No warning from the future
Possible Reasons why I haven't yet had a future version of myself stop me from doing something stupid:
Future me knows it will all work out in the end so he doesn't bother.
The paradox of interfering with his own past prevents him from coming back in the first place, making it impossible.
Time travel is not publicly available before he dies.
He has a limited number of trips back and this particular mistake doesn't warrant one of them.
He's actually already here, influencing events without my knowing.
That's just not how it works.
These are the sort of things i wonder as i traverse a strange neighborhood at sunrise.
That, and how much I wish the last bottle of champagne was actually a R250 cheeseburger.

The Bed Equation
about
air conditioning,
bedroom,
heat
My wife and I have a problem in the bedroom many will relate to. She wants to have big puffy duvets that she can sleep under while the aircon cranks and the temperature sits at a chilly 8ยบ below whatever it is outside. The room is sealed up air tight and I feel like a side of meat in a rather nice restaurant. Maybe a 3 star with a chef whose career is now waning into the twilight of a spectacular run, but can still cook a mean fillet.
Mt preferences for sleeping conditions run in a different direction. I prefer leaving room temperature, maybe having a fan on low to create some movement, a light duvet and an open window.
I invariably lose this difference in opinion. At some point in some evening, possibly spurred on by the dementia suffered in the advanced stages of hypothermia, I tried to solve this problem mathematically.
I was never ever going to succeed, but if you want to have a bash, please build on my foundations. I give you, the bed equation:

Kelly = K
Air Conditioner = AC
Blanket = B
Dorin = D
Fan = F
Solve for Warm (W)
D + 1F = W
K
------- = W
0.5(B) + 21(AC)
Solve where D + K = W
Geeks - Cooler Than You Thought
about
clever bastards,
costume,
geeks,
google,
halloween
Sure, geeks take a lot of flack, but anybody who can turn a couple of t-shirts, some thick rimmed glasses and some tape into a Halloween costume that only works if it includes a hot chick with massive tits deserves at least a little respect.
Sharing is Caring
It makes sense to be able to share straight to your Google+ page from Google Reader. You'd think that would be a native function that would be one of the first things they did.
I can email, +1, send to any other number of content and social platforms, but I can't share to my own networks without opening a second window in my browser.
On that note, why can't I have the full suite of editing tools blogger provides when I use the Blogger extesnion I have installed on Chrome. Sharing content needs to be easier than this.
Failure Is Not an Option
about
failure,
fallibility,
humans
People are humans too. They understand, expect and grudgingly accept fallibility. They don't like it but it isn't surprising. The more cynical members of our race consider it the norm.
They may be disappointed if the plane is delayed, or the part is sold out, or their steak isn't rare enough. They'll forgive and move on. Almost is, usually, good enough.
Unless it's that one thing that under no circumstances can you possibly be expected to fail at. Pilots do not screw up the landing. A pizza never arrives cold. Your phone call has to go through.
What can you not afford to fail at doing?
Managing leftovers
about
idea,
leftovers,
Tupperware
Very often I'll be going through the fridge, either at home or the office, and I'll come across Tupperware containing something past its throw away day. Sometimes by a few days, sometimes by much longer. So here's a techie idea: Tupperware with a programmable alarm.
When you put the item in the fridge, you set its throwaway date. This connects to your fridge profile via an app or a site. The app then sends you notifications before the items expiration date.
If we wanna get really fancy, maybe it links you to a recipe site that can make suggestions of meals based on which ingredients in your fridge are about to go off.
No more forgotten bits and pieces going all mouldy. As a bonus you'll most likely have more fridge space, you'll save money and you're less likely to lose your expensive wifi enabled Tupperware.
