My favorite quotes
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950), Man and Superman (1903) "Maxims for Revolutionists"
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.

AutoBlogger
Ahhh I think this is a joke? Ahhh but then again...who knows. Check out the video's and testimonials. Pretty amusing for a Monday morning. Check out the AutoBlogger site.
Ten Top Reasons to Switch
1. Autoblogger. It works, so you don't have to.
Consider how much time you spend on each entry, painstakingly crafting columns complete with appropriate links, accompanying photos, etc. Just think - now clever and witty updates are just a click away!
2. Blogging hot chicks, or bagging hot chicks?
There are only 24 hours in a day. You decide.
3. Frees up your hands for more, ah, "important" things.
*cough*
4. No compromise between your hit count and your Battle.net rating.
Why force yourself to play favorites? AutoBlogger is the ultimate tool for egalitarian time management on the web.
5. More time to go out on dates.
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAA. Yeah, right. Moving on...
6. Add your voice to the futile protest against George Bush.
Because you know, if you whinge about him enough just maybe he'll cease to exist from the sheer force of your will. Can't hurt to try, right? Not that you lot need to be encouraged. AutoBlogger will quickly and efficiently put together your political profile and post accordingly; bashing those right-wing soulless fascists or those tree-hugging communist potheads depending on your own personal leanings.
7. Take a vacation.
Hop on a plane and jet off to one of those exclusive resorts that now charge money not to come equipped with 'net access and phone lines. Take a break and get away! Not that you really work anyhow since you spend all your time online, but whatever.
8. #2 and #5 failing, at the very least you'll have more nightly pr0n time.
Lame.
9. Publish academic papers that you never would have been able to write on your own!
One of the benefits of being able to pick which entries AutoBlogger culls for information is that you can choose a sampling of posts which make you sound much more interesting, innovative, and clever than you actually are. In the interest of preserving what AutoBlogger perceives to be such brilliant insight on your part, it utilizes a function much like The Postmodernism Generator to make you sound deep and intellectual.
10. More time to dream up stupid internet pranks.
Because we all know your main goal in life is to attract the attention of the blogosphere in a pathetic attempt to be /.'ed.
You have a life. AutoBlogger helps you live it.™
