Now, since the real test for any choice is having to make the same choice again, knowing full well what it might cost - I guess I feel pretty good about that choice, 'cause here I am, at it again. — Oracle, The Matrix Revolutions

New entry at my site - a review for my watch, Casio's G-Shock MT-G Atomic Tough Solar Watch, which I love. Read more here

I had a very weird dream tonight. I saw that I was a space traveller and we came in contact with aliens who could live in 17 dimensions. These aliens did not try to kill us off, but they made us humans well aware of the inadequacies of living in "just" 3 dimensions. These guys looked similar to humans, but I do not remember what other things they could see that we could not.

I arranged my closet and I found out that I have more shirts than t-shirts. Luckily, I have only one pair of pants and 6 pairs of jeans, so I am not handing back my geek badge anytime soon

The most touching scene in the Harry Potter books is the death of Snape.

"Look…at…me…" Snape whispered.
The green eyes found the black, but after a second, something in the depths of the dark pair seemed to vanish

Snape wanted to look into Harry's eyes because Harry had Lily's eyes,the woman he's loved in life and in death. I was lucky to get this the first time I had read the "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows" book and with his dying wish, I was able to better appreciate Snape's bravery and his character.

I am in love with the book Higher-Order Perl, especially the technique in the Chapter 2: Dispatch Tables.

Proscribe: to denounce or condemn (a thing) as dangerous or harmful; prohibit.

This word seems closely related to the word Prescribe, but I could not find any source which would mark proscribe as the antonym of proscribe.
