Injustice...


I've never emailed a legislator or senator or prez bush on anything before, largely because I never thought it would make any difference...or didn't feel emotionally compelled to do it. But this was just outrageous, and I've emailed every relevant govt official in Georgia to complain.

Please check out: WilsonAppeal.com. And read the article in: ESPN.

And here's the scary part. Given this type of things happen in the US, what happens in China and Russia must be a thousand times worse...


Lastly, I learned about this issue from my least favourite NBA team owner, Mark Cuban. =)

ZZZZZZZ

I don't know what it is, but since moving to NYC, I've had trouble sleeping... At the first place I lived, which was an older, walk-up building, I suspected it was because it was too noisy... But since I moved to a newer, quiter building, things haven't really improved.

I have no trouble falling asleep, in fact that happens within minutes. But my issue is that I wake up too early, at around 6 or 5:30... and then I try and force myself to sleep until 8...(or 7:20 on days I have early meetings). (It feels almost like I'm taking a red-eye every night!) As we all know, anything forced is not that great... So if anyone out there is an expert on sleeping, and especially skilled at staying asleep, holler at me!

Ok, end of whining, off to dinner!

What $1.2 Trillion Can Buy

The human mind isn’t very well equipped to make sense of a figure like $1.2 trillion. We don’t deal with a trillion of anything in our daily lives, and so when we come across such a big number, it is hard to distinguish it from any other big number. Millions, billions, a trillion — they all start to sound the same.

ok, christmas day.
i'm moving my blog over from msn spaces. it's a major pain in the ass to move blogs around, and you have to be really compelled to do so. well, i'm moving because 1) I only have 4 posts anyway! 2) because you have to have a windows live ID in order to comment on blogs, what a crock o' shite! i like microsoft more than google (now that I'm no longer working at microsoft i feel much more allegiance to it.... seriously!), but i can't deal with their commenting restrictions. i'll still use their Office and Windows tho. Actually, I'm still trying to get a hacked version of Vista to work, does anyone know how?
