So... the never ending chain of technological breakthroughs have reached the point in time where it is now extremely (too?) easy, for those who deem themselves worthy, to share their thoughts with the world. While it may be valuable for some to share, it is less likely valuable for those who read. Personally I am going to use this blog simply as a sounding board, and practice, for future, more traditional, writings. Welcome.
If you are seeking the meaning of life (or computations) you can check out the "younger brother's" comments at stevefredlund.blogspot.com. However, if you would like to explore further the black-box-output of a right sided Fredlund's brain...stick around. Comments always welcome.
Content: Isn't it unfortunate that the human race can adapt to almost any situation? While we have the capability to alter our surroundings in any way imaginable - we don't. How many of you are, right now, reading this white on black-background posting, with an intensely light colored wall, or worse (like me) a bright window behind the screen? Why did I place this monitor here, instead of on the other corner of the desk? Habit? Fear of the IT staff? I've always had it here? I dunno?
I believe it is because our bodies have so quickly adapted without benefit of thought. Take the time to realize where you are sitting, what you are doing, and what in your environment you could change that would make every day after this one more comfortable, productive, enjoyable, etc. Right now, do something as simple as moving one item, shutting the blinds, painting a wall, removing one item, cleaning off the clutter. There, that is one room. Now be aware of your surroundings at all time. What can you modify for your benefit, and the benefit of everyone else who may be in that setting in the future?
My tired, contact laden, eyes are already enjoying a break. By writing this blog, I became aware of my environment, and altered it by lowering the blinds. Not only do we allow our bodies to adapt to a bad situation, we encourage it by taking headache pills! Improve the world, don't adapt.
Now what to do about that pesky highway just outside my window?

Well, bro, you have now entered the blog world with me. I trust your readers and contributors will enjoy their right-brained commentary and discussion. Together we will try to change the world rather than adapting to its problems. Have fun!
You are not keeping up with the Jones's... let's hear some more commentary on change vs. adaptation.
