"the main thing you need to learn is doubt. Don't believe anything you're told without good reason and argument. Doubt underpins science." Sir Harold W. Kroto, who received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1996
he was speaking in scientific terms, but i think it is a good principle in general. any thoughts?

past its prime?
so i came across THIS article on macworld.com, who apparently found it on PC world. its about facebook. read the whole article if you are interested. its not that long. but ill pull out the five headlines from the article for those of you who are too lazy to click the link.
1. Facebook Veterans are Defecting to Twitter
2. People Who Actually Have Lives Don't Use Facebook
3. In the Real World, People Often Have Good Reasons for Losing Touch With Old Friends
4. Having too many friends takes the edge off facebook postings
5. After That ‘25 Things’ Note, There's Not Much Left to Say
I don't really know what points 4 & 5 mean. but I can tell you that 2 & 3 are bang on. anyway. found this article interesting. especially since i have been making similar points for a while now. things that support your own view point are always entertaining, no?
in other news. Stephen Harper thinks ?all taxes are bad taxes? this could get ugly.

making the news.
its sort of funny what kind of stuff makes the news these days. heres a couple of the ones i found humorous while reading the globe and mail and drinking my morning coffee:
-stephen harper puts communion cracker in his pocket.
doesnt matter if its true or not. who really cares?
-a guys guitar got broken on United Airlines, writes a song, gets famous
check out youtube for "United Breaks Guitars", especially if you like
TAYLOR guitars. Tim this one might be for you. Pretty decent video
and seems like a great marketing strategy for his band
in other news, i went to A&W last nite for supper cause i had a coupon. i dont usually eat fast food like that cause i end up regretting it the minute i finish. last nite was no different. the story gets worse. so im ordering at A&W and they asked what i want to drink. of course i said root beer, its A&W "world famous rootbeer" after all. but they were out. A&W out of rootbeer? what? must be global warming.
