Little knickknacks of information. The tiniest little pinpricks into my head. That's what I keep walking away from things with.

For example, out of this entire story about Wal-Mart and their supposed Legion of Infodoom HQ or whatever, here's the bit that leaps out at me:

The prefix tera comes from the Greek word for monster, and a terabyte is a trillion bytes, the basic unit of computer storage.

I had no idea that's where "tera" came from. Did you? You probably did, didn't you? Anyway, there's a lot going on in my head right now.

First up, two ideas for books showed up. One while I was in Manhattan and it won't leave me alone. The second is something I wrote on a lark years back that somebody mentioned offhandedly that it could become a book unto itself.

Then, I'm working on two new things that will hopefully see fruition in a bit. One next week, mayhap. We'll see.

And the site looks like shit. It's one of those things that when I come here and I start looking around and what I need to do, my brain just shuts right the hell off. Maybe once I get the contest engine up at Needcoffee I can come back here and start cleaning up. I'm starting to hate what this looks like. So who knows what's coming?

I just know I need to sleep a lot less. Getting old really fucking sucks.
