I think the preoccupation of eliminating debt and getting this business off the ground is recurring again.

As we come to the close of this the second week of our second semester in seminary, it appears that the budget is going to require some review and revamping with respect to the time commitment required. Let’s just say a bit more reading and a bit more writing is going on here. I don’t much like reviewing the good ol’ budget, but it’s necessary.

If above all, for sanity’s sake. Looks like “no” is going to be coming out the bag a bit more frequently.

Just finished reading Jason Snell’s review of the Macbook Air. I see the utility for some, and otherwise still think it a bad investment. My chips are going to a souped up Mac Pro sometime later this year (God-willing after the funds present themselves more appropriately). I do think for the most part that the MBA represents the overpriced-underpowered “problem” if you will that kinda takes flight in our consumeristic society. I’m not taking jabs at Apple; I still enjoy their products, and have an affinity for overpriced and overpowered cars that don’t seat many people.

But someone commenting on the product linked to this site, which really got the gears turning for me with respect to world considerations and technology. I didn’t even read all of the site, but the faq was more than provactive enough for me. Read it for yourself. Reflection on necessity has a way of bringing things back into focus. The comments are open.

I’m bored. And that’s not good as evidenced by the fact I’m blogging, and thusly not giving undivided attention to class.

Let’s hope this doesn’t become a pattern again. My grade for this class is split between the midterm and the final, both of which look to require odious amounts of writing (did I say odious? Yea, I think I meant that).

Starting in t-minus 22 minutes. I don’t think I would call it anxiety, but as much as I don’t feel like coming back to class, I’m sure it will be more welcome than expected. At least the mental acrobatics will give me something else to occupy my thoughts with than what I’m not doing in my business (perfectionisms need to die anyway). At least we got a good start under the belt.

This should be interesting.

There’s something totally unsatisfying about being contacted about work you thought you were supposed to have been finished with. In this case, it’s a paper. Assignment says 2500-3000 words MAX, I turn in less, and now I’m under the impression that anything less is supposedly insufficient addressing of the material?!

*shakes head* .. and I thought I was done with writing for the semester.
