Back to school
The children go back to school next week.
Dad asked me what I'd go to if I had to leave Sun at some point. His first suggestion was venture capitalist, but I don't think that one fits me.
I'd probably go back to school. But this time I'd go pay a bunch of money to teach myself without much help. First I need to research potential research topics. My research topic would probably involve researching better ways to survey topics and determine what we already know or have tried to know about them. Sort of researching part of research.
I read Larry Wall's State of the Onion yesterday. Finally understood that you could refer to what he calls laziness as elegance. Mind opening in a subtle sort of way.
