JAWing On – Life on Okinawa

Given my lifestyle, I often encounter many talented individuals, some of who are extremely gifted. On occasion, someone asks, “Who is your idol?”

I do not believe in idols in that sense. (If I did, the closest would still be George Burns.) There are many very gifted individuals in this world. I admire the talent, but never forget that these are still people. People who face a wide array of challenges in life, just as the rest of us do. The manner in which the individual handles those challenges determines whether are not they command my respect. In addition, I always remember no celebrity, no matter how talented, is a God.

For the past few days we’ve been lucky enough to be graced with half decent weather. Birds are singing and sunrays are shining, but a brisk wind still blows providing just enough nip to remind us that it’s not Spring yet. However, given the dampness of everything for the past few weeks, I’m not gonna complain about the wind. Instead I’m just basking in the sun and enjoying nature’s tunes. Taking solace in knowing Spring will be here soon enough.

I was looking at the mobile side my sites and noticed there may be a problem with the kanji again. It seems to have started after I changed to 2.0. If you have any questions as to the correct post, please visit the PC version. Thanks.

After posting a few minutes ago, I ran into this story about sickening behavior of the inhumane treatment of a defenseless puppy. What is wrong with these people? Has a large number of youth totally lost all connection to humanity?

Finally a morning where a person can actually see some sunrays. It’s fitting that this morning should be just one of those “special” ones. My project this week was to see if I could get a virtual machine to work on the computer. After several false starts, I was finally able to get this one to work. I am actually posting to this blog from a VMware Virtual Machine Server. Given that I am a newbie at all of this, that’s a pretty big feat for me. The best way I can explain of what having a virtual machine on my desktop is, it’s like a software program that acts as a CPU in which you place an chosen operating system (in other words, it’s like having a computer on your computer desktop). Each machine, you can have more than one, acts independently of the other. It’s all rather fascinating from my point of view. I’ll keep you informed of things I learn as I go along.
