Ok so recently, well yesterday I signed up for a blind charity - uh that is I'm donating £10 a month to a charity that supports blind people which I'm quite proud to do because it's often that I think how wonderful the world is and I qualify it with my sense of sight to a very large extent. So on a psychological level I feel that having that deteriorate or cease to function would quite possibly change an outlook on life so if there is something that I can do so that such an impact isn't as terrifying as I interpret it to be - that's a worthy cause. Its not a huge donation but it's a start. I do the same with a children's charity that looks after children who haven't got the means to look after themselves. Now that I come to think of it £10 monthly also is not much but it's something every month at the very least. Perhaps when I'm better able to contribute more, ill do more than the very least.
Also, I started thinking of writing a twitter based iPhone app for fun. Voice activated this time. Browsed through a API called openEars which looked promising. But essentially its what i called a gimic project, i want to do it just because i can and it sparks a momentary impulse. But we'll see, it might just get shelved.
it's been two days since I've left my iPhone at home, on purpose. It's been rather liberating not having to carry around another thing. I go into work with nothing in my hands and leave with nothing in my hands - really great. Except my keys and cards - need to figure out how I can make those disappear safely but for now they are back pocket bound. Stupidly warm this tine of year and being in England in used to miserably cold and essentially miserably weather and I'm finding it quite humerous that it's good weather, weather that I've known all my life that's messing with me! I don't know how good I had it.
Silly almost pedantic thing I'm doing of late, and I'm noticing it, is consciously turning off the main switches to groups of appliances 1. before I goto bed and 2. when I go to work. My seemingly compulsive disorder here is based off the reasoning that I dont use them during these periods and these periods are between 6 and 8 hours long. So like my broadband router - I don't use that at work so why have it burning up? so I don't know other people do it but there you go, I'm a bit wiered here.
The picture is from the Isle of Man trip I did, it's off the electric railway in Douglas.
