the center cannot hold, and where I am is not called Jake's anymore

Today, I am grumpy. And on some level, I see the humor in this. It's important to be able to laugh at these things.

Sometimes, like a large number of things in the same day don't work out right. Don't be too surprised if I snap at you later on. It's not your fault. Just letting you know.

It's simultaneously true that the world is a beautiful and exciting place and people are fun and brilliant... and that everything pretty much sucks and there are no good programming languages (and computers in general are very poorly designed) and people can't learn nothin' and we're doomed as a species.

Carry on, my wayward sons and daughters.
