Movie Review: Hugo

I have to say, I thought it was going to be a different movie. It was a good story, the ending though let me down. 

It should have involved Christmas more too, it could have been a nice theme. 

Due to my running a half marathon earlier in the day, the movie did let me get a 30 minute nap in the middle.

So I’m going to have to say this is a wait for video, or skip type of movie.

I want to have more sex, travel more, drink more wine and love life.

I don’t think I’m alone when I say I’d like to see more and more planets fall under the ruthless domination of our solar system.
Jack Handey, “Deep Thoughts”
Why do we never meet anyone nice?”

Ted Talk: Jay Bradner: Open-source cancer research

We all know someone that has or had cancer. I love the concept here in open sourcing this information, to spur competition for the later stages of this.

Every aspect of the internet is now run by some component of open source base code, yet Google, Facebook and Amazon are all making a nice profit by continuing to contribute to these open source models.

Where should we be if nobody tried to find out what lies beyond? Have you never wanted to look beyond the clouds and stars, to know what causes trees to bud and what changes darkness into light? But if you talk like that people call you crazy…
Henry Frankenstein, “Frankenstein” (1932)

Ted Talk: Malcolm Gladwell: The strange tale of the Norden bombsight

A planet doesn’t explode of itself,” said dryly The Martian Astronomer, gazing off into the air: “That they were able to do it is proof that highly Intelligent beings must have been living there.
