Journal entry

I enjoyed the introductions Thursday night.  I listened to the tape and
took notes, but I have heard what he said before.  When he says "Learn to
handle the winters. You can't change them" he is saying the same thing my
father told me about ballgames and life.  The phrase was "You win
some, you lose some, some get rained out, but you got to dress for them
all." 
When he says "Difficulty follows opportunity" and "Opportunity follows
difficulty," that is a premise that I heard in my first upper-division
history class, that is "history is cyclical" and a corollary to that is
that he who does not take heed of the past and seek to emulate the deeds
of greatmen of the past is doomed to fail...paraphrased from
Miachiavelli's The Prince.
I am not sure how what he said applies to technology, but I do know
what he said is not original.  The importance of his points are how much
we take them to heart.  I have never been much of a "cheerleader" so my
reaction may not be as visible as someone like Dr. A, but I listened and
heard what he said, now I have to place those bits of information into my
map of the scheme of things and ponder them just as I listened and heard
my father and grandfather and others who I consider mentors.

For the further edification of the class vis-a-vis Cognizant, etc.

Cogito (v1d.) 1)to think, ponder, reflect upon, weigh

Cogito ergo sum cogito---I think, therefore I am, I think?
Cogito, ergo doleo--I think, therefore I am depressed
Cogito, sumere potum alterum---I think I'll have another drink

Tuesday----Julius Caesar's famous statement (and variations) on his
victory in 47 B.C.

The template I developed for the critiques is attached...you can either
leave it on the server and move it into your public_html directory and
edit the critiques on-line or download the template to you local HD with
an FTP client like CuteFTP.
