Tiny Thursday Thoughts

Song on my mind... "Slavonic Dance No. 7 in c minor (Skocná), Op. 46" by Antonín Dvořák

It's a much catchier tune than the name implies. I heard it on KDFC yesterday while carpooling to work. The song is a little over three minutes in length and it's one of eight pieces that make up Dvořák 's Slavonic Dances, Opus 46, the work that brought the composer to prominence. Here's an mp3 of it for your listening pleasure.

With the weather so nice this week, I've wanted to relocate my cubicle to one of the nearby parks. It wouldn't be that difficult in theory. My chair is on wheels. I don't need much surface space. I'm sure I could find rocks to keep any papers and files from blowing away. The only trouble I might run into is with the computer tower and 18" CRT monitor. They aren't really made to be lugged around. Plus, I would need one long extension cord to power everything. This is when having a laptop as a workstation would come in handy.

I found the following Calvin & Hobbes text on my PDA that I had forgotten to post...

Calvin: Popular culture isn't to blame for selling twisted values. Movies, records and TV shows reflect the reality of our times. Artists depict hatred and violence because that's what they see.
Hobbes: Why don't they see things of beauty and value?
Calvin: Because boring stuff doesn't sell.
Hobbes: Such vision and integrity.
Calvin: There's nothing like a good gunfight to uplift the spirit.
