A Million Dollars’ Worth of Free Advice

You can find the long version by watching this rambly, chatty video, or I can just boil it down for you into the money quote at 3:07

“That’s my advice for navigating the treacherous waters of life after school. Find someone who’s doing something you want to do, better than you can do it, and listen to them.”

Just When You Think It Can’t Get Any Weirder

This serves no purpose, other than to be a not-dull way to pass 3 minutes. I guess the best way to describe it is “Gilliamesque“.

If you want a political metaphor, I guess I’d say this is the land of “Obamacare Works”.

Feel free to turn the sound down or off if it gets on your nerves. It’s all about the visuals.

It’s the Only Explanation

Now on the internet – a photo of President Obama dancing at a party on Martha’s Vineyard.

Fiddle must’ve been in the shop.

Random Thoughts: Cloud, Vox, and Hello Kitty

Dropbox is now giving me 5 times as much space for 40% less in price. Yay competition!

Until upload speeds are much higher, it’s pretty hard to switch cloud drives when you have a lot of files, though.

I notice Apple isn’t even trying to compete on cloud pricing. 55GB for $100 year – can’t see anyone but biggest Apple loyalists pay that.

Ah, the free market. We’re constantly getting better products for cheaper prices while everyone else is waiting in line for bread.

The rich keep getting richer, and all we get in exchange are these boundless luxuries at constantly lowering prices.

So what percentage of gun deaths are children firing fully automatic weapons?

You can’t assert the genders in marriage are arbitrary but the numbers involved is somehow sacrosanct.

I’m kinda digging Vox as performance art.

David Chase told me they had Tony get shot between the eyes, but camera went dead and they couldn’t reset it.

I actually only watched through season 3 of Sopranos. I guess by missing the finale I literally missed nothing.

I wish Lost had just cut to black for its entire final episode.

I have to hand it to Vox: I’ve never seen clownish nonsense presented in such an aesthetically pleasing manner.

A fun thing to do if I was a political candidate would be to never be seen without an owl on my shoulder and never answer questions about it.

The best way for the NYTimes editorial board to explain any of their political decisions would be with three words: “We’re soulless hacks.”

Hello Kitty. Goodbye Sanity.

“Hello Kitty is people! It’s made out of people! Tell the world!”

They’ll Get It Right THIS Time

A new report shows widespread timesheet fraud among US Patent Office workers who telecommute.

Say, isn’t this the same government that’s going to squeeze the waste out of healthcare?
