Wonder and Awe

When was the last time you looked through a telescope (and for all of you dirty people out there, not that way)

I just came in from looking at a beautiful crescent moon through my dad's old telescope. And old does not necessarily mean bad in this case. It was just amazing. You can see all the seas (aka craters) and the edge of the shadow of the Earth is cool as well.

If you haven't hit up the planetarium since you were like 10, may I HIGHLY recommend finding one locally - they often have nights that are open to the public. Or take a class at the local community college. Or heck, buy a pair of binoculars and go crazy (again, not that kind of crazy). I can assure you a moment of total wonder and awe.

But bring the bugspray.

Bike Widow Quote

So I stumbled onto a new blog today - Bike Widow - it looks like it just started but I found the following quote hilarious

Sometimes, talking sense to a man who bikes is like nailing jell-0 to a tree.

You can replace the word 'bikes' with just about anything and it holds true

Now if only I could find a biking man

Death in the backyard

There is a hawk swooping down on my back yard trying to catch something - and since it is probably something that keeps trying to eat my plants, I approve.

Therw is sometimes I really love living in Ann Arbor

Credit Quote

This is from one book I really enjoyed reading called Not Buying It - a good read to understand why working is how it is now a days

Consumer Credit resolves a fundamental dilemma of capitalism - how to pay workers as little as possible while making sure they can buy as much as possible - p32.

Work Quotes

Somethings I came up or read with and had written on a post-it that I feel needs more permanence

My workload should not be dictated by my desk's proximity to the person handing out the work. (my own thought)

Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you want.

Brick walls are there for a reason - they let us prove how badly we want things.

Wait long enough and people will surprise and impress you. When you are pissed off at somebody and are angry at them you just haven't given them enough time (not so sure this is actually true :P )

Don't Bail - the best of the gold is at the bottom of the crap
