Paul Buchheit: What to do with your millions:

Many people with jobs have a fantasy about all the amazing things they would do if they didn’t need to work. In reality, if they had the drive and commitment to do actually do those things, they wouldn’t let a job get in the way.

illinoisairship:

Kids are intuitive, logical and sometimes wise completely unintentionally. The other day, I was taking care of Katie, who is a little strawberry haired goofball who looks like a mini-princess version of Prince Harry. She’s four and a half, but sweet on this kid she goes to kindergarten with. “Do you have a girlfriend?” she asked. “Nope.” I said deciding it would be impossible to put “I recently had my heart broken and so I’m a little wary of girls and since from a biological standpoint being gay isn’t an option I’m gonna go ahead and be alone for awhile.” in terms she would understand. Later during our walk through Logan Square she said, “There will always be pretty girls who want to be with you.” Holy shit. Have you ever gotten a there-are-plenty-of-fish-in-the-sea talk from a four and a half year old? It’s the only time I ever believed it.

Leaving Tumblr.

Fri, 27 Mar 2009 02:59:33 -0500

As evidenced by my lack of posts recently, this blog has sort of fallen out of favor with me for a number of reasons—namely becuase I’m just too busy. I’ve also decided that tumblr isn’t doing the job for me for worldwithoutwww.com. Sometime over the next couple weeks I’ll be migrating w5 back to my hosting.

Always good advice.

There's Nothing Better in This World Than Economists Giving Love Advice:

Scenario one: the woman is a rational self-interested agent. If she regarded a free dinner as sufficient compensation for the time she had to spend in your company, then a “thank you” would be a simple way of securing a repeat of the experience.

Oh brother…

FX-550, Horntones’ patented system, is the world’s first and only MP3-enabled vehicle horn.

Yes, it means exactly what you think it means.

For someone who has this tattoo, it isn’t often I get to say, “This is the geekiest conversation I’ve had all day” after 6 pm.

Upcoming Supreme Court Cases

Mon, 26 Jan 2009 22:15:49 -0600

Upcoming Supreme Court Cases:

Agreed to clarify how long a suspected criminal’s request for a lawyer during police interrogation should be valid. The court will hear the state of Maryland’s appeal of a decision throwing out child molester Michael Shatzer’s confession. Shatzer asked for a lawyer almost three years before admitting to the abuse.

This is going to be interesting.

mareen:

over a period of three months the photographer simon høgsberg (yea, it’s that “we’re all gonna die, 100 meters of existence” guy) stopped 150 strangers on the street and asked them what they were thinking before he stopped them.
