is "Steady Leadership in Times of Change", which is just a revision of the tried and true:

Don't Switch Horsemen Mid-Apocalypse

Role playing your life

[Note: This may fall to near to "I had a really weird dream last night..." but I wanted to write about it anyway because it was interesting.]

This morning when I was attempting to haul my jet-lagged self out of bed, I had an interesting thought [Note: thought, not dream! thought!]. I imagined that hitting snooze was like rolling the dice to build your character in a roll playing game. But instead of your roll determining your character's attributes, the dreams inbetween snoozes determine aspects of your life for that day.

In these feverish, 7 minute dreams, I often dream of strange things, entire worlds squeezed into the time between groggy slaps at the snooze button. What if, from each dream, you selected one thing from your dream to be a part of your life? What if you did this every morning?

Roll the dice...
