That guy at the freeway exit

I always feel bad and look away when there is somebody standing there with a cardboard sign at the freeway exit. On an intellectual level I just don't get it. How is it possible that someone can be reduced to standing there at the corner waiting for a handout? I feel like helping but I know it will only be enabling.  So I look away, straight ahead to the turn light.

I'm about to go shopping. Does it make me a bad person to spend more money on stuff I don't need on myself rather then giving it to the have-not?

iWeb

I used iWeb for about 10 minutes tonight. It was simple, elegant, content driven, easy to use, and absolutely not for me. It has some good ideas and definitely easy to throw a quick and dirty web page online. Not something I can deal with. Now that I'm done with this detour, I can go back to real work. I didn't get all those books for nothing. About time I get to work. At least now my equipment works.

I almost forgot how much I love my little netbook. Ok I give up and called it a netbook. Trend driven, I am. It is really the only device I can use to write. I can concentrate on the words. It's probably because of the restricted work area it provides. It just forces my eyes towards a single thing.

I can't look at the screen any more. I've done more then my normal share of work today while staring at the screen. I shouldn't subject myself to more of that when I should be resting. Maybe I'll go for a long drive tomorrow.
