Which way is up/within?

I have been listening to podcasts over at www.urbandharma.org. Buddhism clicks in my mind. Yet it is so hard to shake theistic leanings. I find myself wanting to find something in Christianity. Perhaps it's just simply because of fear of walking alone? I also find myself wishing after the Hindu path of devotion, as I look up towards the small poster of Durga hanging on the wall in my room.

My ego is either strong or invisible. There are so many extremes in my mind.


The old lampshade iMac is becoming less useful as time goes on. They seem to be subtlety changing the web in ways that make it choke more often. I wish I could afford one of those fancy new intel ones.
The chromebook is working well. Though there are a few things I wish it could do.  It seems insane that there is no official way to upload music to Google Play with it. When I download music on there it reminds me I can only do it twice, unless I use Music Manager. They don't have Music Manager for Chrome OS. I'm not sure if aborted attempts count either.

I think I will have some coffee now.

Tracks



I just cracked open the plastic baggie on my never opened Dell branded optical mouse. There is no telling how many years its been sitting around. I'm not sure why but ever since I put the Chromebook on this little desk I have found myself reaching for a mouse. It was recognized, and usable right away of course.


While on a walk to a Chinese restaurant today I snapped a picture of railroad tracks. I'm not sure why.
