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.

End Piracy, Not Liberty
To imagine that anyone would support "Piracy" is quite outrageous. But where exactly is the line to be drawn - that is even more interesting.
Long before the internet came into play people have "copied" copy righted materials to share with their friends. Sure it was illegal to do so back then (as it is today), but for some reason it

Good Bye 2011
Like most years, 2010 had it's good times and bad. But for some reason it feels like '10 had more of the not-so-good ones compared to the good.
In any case, now that it's almost over

A Word
A careless word may kindle strife,
A cruel word may wreck a life,
A bitter word may hate instill;
A brutal word may smite and kill,
A gracious word may smooth the way,
A joyous word may light the day,
A timely word may lessen stress;
A loving word may make it best.

Short Term Memory
I got in my car forgetting completely about the coffee I put down on the top. Luckily, just as I was about to pull out of the parking spot, I reached for my coffee and found it missing. Took me a few seconds before I recalled where I had left it :o(
