Kelly Thomas Beating

I was told about this by a cabbie today. This is pretty gruesome. It's sad to hear this schizophrenic homeless guy scream for his dad. There is a pretty graphic picture at the bottom. I wont comment on this too much, but you can come to your own conclusions.

Apple Stoer


Yes, you read it right. Apple Stoer. This was a great post about Apple stores in China. Your intellectual property is not safe in China. The best part about this blog post is that the employees "all genuinely think they work for Apple." Scary stuff.

TED

I recently had an opportunity to go to TedxSocal. Its independent of the actual TED conference, but nonetheless it was an excellent conference. It was full of ideas worth sharing. You can check out TED at www.ted.com.

The conference inspired me to browse www.ted.com for other inspiring ideas and I happened to stumble upon http://www.ted.com/talks/tim_harford.html . It makes a great point about how making sense of the world is pretty difficult. My personal takeaway was that you can create all the models you want and hypothesize all you want about what will and will not succeed, but until you try you wont know what works. Anyways, have a go at it and watch Tim talk about it.
