Steve Jobs, you made the world a better place. RIP Steve was an forward thinker and a business leader who believed in what he was doing. He not only knew ‘this product’ would change the world, but he knew he was going to be the one to build it. That sounds elementary, but how many times did we have ideas we didnt follow up with. I have a short list of them. It takes not only the...

Guilt and the US Postal Service
wow - US Postal Service looks to cut 120,000 workers & benefits. I feel a little guilty as for the past two decades I have been pushing for email to replace standard postal mail. I have formed a very profitable business off electronic communication. I wonder if this is how the early car dealerships felt when the horse and buggy industry folded?

Brothels in Chile
Not saying i dont like who i am. I love me. But if i had the power, i would have been a Kennedy - Newly released 1961 FBI memo claims Ted Kennedy sought to rent brothel in Chile.
I hope all you enjoy your pagan holiday.
Drunk & naked Romans celebrated the feast of Lupercalia (the first Valentine’s day) by sacrificing a goat and whipping women with the hides.
This also included a matchmaking lottery. Men drew the names of women from a large jar. The lucky lady would then ‘couple-up’ with the man who drew her name for the duration of the festival. If the match worked out well it may last a...

important birthday note
I Just found a dated post-it-note stuck to the corner of my old computer monitor, “important birthday resolution for 2003: this year be nicer to the weak mortals in your life.”
WOW - I knew i forgot to do something that year (and the years to follow). Maybe this nice thing should be my goal this year?
… Nah, im sure they are use to it by now. I dont want to confuse them or...

Mother's day (my mothers day, not yours)
I wonder if mother enjoyed her yearly neo-pagan event: dancing for the return of the horn to the Wiccan god of drink? Or, maybe she took a year off? Probably not. I mean, why would one want to pass up on such a rich and historic ritual. I know i sure dont. #pagannakeddancingisourthing
