I am reading about ten books on cyberculture.

It is the end of term now and I am free from authoritarian school for the summer. I borrowed about ten books on cyberculture and have been reading them this afternoon. I wore black today in honour of workers killed or injured on the job.

I created a simulation of the labour contract.

As a school project I created a simulation of the labour contract at a simulated firm. I used Stella 9 to do this work and the teachings of a professor at the University of Ottawa and also the theory of the former marxist microeconomist Samuel Bowles.

I surfed amazon.ca just now.

I was searching for web mastering books in particular a book for learning Dreamweaver. I got lost on searching for wobbly books.

I am trying to get three different OS's running on my Macbook.

Actually I will only have two different OS's running Mac OSX and Windows XP but I will run a KDE desktop on the Mac OS X if my tinkering is successful with Fink.

School exams written on computer

I was allowed to write a school exam on a computer. I shut the sound off of course. I wrote in Word. I submitted my answer a three page Word document on a 1 GB USB flash memory stick which cost me 12 dollars.

I got myself some pannier racks for my road bike.

I purchased some cheap pannier racks from the local camping coop. I want to be able to do some touring with my bike and also move around the city with my computer, with data projector and printer all on my bike. This is my moobile cyborg system.

I am studying economic systems design this weekend.

I am writing a final exam in economic systems design this Monday. I have been reviewing notes and reading for this course this weekend. I also took a break yesterday from studies and work to watch the NHL playoffs. This is one of the only forms of TV entertainment I can enjoy these days. I also enjoy Stargate SG-1 occassionally.
