SMART Failure Predicted
It's April 1st and I'm not fooling. Something tells me my computer isn't, either.
I resisted buying a laptop. Forever. I rationalized that I'd wait until I could buy a really, really good one.
In anticipation of a New Orleans trip two Septembers ago, to meet other writers, I bought the Sony VAIO conveying this entry. This entry's title has to do with a DOS error message I received when I booted-up this morning.
It seems Señor Sony, here, is smart enough to know to send me this message, a message that continues, "Hard Drive failure predicted. Perform immediate back-up."
Why me? Why now? After a weekend with a family crisis, my Louisville Cardinals losing their "Final Four" tournament game to the evil Lexington (KY) blue crew (Kentucky Wildcats), losing my wallet and just generally feeling cruddy, I'm not wondering what next, but... when?
Here's today's quotable profundity: Entropy is the deepest undiscovered fear in the human animal, and refused acknowledgement when episodically experienced.
My Spring Break may refer to mental health. I mean, I'm just sayin'....

My spring break was, for the first time in years, not a break(down). I am somewhat surprised, however, that a conservative Roman Catholic would say (either as his own statement or as an apparently approving quotation of someone else) that "entropy" is a fear in the human animal. Isn't the deepest meaning of your belief that there is no entropy? that there is no random variable? that all is fixed in the mind of God?
