Daily Haiku

Patience is my strength

I wait without complaining

How long is too long?

Daily Haiku

Tasty perfection

Smooth, thick, the texture of bliss

Chocolate milk, please!

Daily Haiku

Darkness swallows light

Light pushes back the darkness

Cycle Eternal

Daily Haiku

For twenty-eight years

I have walked upon this road

Where will it lead now?

Daily Haiku

Shackled to a desk

The soul, oppressed, needs rescue

Lolcats* for the win!

*pronounced lawl-cats.  Seriously.

It means these.

Daily Haiku

Summer rears its head

The orb of fire sears my flesh

Bring back winter's sleep

Daily Haiku

Sadness reigns today

The words, they are not flowing

I put down the pen

Daily Haiku

I've started writing a haiku on my whiteboard at work every morning. Thought this would be a good place to keep track of them. Here's the batch thus far:

Fear random haiku

They can consume human souls

Yours is surely next

See the trunk monkey

He lies in wait for car theft

Fear his monkey wrath

A butterfly's wings

Start typhoons accross the world

What then of Man's hands?

At the rainbow's end

Sits a tiny man in green

Steal his lucky charms!

Sleep is for the weak

Yet morning is the devil

I embrace weakness

Most awesome waste of paper ever.

This is a game that was rigged up using a thermal paper printer to provide a track, a light projector to provide the player car, a PS3 controller for user input, and a laptop to link all three.  Pretty crazy, check it out:

Epic.

The altered passage of time... explained?

According to Einstein, an object moving at phenomenal speed would experience a slowing in the passage of time.  For example, a person aboard a spaceship moving at very high speeds would return home to find that much more time would have passed on the ground than he had experienced aboard the ship.

I propose the compliment is also true:  objects moving exceptionally slowly will experience MORE time than those moving at a normal pace.  This would, for example, explain why a human mind BORED TO A STATE OF NEAR TOTAL ENTROPY would experience far more time than normal, to the point that 2:16 on a tuesday afternoon feels like it should be 5:00 ON FRIDAY!!!

All that idle time to say this:

The left earlobes of mankind will be removed to sate the hunger of the giant space weasel.  That is all.

This just in:

WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!

Its true you know.
