what's wrong with our current educational system?
this guy will tell you.
the link is to one of the TED lectures i mentioned in my previous post. the speaker talks about how our current/modern educational system kills creativity. he makes some excellent points and even more excellent jokes. it's worth twenty minutes of your time without question and i highly encourage you to watch it.

posted 1.16.2008 at 5:19 AM, eh? am I psycho or just psychic?
i'm confused. i'm not sure who you are. and if you're a psycho, then i don't want to know. if you're a psychic, i do. but only if you know this week's winning lotto numbers.
ah me, bad joke. in short: how could you have posted this at 5:19 AM when it's only, well, oonnllyy 2:46AM?
now let me rephrase the question. are YOU psycho? or psychic? ps. you do know me. vaguely. your camera did, once.
ahh...i get it. funny (and i mean that...though when it's typed, it's reads as sarcastic and me being a butt-head. and i'm not one. i'm more of a booger-brain kind of guy really.)
and to answer your question...i'm neither psycho nor psychic. i'm from the future. but only 3 hours from the future. and as someone from the future, let me just say that jetpacks are totally awesome. you'll know what i mean in about three hours. oh...and space travel is also totally awesome. but being a vegetarian is still pretty lame.
also...i changed the time zone to pacific (it was on cayman islands. i wish.)
i really can't wait for the future, then. :D
planet spaceball, here i come?!
wikipedia says the cayman islands are nice.
and apparently we have christopher columbus to thank for that. i guess he fancied scuba diving?
the only thing i know about the cayman islands is what they showed in The Firm. apparently it's a great place to blackmail someone, to steal hidden files and to fake your death on a fishing boat. probably where i'll go on my honeymoon.
and yeah, if you start watching spaceballs right now, by the time it's over, that's exactly what life will be like. because that's what life was like when i came back from the future. so if you don't think you'd want to be a spaceballer, you better find yourself a ship and become a space pirate.
..or just run away to the cayman islands, blackmail someone, steal hidden files, fake my death on a fishing boat, then honeymoon with tom cruise for the rest of my blissful vacation that is life. no mel brooks for me tonight, thanks. i've a settled feeling in my stomach after watching "Eagle vs Shark" and I don't want to upset it.
