Web 2.0!

Arguing about what precisely should qualify as Web 2.0 is like arguing about what qualifies as "Must See TV". It's all marketing and buzzwords, trying to create some cohesive singular movement out of a collection of technologies, ideas, and business models. Caring about "Web 2.0" is like caring if your Classic Caesar dressing is really "zesty" or not, like the label says. - DephexTwin from a Digg discussion.

purpose in life

i think my purpose in life is not merely to live, but to do those things that make me feel alive - that's a little bit closer

i observed a man silhouetted in the middle of the construction site praying toward Mecca
very slow and deliberate
standing up then kneeling back down to bow
he put his socks back on when he was done

it costs $10 to convert a movie you own and put it on your video ipod at Circuit City - what kind of person brings their porn to the store to have it converted?
