My favorite:

For me, identifying my passion is the hardest part. I LOVE building websites, vinyl, biking, architecture and lots of other things.  I find it SO hard to focus on one thing. The internet has made it way easier to share your passion.

Here is somebody who has definitely found his passion: he loves riding elevators.  And has a youtube channel filled with 536 videos of himself riding different models of elevators.  Yes, you read that correctly.

Absolutely brilliant.  As of this writing he has had over 4.5 million views in total of all of his videos.

Go check him out.

- Our house isn’t accurately on Google Maps, which amuses me. We’re in a neighborhood called 5 Points, which has a nice little retail section, but is also very heavy with frat houses and 1.6 miles from Downtown. I’ve been exploring to find the optimal path to get there. Dijstra’s Shortest Path algorithm in real life.

- I’ve visited all of the bike shops and record stores in town. Even though the downtown is urban, most other neighborhoods are fairly residential, so there isn’t a lot of urban biking, and most seem to mountain bike or tour. Wuxtry is fantastic and exactly what you would expect, tons of great vinyl. School Kids is really good, but not a ton of vinyl, but more accessible of a store.

- It’s nearly unbearable to function outdoors while the sun is shining, I think I’ll be biking a lot at night.

- Several people have told me about how difficult it is to find a job here because of so many students. I’ve had a few leads for “real” tech jobs in suburban Atlanta, but am not entirely convinced that the commute is worth the bump in salary.

- I’ve already gone to one show by myself, because Jo is already on early morning schedule. The music scene here is fantastic, and it appears that every musician has been in a band with every other musician. Saw The Goons, Poison Control Center and left early during the Pipes You See, Pipes You Don’t

- Also, Junkman’s Daughter’s Brother is pretty awesome.

Yeah, I’m marrying the dog too.

Bertrand Russell

Dunning–Kruger effect – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

I believe people enjoy everything they do.  They complain a lot because they enjoy complaining.  They read a book because they wanted to read that book.  They show up late because they want to.

The key to success at a project, job or relationship is the desire to succeed.  The important part is understanding and focusing on who you are, what you are good at, and what you want.

I call this the Burger King Retard theory. Probably my favorite written piece in the past ten years.

My point is, know who you are and what you enjoy, and getting satisfaction out of it is easy.

This trend scares the shit out of me.
