I’m currently the high bidder on eBay for a package of 48 Cadbury Creme Eggs. Despite being only a seasonal thing, Cadbury Creme Eggs are my all time favorite candy. I’m sick today and I don’t really like the thought of food, but I have an inexplicable desire to eat at least 9 or 10 Cadbury Eggs. Maybe I’m pregnant?

Dan is someone I really respect, I’ve had a perpetual lump in my throat all day. Quality versus quantity, I’m so frustrated thinking of how much more work needs to be done. The quality isn’t even close to what I had in mind when we launched nor is our content up to par.

Fix Your Face
Travis Barker’s covers of Soulja Boy and Flo Rida are awesome too.
A great explanation of the purpose of the LHC (which will be turned on for the first time tomorrow morning CET).
Here’s hoping the world doesn’t implode.
Mental Note
When I write a speech meant to inspire support from a large group of people, I should position the arguments like this: First, state my opponent’s position and why it is bad and quickly transition into my position and why it is good. If I use this format, the audience can cheer in response to my position … If I reverse the argument order, I’ll leave a pause for audience response...

Hemingway once wrote a story in just six words (“For sale: baby shoes, never worn.”) and is said to have called it his best work.
