Damn. So I guess this means that UNC = Zombies.

Fuckin' A.

"Question 5: How many FireWire devices can be connected at any one time?

"Answer: Fire Wire can work with up to 63 devices on a bus. The number of bus-powered devices you can connect depends on the amount of power available from the computer, and the amount of power required by each device." LIES!

"Here's how I see it: If you really want to be a team front-office executive, you are better off spending your summer internship not fetching coffee for a team or leading stats-oriented Web site. Start your own and own the hell out of some segment of analysis. Post daily, post brilliantly, gently pass your stuff around to folks in media who would appreciate it. If it's good — and if you're not good, you might as well not even try — the teams will notice. There is no barrier (at least no publishing barrier) to becoming your own expert and putting your talent on display. THAT is the fast track."

"I’ll go so far as to predict that by the time Monday April 5 rolls around, it’ll already be an established meme that non-iPad-optimized iPhone apps are to the iPad what Classic apps were to Mac OS X — something you’ll make do with 'for now' but can’t wait to abandon for the real thing."

There's nothing like posting on a three-year-old entry to make a friend laugh.

"Finally, that one of the simplest of diseases managed to utterly confound us for so long, at the cost of millions of lives, even after we had stumbled across an unequivocal cure. It makes you wonder how many incurable ailments of the modern world – depression, autism, hypertension, obesity – will turn out to have equally simple solutions, once we are able to see them in the correct light. What will we be slapping our foreheads about sixty years from now, wondering how we missed something so obvious? "

I now want to visit Mike and Kari.

Need to contemplate how we can use this…

I have been considering the switch myself.

Holy. Shit.
