Trash the Memories

January 16, 2010 in About Me by Ezra S F | No comments

Been paying attention to the Backupify blog. Let’s disregard the distressing idea someone would bother to tweet during his (probably not her) wedding.

Show me someone who can’t use Twitter. Probably from their mobile phone. Possibly while getting married…. After all, you wouldn’t want to permanently lose your wedding photos. Why wouldn’t the same logic apply to your wedding tweets?

I’ve been reading old LiveJournal blog posts as I go through them categorizing, tagging, and changing visibility settings. Several I have just trashed. I’m sure I meant something profound way back when. The old me maybe had potential, but it surely failed to express any of it well. Whenever I look at my old photos, I also think if I knew then what I know now, then I could have done a better job.

Here is to hoping the 2015 doesn’t find me as pathetic as the 2010 me finds the 2005 me.

Open Letter to Anyone Who Asks Me a Question

May 14, 2009 in About Me by Ezra S F | 1 comment

When I preface statements with something like “Used Google to look up <search term>”, it means:

The following is my interpretation of what you are asking. You should do your own research on the search term to better understand the issue. I’m telling you the search term I used to nudge you in what I think is the right direction.

Probably I spent < 10 minutes doing my research. So the quality isn’t of the highest standard. I’m not speaking with authority… Just trying to be helpful.

Update: I don’t generally mean it to be condescending… As in, you should have checked Google before asking anyone about it.

Ezra Haters

May 8, 2009 in About Me by Ezra S F | 3 comments

I knew Ezra is relatively rare as a name. That just means people cannot pronounce it correctly, think it is a girl’s name, or think it is a pseudonym. 

Still…. There are more boys in the State of Georgia named P or Z (yes, just the letter) than named Ezra. Nice.

Writer’s Block: Infamous

December 7, 2008 in About Me, from LiveJournal by Big Eazy | No comments

January 28, 1986

At school, a teacher knocked on the door. Our teacher went to find out what was wrong. We were told to go into another room and sit on the floor. About half the kids on the hall were packed into one of the two rooms with a TV. The talking heads were in the middle of reviewing what had happened and the latest updates.

Me and another kid noticed the flame on the Solid Rocket Booster before the broadcasters. We wanted to know what it meant and why did it get bigger?

Before this event, I doodled army stuff… planes, tanks, soldiers, explosions, tracers. After this event, I doodled space shuttles, launching facilities, landers, alien worlds, and space stations. I had a defined future… to build space vehicles.

Having the Life

October 25, 2008 in About Me by Ezra S F | No comments

I really don’t like this question.

If you could inhabit the body of any famous person for one week, who would you choose and why?

The intent probably is more to have someone else’s life. However, the way the question is stated, I really would not get to have that person’s life… Just be in that body. I am me. They are they. Their life is based on their responses to their environment. My responses to their environment will be different.  Let’s say I pick a Nobel Laureate. Now I have these completely foreign responsibilities I know nothing about handling. Unless I pick someone with a similar life to mine (no fun), inhabiting anyone else’s body would be a nightmare not a dream.

Yeah, I am overthinking the question.

Probably this is because I cannot think of another life I would really like to live other than my own for a week. I like it. It is mine.

Legacy

October 14, 2008 in About Me by Big Eazy | No comments

Our digital legacy distracted me from the real topic…. My real legacy. What will I hand down to the future?

I don’t really have any property from the past other than some digital photographs. I don’t have any property whether buildings, land, or mineral. Those things belong to my parents. To be fair, they did ask me to take some of them when I left (and continue to suggest I do so).

Maybe there is some intangible something?

  • Expertise?
  • Values?
  • Accomplishments like a technique or a discovery?

Nothing yet.

Boooooring

August 28, 2008 in About Me by Ezra S F | No comments

Last night, Paul said my blog has gotten boring with all the CE/Vista stuff. He’s right. To be fair, my life has gotten boring.

I have not had a baby like Lacey or Myk.

I am not in love so spewing poetry.

I am not saving lives with an NGO.

I just sit in my cube, identify problems, and whine about them. Thus the name of the blog.

:D

Rhetoric

August 3, 2008 in About Me by Ezra S F | No comments

When you think of “rhetoric”, do you think of…

using language effectively to please or persuade

or

loud and confused and empty talk

When I originally went with rhetoric in the blog name years ago, I was thinking with the latter to fall in with the already loud ones.

Somewhere along the journey, I switched to wanting what I wrote to have meaning and help someone along the way. Part of why I don’t blog much is avoiding being a gas bag. The posts ought to mean something.

Maybe its not so bad to get the idea out there and let someone else provide the meaning?
