Between Wiener Rolls & Light Bread

I created a Facebook account in my legal name. It seems so appropriate. I've been warned by practically everybody who knew I was going to do this not to get into any deep discussions people aren't ready for. I don't need the warnings, but they're obviously well intended. I know or know of many of the people involved. They all know me by my legal name, and some know I'm felix too. I'm thinking maybe it's time to put felix behind a veil of forgetfulness. I am is he, but nobody needs to gnow. The quest he sot out to fulfill is a done deal, and his cup runneth over.

I keep moving things around these days. I bragged on my little bluetooth keyboard, but it physically broke on me. The space bar stopped working. I took it out to see if there was some trash under it messing it's normal operation up.

There was some trash under the space bar, but when i cleaned it out I saw the piece of cracked plastic under the left side of it. I don't know it that was associated with the problems I was having. When I put it back together after cleaning out from under it, and it still didn't work, I had to resolve myself to it being a goner. It cost $80 and never worked right. Of course it's too late for the warranty to kick in.

The most attractive aspect of this keyboard was it's small footprint. I think maybe Apple has a wired keyboard like this now because of the problems they had with Bluetooth. I may buy it down the road, but not really. I'll probably just keep the large keyboard. The numerical keypad is not in the way of using the mouse since I switched to using my left hand for the mouse. The keypad is on the right side and no longer in my way.

I've been reading on Anandtech.com again recently. When Anand explains a new technology I come away thinking I actually understand what the big deal about whatever it is he has taken upon himself to write about. Most recently it's been about SSDs, and today, he wrote about Intel's newest chip series they'll start producing by the end of the year:

The most interesting thing he wrote today was an article about how slow Intel and the other chipmakers are NOT implementing the new SATA3 and USB3 technologies. I wrote yesterday that these upgrades couldn't happen until either Intel or AMD put them in their motherboard chipsets. Anand wrote today that wasn't going to happen for the foreseeable future. I think we got ESP together.

According to what he stated, they're holding back because they're afraid their systems can't satisfy the needs of the SSDs and they don't know how to deal with the kind of burden they place on them. Too bad, but on the other hand, there is no need to wait to buy a 64-bit system so that i can use Snow Leopard. I could be dead of old age before they solve that problem.

It'll be easy enough to know when they have. They'll make SATA3 and USB3 available when they put them in the chipsets. If that happens it will be all over the tech news sites. I read some in the forums. I'm not nearly the only one who has been anticipating the implimentation of these faster technologies.

Meanwhile, I could get a hell of a boost with my present 32-bit Mac Mini if I bought an SSD now. The bottleneck IS the slow storage drives. The cheapest SSD made in the last six months would remedy that. They still too expensive to buy on an impulse and then have them outdated by either USB3 or SATA3 being brought into play. The thing is, I'm not unhappy with my present system since I maxxed out the DRAM to 2 gigabytes.

I know it seems odd that I'd get all up into this technical crap. I was stuck trying to come to grips with what to do about the difference is between my religious views and most of the rest of the world's religious views. I figure the reason I'm writing about technology is because I don't really have any more to say about my religious views.

My religious views resolved to the results of what's called in Christianity "gnosis". That's what my eccentric visions and gifts are about. The Catholic church didn't accept the views of the Gnostic back in the early Christian days and banned it. Apparently they tried to control all the graven images that supported such a notion.

I really needed to know where I stood with the Christians. Christians of all kinds that depend on the written words of the Judaic-Christian traditions. I write "the written words" because there appears to be a hypocisy between what's written and what ex-is-es* in real ti-me.

* Hurray! I've been trying for a long time to come up with a spelling (with hyphens) that points out that there is two different states of being I attempt to express in layman's terms. All that can be said of the id (cosmic soup) is that "It is". If you ain't "is-ing" (being at one with the cosmic soup);

The Holy Longing

Tell a wise person, or else keep silent
because the massman will mock it right way.
I praise what is truly alive,
what longs to be burned to death.

In the calm water of the love-nights,
where you were begotten, where you have begotten.
a strange feeling comes over you
when you see the silent candle burning.

Now you are no longer caught
in the obsession with the darkness
and a desire for higher lovemaking
sweeps you upward.

Distance does not make you falter.
now, arriving in magic, flying,
and finally, insane for the light,
you are the butterfly and you are fare gone.

And so long as you haven't experienced
this, to die and so to grow.
you are only a troubled guest
on the dark earth.

Goethe

the only other option for is-ing is ex-is-ing. Rest and motion. The two bowls of the waxing and waning of the Moon. Yin and yang. Polarity. At-one-ment in alloneness. Bringing in the sheathes... work, for the night is co-me-ing. Yadda, yadda, yadda...

So now, when I conjure for is-ness and ex-is-ness you're know what I mean when I write "ex-is-es" to mean the opposite of "wot is and only is". The "only is" part is a little tricky. It implies that you're totally inside of "wot ain't". As in, "Is she is or is she ain't... mah baby?"

What is and what ain't have to be allowed to ex-is simultaneously in paradoxical relation in order to grok the big picture that includes wot is and wot ain't. That means they're in and they're out of the weather at the same time. They're clothed for it, but they're still naked to themselves individually under their armor of "truthiness".

Sa-me thang with the specious present. You gotcha future co-me-ing at yah, and yo' past un-do-ing your belief in the future. The future must be plausible in it's arrival, yet unconvincing for it to pass on into it's own fate or kismet.
