Or rather A direction.  Sort of.

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking and reading and learning about things lately. In 8 years of this blog I’ve tried dabbling in several areas from sharing free stuff to cars to tech to politics to faith to movie reviews.  Posts have been rather sporadic at best especially in the last few years.  I’ve concluded it’s a result of my main problem which also affects my music direction.  I enjoy and have an interest in entirely too many things.  So many that it’s nearly impossible to decide which direction to go.  I’m going to try to remedy this, at least to a small degree, here on cyclops. more »

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts
Isaiah 55:8-9

I need this to resonate in my head each day when I wake up.

11.4 inches of snow yesterday + 30-40mph winds last night + actual temps below -10 = snow day.  Here’s a couple of pics out the back door.  Beautiful!  Even if it did take nearly 2 hours to thaw out and de-ice the cars.

I now have links in each post for sharing on social media (aka Facebook, Google+, Twitter).  The design and number of services supported may change over time but the main sites will be there.  Please use them to share any posts you find interesting.  Thanks!

Well, maybe and maybe not.  But the company was just acquired by Yamaha [source].  I must say however that while I haven’t been a huge user of Yamaha gear, I have come in contact with it numerous times and always left the encounter with a positive impression.  Not to mention I recently upgraded my home stereo receiver to a new Yamaha and am so far pleased in so much as possible with the newer technology (analog is just much better sounding to my ears).  So, hopefully Yamaha will retain the management and creative force behind Line 6, as well as support for their older products, of which I do have one, and support thus far has been fairly solid.  We shall see.

Allergies, especially asthma, has not been kind the last few weeks. Anxiously awaiting a hard freeze.

Fall has arrived a little early.  Will we have an early winter?

Most trials and difficulties in life aren’t really brain surgery.  Once in a while, it really is.

Modern Miracles, what a mouthful, right?  What do those two words evoke when you see or hear them?  In this day often our thoughts move directly to technology, especially related to micro evolution that surrounds us.  One thing that comes to mind is a recent development of tiny robotic machines that could one day traverse our veins and spy on health issues.  Dare we imagine?  How about a cure for cancer, or AIDs or other such plagues against our bodies?  How about just eliminating the common cold as we nearly have smallpox?  That one I’d like to see. more »
