Song lyrics o' the day - Van Morrison

You'll look at me
With eyes that see
And melt into my waiting arms
And so I come
To be the one
Who's always standing close to you

How can you not like Van Morrison?

Of note today:  I launched www.theboysclubcalgary.com. It is kind of boring right now, as there's no events listed, but if you know of anyone that might be interested, please forward it to them. 

Also: The Kuip-ster and I were discussing music yesterday and she said something that was so exactly right, I have to write it down:

"Finding new music is like falling in love."

*sigh* too true.

Song lyrics o' the day - Young Love

you make fast living look just fine
looks like i got here just in time
tonight the city is yours and mine
but it wont last forever

 

One of two Young Love tracks I like listening to while on the treadmill. Good times, yes.

A letter on inspiration

Dear Team,

"I was sitting in my college dorm room thinking of industries that would change the face of humanity. I came up with three - the internet, the environment and outerspace and then I just got to work on them" - Elon Musk (paraphrased)

That is by far more inspiring than one of those motivational posters.

I spend more time than necessary thinking of all the great things I *could* be doing. I guess I should really just roll up my sleeves and get to work on them. It sounds so gosh darn easy!

Huggles,

Blue

Song lyrics o' the day - Veruca Salt

I'm falling in love, 
my walkman and me, 
with David Bowie.
yeah, you betcha.

 

Veruca Salt is possibly one of the coolest band names ever AND they sing a song about falling in love with David Bowie. 

 

Daddy, I want another pony.

Song lyrics o' the day - Fleet Foxes

Lie to me if you will at the top of Beringer Hill 
Tell me anything you want, any old lie will do 
Call me back to you

I have no doubt in my mind that all of the members of Fleet Foxes use Dr. Bronner's soap. Whenever I use it, Fleet Foxes are playing in my head. Strange? Interesting? I don't know for certain, but it is true. 

 

Also of note today: LeadLander tells me that a surprisingly large number of people search for fart-proof underwear and end up at my company's website.

Song lyrics o' the day - Jenny Lewis

But you are what you love,

And not what loves you back 

And I'm in love with illusions 

So saw me in half 

I'm in love with tricks 

So pull another rabbit out of your hat

Song lyrics o' the day - Lily Allen

You're no friend of mine girl

And I've known it for a while girl,

You're just a waste of time girl

Why don't you have another line girl.

 

 

Lily Allen has a third nipple. I saw it on Jonathan Ross. I like Lily Allen's drunken girl fights in bars and what not. I haven't listened to this track in a while, but the other day, I was thinking these exact same thoughts and I had one of those, "Wait a minute, I think someone wrote a song about this one time!" Sure enough, Lily Allen did.

Song lyrics o' the day - Stars

With buried heads we both forget
All of the past and its regret
Wind picks up, the window shakes
We wont hear the morning break

Stars sing some pretty hot lyrics in this track, I think. Their new album is titled Sad Robots, which totally reminds me of A Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

Song lyrics o' the day - Rilo Kiley

Here's to all the pretty words
We will never speak

 

I like Rilo Kiley, whenever they come up on my playlist, I don't skip the song.

 

ps Sorry for no Song lyrics o' the day these past few days, I was away with sketchy wireless! Next time I'm gone, I'll get some guest posts!

A wrap up letter on Web2Summit

The petaflop barrier: One thousand trillion calculations per second!


Betterchoice.org Solving the right problem with the wrong time frame.

Buidling the network, not the device. Their compnay is the opposite of Tesla Motors. Who gets through this down turn? The real question is who comes up with a new biz model for the car industry.

Denmark 180% tax on gas cars - if you have an electric car for 20000 $ you should pay 60000$ for the gasoline version. Crazy!

Light notes this afternoon - Al Gore - the average age of systems engineers that stood and cheered Niel Armstrong landing on the moon 8 years after JFK said we'd have someone on the moon in ten years, was 26. That means they were 18 when JFK made the prediction. TO'R said that sent a chill down his back. God! He is a good speaker, his answers to all questions seem like he's thought them out beforehand and it is totally on the fly. Q: if you had only a hundred billion dollars, what would you prioritize? A: I don't know how else to say it, it can't be done like that. We need more than that.

Oh, highlights from last night: DJ AM is totally worth any cash you'd pay to hear him. Music was awesome, no wonder he slays hot chicks. Conference is over, I'm off to have some SF fun!
Huggles, Blue
