<-- my life, by webgoddesscathy --> :: Friday, February 03, 2006 :: "You have cool taste in music." That's what he said. And I will remember it. I fairly glowed with pleasure. Coming from such a snob, it's no wonder that I should feel so affected a seemingly innocent, careless sort of comment. But these words were not given lightly. And so I do not take them lightly. There are people out there, notably my friend Scott of RaptorBlog fame, who do not agree with the assessment. I do believe his diatribe including the phrase, "you have the WORST taste in music" has stuck with me for about 10 years. My ever-so-eloquent come-back ("in YOUR opinion" - god, I embarass myself) was a feeble attempt to cover up my injured pride. However, the recent compliment did include a qualifier: it is the most chilled-out cool music collection on record. Touché. And I can't get enough. Even now, I praise internet radio and especially radioAmbient for its ability to satiate my appetite. To be honest, I can't find a radio station that has quite my collection mix in rotation. And so I continue to collect oddities from LimeWire. I suspect it will soon be time to start up my own internet radio show. Ha, right. Right after I finally find the spare time for that long-awaited redesign... :: Cathy 7:39 PM [+] :: 2 comments Based on a recommendation from Deespot, I checked out my site on Sitening. I got a 70 out of 100. Not great. However, not too bad when you consider what Deespot reported - he also got 70 and that's considered "average". Now, I would like to point out that I'm no longer working as either a developer or in a technical capacity and he is a technical lead or something cool like that. So that leads me to feel not as bad. Although I'll be taking a look at this report and making some adjustments in the nearish future. I mean, for goddessakes, isn't it important that my personal site rank well in the search engines? ;) Seriously, what will people do if they can't find my genuis in their search results? :: Cathy 3:12 PM [+] :: 0 comments :: Tuesday, January 31, 2006 :: Tonight I went to my first MaRS event. It was very interesting - all about collaboration between engineers and medical sciences. The main speaker cautioned researchers (engineers especially) to find an application for their technology before they even begin their research. Research is to be cherished, for sure, but we must be sure that it serves a purpose. Many scientists presented their emerging technologies with a slide that indicated what the implications of this technology could possibly be. But no one had asked those in the suggested disciplines if they could actually USE (or they even wanted) the new technology. A sad story for research. I guess it bodes well for a collaboration centre like the one I work for. It is truly needed. :: Cathy 8:30 PM [+] :: 0 comments :: Sunday, January 29, 2006 :: Going home is always a time of reflection. Our family is certainly one for talking. We love to discuss and consider and reminisce and share. I love it. I love hearing about what life was like when my parents were my age (or younger and just at my stage in life, since by my age, they had 3-4 kids). The house is in the middle of nowhere, so it's a good place to get perspective on life. It's so far removed from the city and the career I focus on every day. It makes those things seem very unimportant in the grand scheme of life. There, everything is about relationships - with oneself and others. Our talks always lead me to question life and my goals and even what I value. It's good for me to take a macro-view of things from time to time. It helps me stay on track. I just wish that we could all talk without bitterness and misunderstanding. Is this unrealistic? :: Cathy 7:33 PM [+] :: 0 comments
