bonus points to you if you can figure out where that photo at the top of the post was taken.......

logorrhea

as i have said in the last few posts, i have been all over the country with work, and haven't had much time to myself, or much time to dedicate to this blog, which is rather unfortunate, in my opinion. (although yours my be quite the opposite).

one of the things that i love about my job, is that i get paid to learn. i also get paid to see some of the best presenters and performers from around the planet.

i have been compiling a list of things that have caught my eye/ear over the last few months. some of them are inspirational quotes, and other are quite the reverse, ie. silly things that people have said. other bits are just interesting words or phrases. in any case - here they are for your enjoyment. (or lack of)......

GOOD QUOTES

"when the fire dies down, the predators come in"

"i want to be the person my dog thinks i am"

"be kind to the idiot, because in someone else's eyes, YOU are the idiot"

"don't measure your life by the number of breaths you TAKE, but by the moments that take your breath AWAY."


_________________________________________________________________________

BAD QUOTES

"what's that little box sitting on the mouse pad?" - (asked in reference to a mouse)

"do any of you read the internet?"

"growing like and absolute train"

"my mouse hand is stupid today"

"if you get a chance, see if you can spend some time with dick"

"some of the kids were REALLY poor. many of them had never even seen a TV screen larger than 19 inches"

WORDS and PHRASES

"emotional firewall"

Kaizen

biometrics


this next word came to mind when i was thinking about the ambiguity of a word that a presenter used one day, and all of the different definitions of that word.

the word set has more definitions than any other word in the english language, and because of this is really fascinating to me.


here are the runners-up :

RUN - 396
GO - 368
TAKE - 343
STAND - 334
GET - 289
TURN - 288
PUT - 268
FALL - 264
STRIKE - 250

and this link is what you get when you type the word "set" directly into the address bar in firefox.

that's about it for stuff that stuck with me over the last couple of months.

and simply because i need to spread the infection........



yes. i know.

work, work, work

crazy busy right now. hardly have time to breathe. been on the road for two weeks, and my last stay at home only lasted a day and a half, after having been away for a week. i am going to be home for a single day this weekend, then i am gone again for another 11 days. so please forgive the sparse nature of my postings...... the above image is called "camera ape", simply because the guy in the image seems to resemble some sort of simian with the movements he is making. i have been working at a government technology conference this week, and there are a few things that got me excited over the last day or so.... yahoo pipes free knowledge wikinomics, and its' associated facebook group and because i am always hungry for new information, i am almost OBSESSED with this site hope you find at least ONE of these links to be of interest to you.......
