\nhttp:\/\/eykd.net\/who<\/a> is pretty sweet (make sure you mouse over all the cool links in his AboutMe page), and I’ll have to check out more posts on his blog<\/a>, but I just wanted to quote this little bit to prove that techies can fall in love<\/a>, too. <\/p>\n

\nAnd then one day you’re just walking along the road, minding your own business, doing your best to ignore all the interesting things one might see (but never reach) over there, when she comes up alongside you and starts to walk with you. Before you even realize what’s happening, the two of you have fallen into easy conversation. Soon you both agree that the best idea is to continue on the next leg of this journey together.<\/p>\n

As you go on, covering the days and the miles, the landscape takes on new hues. Details emerge that you had never thought to notice before, and now she is there to see it too and confirm it. Beauty strikes from the most unlikely places, for shared experiences fill out with beauty while solitary experience can only press on forward through in a straight line, or sit and contemplate a single, solitary point.<\/p>\n

Walking together brings new beauty, new joy, new challenge to the simple arts of living. Now, if you only just had a map.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Okay, enough about that. Bed time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
