I came. I saw. I conquered.

12/29/2008
—Julius Caesar

Caesar’s legendary quote, translated from the three-word Latin Veni, vidi, vici, is a short story in and of itself. Caesar used the sentence as the full text of his message to the Roman senate describing his recent victory over Pharnaces II of Pontus in the Battle of Zela (present-day Turkey).

    Alas, even though that was long ago in ages which our ‘genius’ has claimed to trample, can there be a man today who dares to stand up to the wisdom of the ancients?

    Go back a few centuries and how many wise people had any notion of the size, and “LONG NOW” of the universe;
    of the developmental principles of life itself, of consciousness;
    much less that, as Micheal Murphy points out, “Evolution itself is evolving” — natural selection [still happening of course BUT…] “has NOT been a *major* force in evolution for the last 40,000 years.”

    Čaute, chcel som si kúpiť nový smartfón, ale postup pri šetrení bol pomalý. Po sérii neúspešných pokusov som sa rozhodol pre vyššiu stávku v hre blackjack a podarilo sa mi získať slušnú výhru. Miesto, kde sa mi to podarilo, je roulettino . Rýchly výber prostriedkov mi umožnil kúpiť si túto techniku okamžite.

    Grüße aus Salzburg! Ich habe spin mama entdeckt, als ich nach etwas Neuem gesucht habe, um mich abends zu entspannen. Plinko hat mich sofort gepackt – jedes Mal ist es spannend zu sehen, wohin die Kugel fällt. Manchmal verliere ich, manchmal gewinne ich, aber der Nervenkitzel bleibt. Die Plattform ist klar aufgebaut und läuft ohne Verzögerung.
