What, if as said, man is a bubble.

The prevalence of mobile homes does not correspond with the prevalence of poverty, or with much of anything else. All that can be confidently said about America's mobile homes is that they are massed in places where you wouldn't want to be in one. Florida's mobile homes lie athwart the path of hurricanes. Georgia's are in the way of tornadoes.

Someone once said that life is what happens while we are making other plans. I now know what that means.

Natalie from the Dixie Chicks could have said what she said before 9-11 and no one would have cared.
A lot of the websites built through the 1990s used Perl. The first webmaster of Sun Microsystems coined a wonderful phrase. He said Perl is the duck tape of the Internet - it's this language that people would write all these scripts that make things just work.
My father had left behind an old piano. My sister was already going to school, my mother was out working, and I stayed at home alone with my adorable grandmother who understood nothing I said. It was so boring that I stayed at the piano all day long, and that saved my life.

Even if it wasn't always morning in America during the years of his presidency, Reagan's eagerness to insist that it was tapped into a longing among voters.

I think there's a lot to be said about just enjoying your work. It can be very contrived when people say their work is for the good of mankind.
There is another old poet whose name I do not now remember who said, 'Truth is the daughter of Time.'
