Turns out there is a name for this: The Dunning-Kruger Effect. Awesome. I know this happens all the time, but now I know what to call it.

Well… that really sucks. Some guy in Serbia was drunk or drugged and some how go into a bear cage and got eaten.

I just realized this. You know you are getting old when all your favorite bands (Foo Fighters, 311, Sevendust, Garbage) start coming out with Greatest Hits Albums. Dammit. I thought I had at least a few more years. At least I still have my teeth.

Apparently, Rushdie, the author was knighted by the Queen of England, and this will bring out the wackos. Make sure and read about the last one, about the religious minister calling for Islams to strap bombs on to “protect the prophet”.

Apparently, MS has found open-source (Linux, etc.) violates some of their patents.

Awe yeah! My sweet baby and I headed to itz today for some not so good food and really fun games. After sitting in the Galaxy area, eating too much buffet food, and then puking in the bathroom, and then coming back for more (haha I joke i joke!)… we headed over to the game room. We played some games, we had some fun, and I won two iPod shuffles nearly back to back!
It was awesome because I didn’t know how to play the game since this was my first visit. But never fear because I’m always in “Smoother Mode” and I hit it with the BOOYAKAH! Take a look and enjoy these pictures as I listen to music at the same time.

This one really stuck out:
“25. Bill Gates may have a million times more money than me, but he isn’t going to live a million times longer than me, watch a million times more sunsets than me, make love to a million times more women than me, drink a million times more fine wines than me, listen to a million times more Beethoven String Quartets than me, nor sire a million times more children than me. Human beings don’t scale.”

1. Everything takes three times longer than it should. Especially the money part.
2. The best way to get approval is not to need it.

4. Once you become an entrepreneur, you find the company of non-entrepreneurs a lot harder to be around. You’ve seen things they haven’t; the wavelengths alter, it’s that simple.
5. In a world of over-supply and commodification, you are no longer paid to supply. You’re being paid to deliver something else. What that is exactly, is not always obvious.
