Engineers and programmers are the often-anonymous architects of society, and what you do now could make a huge difference to the lives of millions, even billions, of people in decades to come.

Wednesday, May 26, 2004 "welcome back, cliff."
that is what you all should be saying to me.
the cliff that you all know and love is finally back.
i've finally ditched this stage of depression and sadness and i'm back to my regular old self.... whatever that is.
i'm finally happy with what i have around me. i am once again very grateful and very aware of all the blessings i have.
i feel like i've been selfish the last few months and i've been too centered around myself to care about anybody else. now it's time to pay everyone back. my philosophy has always been "put others before yourself" and it's time to do that. i have everything i want, it's time to give something back.
i'm stronger and wiser than before. i've been through a tough time (have some understanding and you'll know how tough it was). and what doesn't kill you will only make you stronger... so i'm feeling a little bit invincible right now. i know i'm only human but i have a lot of motivation and drive right now. a couple of things that i've been lacking recently.
