Macklemore tells a story about baseball and the love for his city. The memories of the game, the sawdust on the bat and the voices on the radio that might as well be gods delivering the message that any young fan dreams of. A play at the plate in extra innings to win the pennant.

“Facebook will be a highly liquid name. Perfect for High Frequency/Algorithmic Traders (HFTA). If Facebook is a huge draw for individual retail investors, HFTA Traders will see them as lambs waiting to be slaughtered. They will feast on the unwashed, unsophisticated mass of retail buyers dashing into Facebook. THey will pray that the stock skyrockets and stories of individuals making out like bandits are spread throughout the media. They will attack this stock like a pack of wolves.”

“The telecoms industry is caught up in a trap of its own making driven by a failed mental model of networks as pipes, bandwidth as the resource that is to be packaged and sold, and resource efficiency as the driver of profit. The inevitable result is that the typical telco resembles a Model T car plant (complete with QoS mine, network policy plantation and IMS steelworks), rather than a modern lean flexible manufacturing system matching resources to needs quickly and efficiently.”

QuotePosted at 8:22pm

“Ethan went to Princeton University to study philosophy - his senior thesis was “Two Views of Wittgenstein’s Later Philosophy.” Prior to graduating, Ethan left school and had to reapply for admission. But he was late in submitting his forms, prompting the school to deny re-entry. Ever the prankster, Ethan - with help from Joel - wrote a letter to the school with the wild claim that he had lost his arm in a hunting accident. The dean replied to say that he was sorry to hear about his arm and that Ethan should send a letter from his doctor saying whether or not he could attend classes. Ethan decided to push the envelope, writing a letter from the Reverend Doctor Samson Gaziorwitz of Our Lady of the Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital. The letter claimed that Ethan had also lost his legs and should be scheduled for classes close together. It went on to suggest that it would be wise for the school to warn fellow students wishing to poke fun that Ethan had “become quite adept at wielding his hooks.” (The Washington Post, Feb. 3, 1985) The school demanded that Ethan submit himself to psychological examination, which he passed with flying colors.”
