It's ok so far...
What's the topic about? I guess it's about how I'm doing. (I'm not living from my car or a cardboard box at least. So I can be thankful for that.) I'm trying to see if I got responses from job applications, following up on random old email addresses I have floating around in my contacts lists, and listening to some cool music from Archive.org (I should make a post reviewing that sometime) on a 2nd-hand iPod Nano using Floola.
Oh yeah, yesterday I even went as far as hand delivering my resume and example graphics to a place I saw posting in a newspaper help wanted ad. (If they respond wanting an interview, I'll know how to get there too.) There are signs that the economy is as overdue to pick up as much as I'm overdue to get a job since graduating college just over two years ago. (We both need the cash flow, right?) So we'll see... At least I'm thinking I might have a shot at it.

Eight dimensions...
Bored and pondering something... Some article about eight dimensional space possibly giving a clue to the theory of everything. So what eight dimensional sets could possibly be used to define anything thought of...
Spatial dimensions:
1. up-down (height)
2. in-out (depth)
3. left-right (width)
4. past-future (time)
Reaction dimensions:
5. light-heavy (mass)
6. attractive-repulsive (charge?)
7. inert-energetic (heat, relative velocities, spin, etc.)
8. nonresponsive - responsive (degree of being alive or conscious?)
The thing is that these dimensions can be thought of as nodes. Each node would contain a long array of potential values. Each value could then set drive relationships affecting all values in each node. And of course each node would respond in kind to what information is coming from the other nodes. Some other qualities we think of as unique might be a combination of nodes interacting such as inertia (mass + energy), gravity (mass + charge).
Also note that some dimensions could cancel out due to interactions with other nodes (maybe there's no anti-gravity because of an energetic relationship between mass and charge that zeros it?), and in other cases initially having a dimension of 0 could make just as much sense. (Ideas or memes can occupy time and energy, but no real space.) Likewise an idea that defines something could be made tangible by applying mass towards it. (Someone may think of a car, but there's no car until someone builds it.) But that's some of the craziness that makes up this universe. Who knows?
