You see things; and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say, "Why not?"
George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950), "Back to Methuselah" (1921), part 1, act 1
Don't let fear convince you that you're too weak to have courage. Fear is the opportunity for courage, not the proof of cowardice.
McCain, John (2004, September). In Search of Courage: Finding the Courage Within You. FastCompany, 51-56.
In the search for character and commitment, we must rid ourselves of our inherited, even cherished biases and prejudices. Character, ability and intelligence are not concentrated in one sex over the other, nor in persons with certain accents or in certain races or in persons holding degrees from some universities over others. When we indulge ourselves in such irrational prejudices, we damage ourselves most of all and ultimately assure ourselves of failure in competition with those more open and less biased.
J. Irwin Miller, Chairman of the Board (1951-1977), Cummins Inc. From 1983 letter about diversity at the company.

An embarrassment of riches
The last couple of days have been pretty cool in my little corner of the blogosphere. On the 28th Professional-Lurker was mentioned in a post at the ever popular Moleskinerie blog. So I've had a couple of days of watching the blog stats jump as new people check out the site. If that includes you "Welcome." It's always fun to watch the stats roll up.
The yesterday I wrote a post about research sites and received a reply offering access to research data. Massively cool and amazing since the turnaround time between the post and the email is only 3.5 hours. They must be using some pretty cool aggregation and search software to have found this one little post out of the multitude of posts that mentioned them in the last few days.
Note to self: Never look a gift horse in the mouth...or maybe I should since my great aunt, the genealogist in the family, swore that we were descended from the guy who opened the gates at Troy. But that is another story.
Suffices to say that I am both pleased and flattered to have the company contact me with an offer of access. I am discussing possible research ideas with BROG members so we can take them up on their kind offer.
So as I said in the title it has been an embarrassment of riches the last few days. I wonderful happening to coincide with warm weather here. I completely plan on working outside today on campus in Indy. So if you see a redhead with a hat working on a computer in the sun...wave hello.
