Self Documentation

started documenting my life for the past 2 days - seems very fruitful - I have my reasons for doing it - [1] too many thoughts to store in memory ( my crappy, f**ked up memory ) - [2] missing too many interesting ideas - [3] mostly, remembering what happened yesterday, day before... - [4] looking for a pattern to predict future [5] reading bout the past days makes me feel better about myself - AFTER EFFECT : came up with 3 new, crazy ideas [1] Self-organizing, On-demand hotspots for extending wifi coverage area [2] Mapping wifi coverage area to geographical map [3] Snack Machine - this is not a revolutionary idea but its a cool and exciting idea - keeps me motivated - hope to write more soon - EOF
