I like to describe myself as suffering from serious internal conflicts (not always with that exact phrase). Not that insightful of an observation, really. Just a starting point. I’m sure everybody wants contradictory things, though we all deal with our personal paradoxes differently. Some people don’t acknowledge them. Some people don’t sweat them.
The one that […]
The parts of you that you love the most are the parts which everyone else hates.
It’s lonely being so vain. Or lovely?
But the more they don’t care, the more you love them.
It’s misery to be so self-negating.
The only things they want from you were things you promised out of desperation, but couldn’t deliver. And whose […]
Autonomous process management. That will get you ten results on Google. “Process management” will get you sixty million results. But I’m into something more specific.
All I know about process management is what I know about computer programming. Here is my logic (or rationalization). Software is a process; in fact, that’s another word for a program […]
Can you hear it? Do you wear it? Will you reach for it?
It’s a great responsibility. To seek it. To honour it. To listen to it. What is true? What is right? What is good? Can you ask these questions? Can you answer them? Have you considered them? Or have you just filled in the […]
Nothing stops us. Nothing drives us.
We simply go.
The universe is inscrutable. So why do we try to understand it? Why do we ask why? There is no answer, but we search anyway, because searching is what we do. Those of us who search for nothing in nothing. We find it, and yet we continue to […]
Which world? And from what shall they save it? By what means?
What control have we, human beings, over the events of tomorrow? Do we have the capacity to change our society, our world, or are we mostly the victims of greater forces, be they natural or supernatural? Can we change the world, or does the […]
I thought of this earlier today, while I contemplated the snow and cold and bleakness outside. Not a new idea, but deserves consideration: build covered parks for improving mental health. Government sponsored with a small admission fee, just a park inside a dome. It would have to be big enough to give a sense of […]
Numerous critics (like Andrew Orlowski) of Wikipedia have come out swinging since the news broke not long ago of various abuses its articles have suffered at the hands of ignorant and malicious “contributors”. I feel that the essential problem with Wikipedia (a site which I use frequently and value highly) is not so much the […]
I’m way out of my league here, but I’m obsessed about this, so I might as well get it out of my system.
We need a few changes to the way the streets work to make city living more tolerable. I live in Toronto, where as far as I can tell, the traffic design is completely […]
Soon, domain names like “hubrist.com” and all other will be nothing but a quaint memory, anachronistic flotsam from a by-gone Internet era (i.e.: this one). Domain names are stupid. Here’s something better.
Everyone (including companies, cities and the like) gets their own personal IP address in the IPv6 address space. Hell, they can have their own […]
