Columbia University Janitor Graduates With Honors

First heard this story on NPR over the weekend - a week ago. It really caught my attention and meant to make a note of it - but, big surprise, I forgot :( When the story was repeated this morning, it felt like "it" somehow reminding me that I had forgotten.

Oscar '05

No, Sideways didn't win the Best Picture award :o( I didn't really believe it had a real shot, even a long shot, at winning. But the fact that it WAS nominated had sparked the tiniest of hope in me that maybe, just maybe, an Indy Film would win the coveted Academy Award.

But instead, Clint Eastwood's Million Dollar Baby won it..

When you assume, you make an ass out of u and me. ~ Oscar Wilde

It's really funny - I heard this quote twice tonite. Once on Larry Crowne and a second time on Girls, the new series on HBO.

Facebook Acquires instagram for a Billion Dollar

First off, congrats to the "instagram" team. I have been using the app on my iPhone since October '11. As a matter of fact, instagram was one of the reasons I have been wanting to update / upgrade to the new iPhone 4S.

But I have to admit that this is causing me to pause and think. They have developed this app, this most awesome app with about a dozen employees in about a year and a half and has $0 in revenue - all of a sudden they are valued at $1B.
