Thanks for that...

So this summer I'm working at UVic as a Research Assistant. My job is to create an Education Heritage Museum - online. Pretty cool stuff.

Currently I'm burning CDs of 700MB each full of pictures and scans of artifacts. Needless to say, I've got some downtime. My early 2000s era work eMac is great, but not great at doing more than one thing at once.

So I've been reading half marathon blogs. And "Jason's Half Marathon Training Blog" recounts seeing this highly inspirational poster on the edge of the course during his run:

“Remember: the pain you feel now may be temporary…
…but your time on the Internet lasts F O R E V E R!”

Thanks for that, helpful person. I'm not sure how the blog entry ends because I haven't read that far. I just thought this particular note was funny. And sad. And a bit true. Oh technology...
