It's amazing that a weeks worth of time feels like an eternity.The original fire has died and gone,but the riot inside moves on.Check out this new Audioslave single entitled Original Fire here.

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

All this worldly wisdom was once the unamiable heresy of some wise man.Henry David Thoreau

I think i just might have to catch Oakenfold in SF at the Fillmore this upcomming Friday. We'll see if I decide to be spontaneous, catch a plane to the bay area, and run a muck.

Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.Sir Winston Churchill

This is an excellent article on "The MySpace problem," it even goes far enough to quote Jobs on the design of the iPod (quoted below).

Most people make the mistake of thinking design is what it looks like... People think it's this veneer - that the designers are handed this box and told, 'Make it look good!' That's not what we think design is. It's not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.Steve Jobs

Okay by far, this has to be THE coolest fan website EVER! Someone has decided that they should make a site where women that make replicas of the imfamous Princess Leia Metal Bikini from Jedi, and then they take pictures of themselves in the replica costume and submit them to the site! I never knew this could be a possibility. Come on women in bikini's that like Star Wars? Absolutely amazing.

And many more jihad's in your future years here on this earth!

If your company is forcing the entire company to use Windows Communicator, and shutting down all Instant Messaging services, via port blocking. This isn't a bad thing, so far it seems Windows Communicator is a really well done enterprise instant messaging client/server application. Especially the perks of Communicator integrating with Outlook 2003. Beyond that, I thought it would be a great prank/joke to cycle through all of the different statuses that a user could set him or herself to. Of course this wouldn't be as funny if you couldn't do it like once every 2 seconds!! Can I get a WITNESS for COM and the CLR? AMEN.Download the project source all zipped up here, or the release binary here.

Another great song from Dashboard Confessional. It really hits home.Artist: Dashboard ConfessionalAlbum: Dusk and SummerTitle: Stolen

You watch the season pull up its own stageAnd catch the last weekendOf the last weekBefore the gold and the glimmer have been replacedAnother sun soaked seasonFades awayYou have stolen my heartYou have stolen my heartInvitation only, grand farewellsCrash the best oneOf the best onesClear liqour andCloudy eyeToo early to say goodnightYou have stolen my heartYou have stolen my heartAnd from the bottle flow, we are in celebrationOne good stretch before our hibernationOur dreams are sureAnd we all will sleep wellWe'll sleep wellYou have stolenYou have stolen myYou have stolen my heartI watch you spin aroundIn the highest heelsYou are the best oneOf the best onesWe all look like we feelYou have stolen myYou have stolen myYou have stolen my heart
