Heh. I think I'm not super competitive (but boy howdy, do I like to be right) because....I don't like to be wrong. So I solve the problem by not investing.
Um, I'm sure I've been told, but what are Underwear Gnomes?
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Thanksgiving is going to rock.
IJS.

My in-laws are board games fiends. Thanksgiving and Christmas, out come the Aggrivation board. Once I decided to bypass sending someone back to the beginning in order to get farther along the board, and you'd think I'd just shot the dog. The point wasn't to win but to make sure somebody else didn't win.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

If I weren't on Blackberry I'd google the "blood is life" speech and sub in Scrabble.
OK, this reminds me of a thing I've been thinking about: How people's internet use is going in two totally different directions -- "everyone" has broadband, so we want websites with videos on them and shit, but at the same time, "everyone" is getting Blackberries and whatnot, so they want stripped down sites. Am I right about this? What is The Industry doing about it?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Instead of filling in an org chart in a pathetic imitation of a critical path thingy for my project management class.

Go stripped down!

Thank you. No cable (see above) so I see why I would fly over my head.

Hence the quotes around "everyone." I meant the "everyone" that most designers design for.
