Naquada

So its 12:46 am on Sunday morning, I’m sat at the Mac listening to Searching For The Balearic Heartbeat from the album Heavy Mellow by Chris Coco.

Todays goal was pretty simple. To take time for me, and do stuff I wanted to do.

I’ve been playing with some muscle reading and waking hypnosis techniques in my magic over the last few weeks, and to help with the general ideas I’m having in that space I got The Speed Reading Book and Use Your Memory: Understand Your Mind to Improve Your Memory and Mental Power both by Tony Buzan from Waterstones today.

I then spent the evening with a very close friend who’s always been there over the years, and shares quite a few of the same interests as me, a curry some wine and some general horse talk.

My minds now racing on something I’ve just read in conjunction with a book test he showed me a week or two back. A book test, to those not in the know is magic effect of asking someone to pick any page in a book, look at a word, and you tell them the word they are looking at. Mixing some Muscle Reading, some Suggestion and the initial idea we discussed a while back I think I may have come up with a pretty good method for the whole effect, this is where the memory and speed reading requirements came in.

In the general ramblings I’ve also started to install my blog at www.enterprisedataintegration.com. Which is going to be a completely work related blog, I’m working on the assumption that since IBM encourage blogging by their employees I’d give a work related blog a go. I’ve already started my own internal blog at IBM, each employee gets their own blog space which is pretty cool, as well as the ability to podcast from the IBM servers. So life at IBM seems to be possibly looking quite cool going forward.

..and the final thought.. Heavy Mellow is a wonderfully relaxing album, as always from Chris Coco!
