Some days a good inspiration post is just what the doctor ordered.  

Other days I want to see if I've acquired the ability to deliver a punch via tcpip.

At first, Alayna Adams thought she threw out the first pitch to a Tampa Bay Rays catcher.

Turns out, she threw it to her dad, who just finished his deployment in Afghanistan: http://atmlb.com/12GEb8m

So much turmoil in my life right now.  It's like there are two parallel paths right next to each other.  I'm currently walking on the mostly calm and rational path.  One foot in front of the other.  One step at a time.  One day at a time.

But I keep looking over at the emotional and explosive path and I'm really tempted to jump over.  It would be so refreshing, but there might be consequences.  Sometimes I pity people who always give in to their emotions.  Sometimes I envy them.

I'm mixed on the manual refresh.  A feature I would like to see added, is some kind of subtle coloring or bordering so I can easily tell which new items just appeared as a result of my refresh.

I'll reserve judgement for later, but the new layout does seem to be giving my brain a workout.  It's like I've been staring at a 3D image trying to "see" the object.  

And when I scroll down my stream and there is new stuff in all quadrants of the screen, I probably look like a cat chasing a laser pointer beam.

Building a better mousetrap...or wheel

I love when innovation happens in places you least expect it. I know I have never looked at a bicycle wheel and thought about it could be improved...but these guys did. Very cool stuff!

Interesting article of the morning
and where I ask those wiser than me to tell me what they wish they knew when they were 30

Kareem is a famous American Basketball player in his mid 60's.  I thought this was an interesting article, and I love to read the advice people who are older (and hopefully wiser)  give out.  I realize this is his unique perspective, but I thought it was well thought out and written.  So far my 30's have been extremely busy, mostly because of the unfortunate fast pace of life, 2 tech parents with 3 small children have.  I wonder what advice I will give myself when I am in my 60's.  Those of you who are older and wiser I would love to hear from you.  *What are some things you wish you knew when you were 30?*

I keep seeing this when I drive through downtown Bellevue.  I haven't had time to actually walk by and write something.  I am not sure what I would write if I did.  I would love to live to see my grandkids before I die.  There are also a few other things...

What would you write on the "Before I die..." board?

One picture a day of an abused woman

The video's Serbian title "Jedna fotografija dnevno u najgoroj godini života" translates to "One photo a day in the worst year of my life" and is a shocking twist on the popular one-photo-a-day video style. While the video's origins are not completely clear, the model is Mia Hujić, who worked as a hostess and show room model in Italy for fashion houses “Ralph Lauren” and “Jill Sander”. As a translator she collaborated with movie houses and worked on the set of Italian TV series.

It's unknown if the injuries depicted are real or illustrative or if the brutal molestation really happened to Mia Hujic, or someone close to her, or is it just a shocking campaign to eradicate and stop the harassment. It will not be known until the author resolve to speak about this subject.

Is the Catalyst SAT Bootcamp worth it?

I'm of the opinion that you can fall into a "more is always better" trap and I'd like to avoid that, if possible.  Does anyone have direct or indirect experience with the Catalyst SAT Bootcamp?  Did the child feel like it taught them something that they would not have learned through their own self-study?  Thank you for any feedback you can share.
