The Schrödinger Cat.

The Confounded Cat [in a Paper Bag].

About Me

I feel a warm western breeze sifting through the trees,
dressing old wounds in distant dust and whispered wisdom,
lightly holding fresh wounds in with a mother's soft kiss from an ocean away,
tempering bitter cold words with new world knowledge,
awakening apple blossom hindsight lost under the withering winter snow,
giving life to dull roots stuck in forgetful soil.

The Leaf.

A crisp green leaf whispers over my ear, pausing my mercury feet from delivering myself into the hands of the mid afternoon goddess. It murmurred a muted message echoed between the dimensions of space...

i'm looking to tinker with a few hard drives I have laying around and find out if they are worth salvaging. Preferrably I'm looking for something with firewire but beggers can't be choosers. I'd at le...
