Awesome hall of shame devices - Interesting link
There's a cool article with ten hall of shame automotive devices that are/were supposed to do something or another to improve your vehicle's gas mileage, performance, and even ectoplasm removal (because I guess ghosts are slowing your car down؟). Popular Mechanic Gas Saving Gadgets (backup link) covers it all. My favorite is the magnets used to "straighten" fuel molecules to improve ignition efficiency. (If anything, the magnets would add more weight to your car, thus reducing fuel efficiency).

Infinite Universe
Deep thoughts by me, "If the Universe is infinite, then all possibilities will be a reality, which means the Universe was simultaneously created by a God and came into existence without a god. The Universe itself becomes its own quantum superpositional object between all possibilities." [There is a flaw with this logic (infinity does not mean all things that can happen will happen), but it's still a bit of a mind-trip.]

Who needs privacy?
Allie said just now, "I don't know why people post everything on Facebook. ...there's no privacy." I couldn't help but post this quote on Facebook just to be ironic.

Valuable lesson from my first professional job, or how much is a brownie point worth?
My first professional job was in Silicon Valley for a laser company. My boss was Bob. Based on my take of things, Bob was stereotypical for a guy named "Bob" in the professional realm. I'll just leave that to your imagination. Anyway, Bob was wise and taught this young pup a few lessons. One that has proven exceptionally valuable is the concept of brownie points.
Brownie points are earned one at a time for doing someting that impresses the boss. The first time I earned a brownie point for being cleaver (I can't even remember what about), Bob said to me something along the lines of,
There it was; the formula that explained everything that happens on the job.
Do something impressive and you get quick praise "b". Make one mistake big "M" and you are in trouble no matter how much good you've done. Unlike your 401K, brownie points don't carry over from job to job either. Get a new job - start over. I hope this helps! :)

Congraluations! You've earned one brownie point. It takes 1000 to cancel-out one "Oh Shit".

1000b = 1M
