X-Files Pilot
(This is from when Scully and Mulder first meet.)
SCULLY: Do you have a theory?
MULDER: I have plenty of theories.
(He walks over to her.)
Maybe what you can explain to me is why it’s bureau policy to label these cases as “unexplained phenomenon” and ignore them. Do you believe in the existence of extraterrestrials?
(He whispers the last few words eerily and she smiles.)

/excelamktg: Miru8691 - A Burger At Its Best →
excelamktg:
Last night, the /excelamktg team had the most amazing dinner at Miru8691, a new client of ours. Tucked away in the corner of a strip mall in Beverly Hills, the place is hard to find but is so worth the struggle. Once we walked in and saw the eclectic vibe, we knew we were in for a great…

An Awesome Quote from The Social Network
Napster wasn’t a failure. I changed the music industry for better and for always. It may not have been good business but it pissed a lot of people off. And wasn’t that what your Facemash was about? They’re scared of me, pal, and they’re gonna be scared of you. What the VC’s want is to say, “Good idea, kid. The grown-ups’ll take it from here.” But not this time. This is our time. This time you’re...

Lyrics for a Song in Need of Notes
When I come to hang out with y’all and listen to your bullshit
You people don’t notice but I keep planting flowers you trample
This invincible will that cries out in angry voice like a child left alone
We hear that angry voice crying out til the walls of dry stone crumble
Your souls have all forgotten and my music falls on ears of mud and tar.
Technology’s made you get used...

It's Sunny in LA Today
I think LA can be totally walkable if you live and work in either Santa Monica, Westwood, or in Downtown LA. Any thoughts on other walkable parts of LA?

Right After Health Care Reform Becomes Law
Insurers can’t deny to kids with pre-existing conditions.
Children can stay on parents insurance ‘til they are 26.
Insurers can’t drop individual plans if they are sick.

A Machiavellian View of Projects
Stage One: Enthusiasm

Stage Six: Praise and Honors for the Non-Participants
It doesn’t have to be this way. The solution is found in answering the question:
What are people, really?

Gloria Larson, president of Bentley University and #1 most powerful woman in Boston, was recently interviewed about her career.
My advice to others would be: Don’t get caught up in just what your head tells you in an analytical way about your career. Be really open to following things that are aspirational for you - and bring real meaning to what you’re doing.
Q: If you were just...

About Huckleberry Finn
“Huckleberry came and went, at his own free will… he did not have to go to school or to church, or call any being master or obey anybody… he could sit up as late as he please… he could swear wonderfully. In a word, everything that goes to make life precious, that boy had.”
from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, page 48
from Simulacra and Simulation
The simulacrum is never what hides the truth - it is truth that hides the fact that there is none.
The simulacrum is true.
