traipsing around north county

And the way I feel tonight
I could die and I wouldn’t mind
And there’s something going on inside
Makes you want to feel makes you want to try
Makes you want to blow the stars from the sky

time/chance

15 years: 5,480 sunsets
the days spin by, the hours whirl

scattered wildly like spilled grain
as I was, so I will be
upon this path to nowhere

Sturgeon's Law Meets Moore's Law

It's true that technology lets us produce products and content at a much faster rate and at a much greater volume but if Sturgeon's Law is correct (90% of everything is crap) then we're also producing almost a magnitude of order more crap vs. product/content at a much faster rate and at a much greater volume.
