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.

Sifry says Technorati is tracking 80,000 new blogs per day
David Sifry has a great post on the growth of the blogosphere at State of the Blogosphere, August 2005, Part 1: Blog Growth. One of the things he says is that Technorati is tracking 80,000 new blogs each day, on average of course.
He comments:
Moblogging sites like Textamerica and Buzznet have also been growing as well, as more people are blogging from their camera-enabled mobile phones.Both of these sites are visual blogging from a cell phone, both still and video. I'm wondering if the mobile audio blog has disappeared from English language sites? A few years ago there were several sites that would allow bloggers to call in and leave audio blog entries but I haven't found a single one of late. If anyone knows where an audioblog site, in English, is available please let me know.
I so wish we had good stats on how many of that 80,000 are first time bloggers and how many are new blogs from those that have had at least one previously. Of course I always want more stats, I need them for both my quant and qual work so there are just never enough. Here is Sifry's statistical summary for his post.
Summary:
- Technorati was tracking over 14.2 Million weblogs, and over 1.3 billion links in July 2005
- The blogosphere continues to double about every 5.5 months
- A new blog is created about every second, there are over 80,000 created daily
- About 55% of all blogs are active, and that has remained a consistent statistic for at least a year
- About 13% of all blogs are updated at least weekly
