Recently discovered this site, courtesy of Brent Ozar and his email’s that I’m getting now that I am doing his recorded video training.
This article, 100 Tips for a Better Life, is the one he mentioned, but the whole site looks really interesting so hopefully I get around to checking out more of it.
An amazing artist in the Atlanta area whom I found via Facebook because a friend “liked” his page on there.
If you have not seen this, you really need to. This is one extremely talented person.
Really. Check it out. Buy some art.
Buy me some art. Seriously. I will send you my P.O. address so you can ship it to me.
His work is absolutely wonderful.

Sometimes amid the chaos and confusion, when I am too flustered to even consider a way out of it all, a mental glimpse of a soul in harmony with itself reveals the truly beautiful nature of the universe and gives my breath a moment of eternity.
To all my brothers and sisters of love, thank you for your kind words and peaceful nature.
I wish you all good things, always.
Namaste.
It will be the end of us all. Reporting to mother ship. www.stopabductions.com must be stopped !
What does everyone have against aliens anyway? I would personally love to meet one.
They only ever come around when I am unaware of it though, it seems.
Kraftwerk web site has an interactive Boing Boom Tschak sound machine.
I was meandering along, reading this or that about numbers in general and 23 specifically and all sorts of other random silliness, because it is the 23rd of the month, I suppose, when I found the Sizes.com site.
It’s wonderfully useful and blissfully simplistic.
It contains sizes, grades, units, scales, calendars, chronologies; all things quantifiable quantified.
Let the fun begin.
This site is awesome!!! These pages demonstrate visual phenomena and »optical illusions« or »visual illusions«. The latter is more appropriate, because most effects have their basis in the visual pathway, not in the optics of the eye. (by Michael Bach)
This page is very cool. Here is an excerpt from it:
MENTAL, ONE-LINE CALCULATION
The Indians have an ancient system of Clairvoyant Mathematics claiming that they can literally “see” the “shape” of the Answer to any Problem, like 106 x 108. The highest Sutra or Formula of all the 16 possible Sutras, is called “Vilokanam” which means, “By mere Intuition” or “By Mere Observation”.
Just by looking at the Question:
“What is 106 x 108”
they can see the answer within one second.
In some cases, the answer is not resolved mentally, so it must be written down, but only by using one line of working out. So these Yogis, 2,000 years ago, had intellectual contests or spiritual games of outwitting one another with mathematical “Short-Cuts”. It was the spiritual head of India: Bharati Krsna Tirthaji, (1884-1960) who reconstructed all the knowledge from the time of Buddha circa BC500 and evolved it into Mental, One-Line Arithmetic that we are just catching onto today.
So to solve 106 x 108, think of the Base 100 and consider only how much these 2 numbers are above the Base of 100. As soon as I mentally flag those two excesses of 6 and 8, I have my answer instantly, by adding the 6 to the other number 108, making it 108 + 6, and by multiplying those two deficiencies which is 6 x 8, and viola, there is the magical, instant, mental answer:
106 x 108 = 108 + 6 / 6 x 8 = 114 / 48 =11,448.

The article was brought to me by my friend and I like it a lot. Keep the chain of love alive.
