Do-over

What if you could go back to this morning and try again... what would you do differently?

Xmastime > Fischer ???

Xmastime vs Apple Chess (2009) : MultiPawn Gambit, Accepted

Xmastime proves his skills by demonstrating why the MultiPawn Gambit is invariably doomed.

White to move...

Fischer vs Minic (1968) : King's Gambit, Accepted

Minic just moved his bishop to h3.

White to move. Now without a doubt I'd move the Rook on f1 to somewhere safe, like f2, right?

That's why I'm not Bobby Fischer... watch what he did here.

Barclay's Hates Highlights

Trying to find online video highlights of Tottenham vs Man City is like buying drugs. You need to go to all sorts of seedy (website) hangouts, and then you have this "Oh man, I hope I dont get busted" feeling while you're there.

What devastating consequences would the Premier League suffer if football fans were able to go to the Barclay's website and watch highlights of their favorite teams?

I imagine the league would crumble instantly.

Eventually I always get my fix. Usually the the announcers are speaking in Korean or Estonian, and the quality is reminiscent of the dreaded RealPlayer via a 56K modem back in the 90s. But there she be, my sweet highlights. Ahhhh.

This is how Barclay's wants it. This is Barclay's online marketing strategy. Maybe they're more genius than I give them credit, bc/ to be honest, as much as it makes me resent them... it does make me want to watch more.

And maybe if I had gotten a really crisp, clean and pure online highlight fix this week, when next week rolled around, instead of watching the final game vs Liverpool, I'd just be content to wait until next season. Yes Barclay's, that sounds about right.

Another BSOTD With A Dog Theme...

I saw this one today... if I see another dog bumper sticker, I will be sure to let you know.

I was reminded of this great book today...

Does The Center Hold, by Donald Palmer

This is the best intro philosophy book I have ever read, it brings the subject down to a simple level without being condescending... and it even has funny pictures!

I dont agree with him, but the boy was clever when he said:

Nothing exists.

Testament

Yesterday I took over the day to day maternal responsibilities, and today I am completely worn out. As in, I think I need a day off. So hats off to you baby, and Thanks A Million for everything you do!

The Death Star vs Star Trek's Enterprise

I am definitely going to see the Star Trek movie, but as a lifelong Star Wars fan, I am loving this:

Survival of the Fittest... Information?

If information required anything to ensure its immediate survival, it would likely be these two things: first, it must be considered useful. Second, it must be findable. In the rapidly growing information environment, unidentified and unorganized content, however useful it may be, is at risk being rendered unfindable, and thus obsolete.

May 1st, 2008

One year ago today, I sold my business. Wow. I better get a move on...

You plan, it happens.

My uncle coined the phrase, "You plan, it happens."

I'm slowly learning that...

Plan It. Do It. Fix It. Done.

... is better than ...

Do It, Fix It. Do It, Fix It. Do It, Fix It. Do It, Fix It. Do It, Fix It. Do It, Fix It. Do It, Fix It. Done.
