Nap time

Sometimes the best way to attack a problem is to ignore it for a while. Sneak up on it from a different angle.  Heck, take a nap and let your subconscious mull it over for a while.  

And sometimes you don't have a problem, but the nap is still welcome.  

Today was such a day.

I spent some time arranging and putting away things upstairs.  Legos, hot wheels, trains, a blanket fort, a doll house, and a bunch of Christmas decorations were moved more or less to where they belonged, or at least closer to where they should be.  We now have floor space where there was once a quagmire of toys.

Actually I did have a conundrum to work my way through.  I'm doing some learning on neural networks and was running into a problem on how to represent nodes in the best way.  I hacked together a couple of things this morning, but wasn't pleased with the results.  It was during my mulling over period (the aforementioned nap on the couch) that I devised a good way to do this.  So remember, kids - that person you see at their desk with their eyes closed may not be resting, but solving the worlds problems.  Don't disturb them.

Today's dinner was leftovers.  Over the course of the week we normally accumulate dibs and drabs of stuff that are not large enough to prepare for a meal, but if you add them all together you can get a meal out of them.
