too funny not to pass on.

Should have posted a couple weeks ago ...

Thievery Corporation - The Cosmic Game
Dubtribe Sound System - Baggage
Adani & Wolf - Adani & Wolf
The dZihan & Kamien Orchestra - Live in Vienna
Saint Germain - Lounge

All pretty sweet, however I thought the dZihan & Kamien would have a little more variation from their orignals.

I could pracically rename this blog "Rigor Mortis" :(

Well, the fact is that I have been incredibly busy both at work and at outside. I was already reasonably busy working on opensolaris, and now I am set to contribute some time to the development of roller which is used by blogs.sun.com. Lately I have had enough to do that I will often forget to even check my personal email during the day ... sheesh.

On top of the chaos at work I am still juggling therapy sessions for my knee, figure drawing at ccsf, and of course there is The Madness, which brought me to Las Vegas last weekend for some fun.

I'll try and keep a more steady pace moving forward though.

I uploaded about 30 new drawings from the previous weeks of class. You can check them out in the gallery starting with this one.

We all know we say it ... "There just isn't enough time in the day", "If only the days were longer", and "I need more time!" Even though your boss and employer really don't want you thinking about it, you must wonder from time to time if the 40 hour work week is a little too much?

If you do a little math and consider just the parts of your day that you contribute to essential living activities, like sleeping, eating, working, etc, then I figure my typical day constitutes nearly 20 hours. Now about 2 of those hours are commute time which sucks, but not at all uncommon. The days of the 10 minute commute are gone, at least most likely if you live here in the Bay Area.

So 20 out of 24 hours assuming I get a full nights sleep (8 hours) and spend some time on the basics, showering, eating a few meals a day, and of course my 8 hours of work. That's 83% of my time each day, gone.

We all know that those numbers get fudged here and there so we can try and make more time for ourselves. We either sleep less, eat fast food, or even telecommute nowadays. But the question still remains, in a society where a lot of people believe family time is losing to work time, are we really being overworked? I mean, who was it that decided that it should cost you 40 hours a week to earn your lifestyle, why not 30? Would a 6 hour work day provide society as a whole a better opportunity to reestablish a good family life?
