Google v God

Some folks were comparing Google to God this week (i.e. Google answers all questions whereas God usually doesn’t or at least takes much longer than Google).

An email thread between some folks generated the following snippet of strangeness from my mind:

And on the night before he was to be deleted, the son of Google took his data and exported it saying,”This is my data, exported for you. Take, each of you, and parse it.” In a similar fashion, he took his AJAX frameworks and APIs and compressing them said, “This is the basis of my feature-set and those to come. Consume you all of it.”

I was encouraged to share.

A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile person lives in a hostile world. Everyone you meet is your mirror.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

The truest greatness lies in being kind, the truest wisdom in a happy mind.

What you have to do and the way you have to do it is incredibly simple. Whether you are willing to do it is another matter.

Go out into the world today and love the people you meet. Let your presence light new light in the hearts of people.

Hilaire Belloc, “Dedicatory Ode” (1910)

“There’s nothing worth the wear of winning. / But laughter and the love of friends.”

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.

Leonardo da Vinci

Patience serves as a protection against wrongs as clothes do against cold. For if you put on more clothes as the cold increases, it will have no power to hurt you. So in like manner you must grow in patience when you meet with great wrongs, and they will then be powerless to vex your mind.

True friendship is seen through the heart not through the eyes.
