etcon trackbacks?

Hmmmm. Was just surfing through the O’Reilly ETCON presentations that I won’t be able to attend (she said, self-pityingly), when I noticed a brand-new, nifty-looking Trackback Link. Wonder what happens when I ping it? Let’s find out…

Update
My activity log reports an “internal server error” from O’Reilly’s trackback server, alas. Maybe tomorrow?

Time for bed now. Too many B papers that will never be As for one night.

nothing gold can stay

(I meant to post this yesterday, but the time got away from me. And so did the color.)

On my drive home from work, I thought to myself—“It’s today.” Every year I wait for this day. The day that Robert Frost’s words float through my head, helping me to recognize the importance of living in the moment.

Nothing Gold Can Stay
 
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
