silence

Sometimes all the right words will slip through the silence, but this quote says it all..

"who doesn't understand your silence will never understand your words"

It carries so much meaning and the timing couldn't be more profound.. So for all those who will never understand the words spoken between the silence.. My heart goes out to you..

Maybe time to say goodbye

I've put a lot of hard work into some of my projects, but recently I've had to start realizing that the things I once loved are simply a lost cause.  Nothing is final in life, but slowly I must move on to the things in life which not only take time, but also give reward.  In the coming days I must decide what to do with this blog.. If anyone cares ping me to let me know..

Jonathan Schwartz cuts his ponytail

(I'm making all of this up.. maybe someone finds it funny)

Source close to Jonathan Schwartz have leaked that part of the IBM deal is contingent on him getting the key role as IBM EVP of Stategy For Open Source Monetization.  What they haven't told you is that IBM has *already* agreed to this, but with the stipulation that he must meet IBM style and dress code standards.  The unspoken truth is that they know all his open source powers lie in the magical ponytail.  Frankly, I wish he'd just donate it to help a cancer patient and then everyone can shut up and go back to work.. (oopse that last line wasn't funny I suppose)

"When I take on a new problem is that I'm not interested in how it's been done before. I only want to know, of all the constraints people tend to assume, which ones are actually fundamental and which ones are just habit?"

Windows Vista users rejoice - Vista laptop of the year

Well.. to start I must fairly say I've never used Vista.. So a lot of this is pure speculation and based on how excited the laptop owner or reviewer appeared to be..

Kick em while they're down.. :)

I openly do not like and border on hating Starbucks..
