Googlebombing
Yes, many people believe he is a failure.
Just happy to contribute to the cause…

Software Licenses in the Real World
From Boing Boing:
The city of Hoboken had a contract dispute with the operators of a robotic parking garage; the garage operators cancelled the city’s license to its software and locked all the cars inside.

Don’t Drink and Blog
Somewhere along the way we all realize that we need to refrain from “drinking and dialing” (or drunk dialing, if you will), implicitly don’t drink and txt or email, but now there’s don’t drink and blog.
Really, good advice if I ever heard it. Although I do like Mark Twain’s, “Write drunk, edit sober.”

Parkour!
Parkour – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Parkour (IPA: /pa?.’ku?/, often abbreviated PK) is a physical discipline of French origin in which participants attempt to pass obstacles in the fastest and most direct manner possible, using skills such as jumping, vaulting and climbing, or the more specific parkour moves. The obstacles can be anything in one’s environment, so parkour is often practiced in urban areas because of many suitable public structures, such as buildings, rails, and walls.
As seen in YouTube favorites Crazy Russian Climbers and similar.
