Reminds me of some old conversations I have been reading.

Sexting Rock Stars
The new stats are out for our text stars, and now they are finally relating texting levels to educational level.
“Texting is also directly related to education level, peaking at 69.4 per day for adults with less than a high school diploma and steadily decreasing as education level rises to 23.8 among those with a college degree or more.”

Bamboo Blackbox Case Project = 100% Funded
Today is an exciting day!
At 10:08am I got a call from Matt Wells telling me he wanted to fund our project exactly. At 10:11am he pledged $83 for an iPad 2 Case which put us exactly at $25,000! Thanks for the help señor Wells and for being so cool to exactly pledge what was needed to get these screen shots. You are the man… right up there with all 204 of our other backers who pledged for 247 cases throughout our first fund raising goal.
If your still interested in picking up a Bamboo Blackbox Case for your iPad 2, MacBook Air or Macbook Pro — you have 1 week remaining to pick up a discounted first offering case! And there is still 37 iPad 2 cases available for only $79. These cases will never be priced this low again so grab one for the holidays!
Rock on!

LISTEN
We often forget who we are.
We often forget what is really important.
We often forget who’s really important.
We are so easily distracted.
We forget how to listen.
We forget.
Such an amazing reminder to us all… Thanks Hugh.
Colorado = Least Fat – Congratulations Us
“West Virginia (33.5%) has the highest rate of adult obesity of any US state, while Colorado (20%) has the lowest, according to new Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index data. The prevalence of obesity is nearly 35% higher, on average, in the 11 states with the highest obesity levels compared with the 10 states with the lowest obesity levels: 30.5% vs. 22.6%, respectively.”
Poke the Box
The End is Near
“Americans were much more positive about the effect of religion on their own lives in the 1950s and 1960s, including the historic high of 75% who said religion was very important in 1952.”
Are we just waiting for another disaster to strike?

Am I ahead of the curve… or behind?
I feel special – Only 8% of the american public are considering standard cell phone purchases in the future. Which happens to be the exact same percentage of people considering the new Windows phone.
What happened America? Apple used to own only 8% of the ENTIRE computing world… and now they own everything. Yin Yang – maybe a Windows Phone will be my future? Their ad campaign is certainly genius enough.
But since they don’t allow you embed their commercials (horrible microsoft – but traditional to your brand) – they just got dropped to almost.
Not for me.
TED – Nicholas Christakis – Social
“After mapping humans’ intricate social networks, Nicholas Christakis and colleague James Fowler began investigating how this information could better our lives. Now, he reveals his hot-off-the-press findings: These networks can be used to detect epidemics earlier than ever, from the spread of innovative ideas to risky behaviors to viruses (like H1N1).”
This TED talk will drastically change my future.
