Lūcēbint tū domus ducō

We had a cook-out last night, for the deaf ministry. It was fun, poor Zipper had to give rides all night. He's such a good horse.

I find myself here again, in nearly the same place as I stood 6 months ago. Weeks have passed, bringing changes, good and bad.
Phases have come and gone, blogging seemingly one of them. I remain on my promise to myself that I won't allow my blog to become just another speck of cyberspace, that I won't allow it to slowly die, less and less posts with less interest as time passes.
As my knowledge grows, as does my interests in different things I may have found uninteresting in the past. For example, a year ago I had little understanding of coding and how it affects things I see daily. I understood not how websites were created, what HTML&CSS were, past the obvious.
I find a growing interest in such things. It is addicting to me to upload pictures, spend hours typing up coding, testing, erasing, starting over. I find that instead of many letters and numbers jumbled up into a page of random text, I understand bits and peices of said text, more and more as I study and learn from people greater than I.
I feel an enticing call toward the greatest art of them all, where one walks through solid walls, stands upon nothing, runs into the ground and back again. I find that the more I search, the more I understand that this art of bending iron, of breaking diamonds is much, much more than a "geek", a "nerd" occupation of choice.. it is an art of the highest form. Ask one to explain this form of magic, of slide of the hand, trick of the eye, and you recieve little. Understand for yourself...you can go as far as exists. Farther.
Hacking is much more than an evil hobby, the devil's habit. It is nothing more, nothing less than what you make of it. You can go as far as you want, if you only let your mind encompass itself arounf the impossible idea of infinity.
Ask questions. Ask questions of the answers, of those answers, of those answers. Ask until you have dug a subject to its deepst point, where one dares to go no further. Learn from those wiser than you, so you may become wiser than than them.
You can expect to go little further than clicking links and typing if you do not ask, you do not explore. There is infinate information. Everything has a story to tell, all created things can be learned from. When you feel you have learned all you can, go beyond what your mind can imagine, reach into the murky depths of the unknown, and learn from ignorance itself.
