Groundhog Day and loops/Mondays

No not Fruit Loops!  The loops are everywhere, catching us doing just about everything - from sleeping to eating to work and day dreaming.  Now you might be thinking
"Josh - Why Groundhog Day??

Well it's because its a loop

Now one thing on my mind lately is the amount of time management one has to have over time in order to seemingly "complete tasks" and "drive business".  So I had the chance to take a step back over the past couple days off and seriously think about what it is we do to accomplish not just the goals above - but our own goals. 
In Groundhog Day we find our hero trying to make the most of what he knows and the time he has - effectively managing his time better.  However he starts to see the frustration and hopelessness that comes from the same thing day   after  day   after  day. I don't think I know anyone who thinks any particular loops as exciting on its own but I believe that its quite always the context and perception of the one person who experiences them. 

So it's been a while since i mentioned anything with programming and looking at loops and the sheer number of them in even the most basic of games just astounds and amazes me right now.  Now to figure out how to make my own loops that will help me effectively manage my time.

I think monday is a good to post.  See you next week!

Satori moments and what they really mean

No - This is not a Japanese inspired post.  It's about the word and seemingly what it has replaced in my perception as of late.  So for those of us who are lazy : Satori.  Take a sec to go check this out - seriously I'll wait.


I had never heard this word before until several weeks ago in my Logic and Design weekly lecture.  Now the lectures are there to help maintain a human and explanation apart of the learning process, it is also extremely helpful to people who don't actually mind listening and learning as a process.  So satori is a moment of enlightenment and has very similar meaning to epiphany.  My professor giving the lectures refers to these moments a lot and also seems to put multiple explanations to it. 

A-HA! 

I seem to think that not only does Satori seem now like a bit more odd and unique for explaining this moment but it also serves as a conversation piece.  Hence here we are.  How many times have you ever heard this word?

In summary satori is a fancy way of saying A-HA and also a way to keep conversation grooving along.  Hope this either entertained you or satori-ed you.
