“We’re having a problem sending email out of the department.”

“What’s the problem?” I asked.

“We can’t send mail more than 500 miles,” the chairman explained.

I choked on my latte. “Come again?”

“We can’t send mail farther than 500 miles from here,” he repeated. “A little bit more, actually. Call it 520 miles. But no farther.”

This is a great, if short, video from 1990, where Steve Jobs discusses the future of the Library of Congress. In it, he talks about how video games could eventually be the future of learning, taking the form of simulations that could access the accumulated information contained in the Library.

It also contains a version of his ‘bicycle of the mind’ analogy, in which he compares the computer to said locomotive device and says that tool building is what separates us from the primates. It’s a great little watch for some choice quotes.

Shenanigans at blip:

Exhibit A) Light therapy: apply directly to your forehead!

Exhibit B) Bacon bounty makes Nate and Jared happy. Bacon-less Paul is sad.

Happy Fat Friday.

(Also, I like how Paul is in both photos.)

Breakfast photo of the day (for Annie).

Two egg whites + one whole egg + pinto beans = badass omelette. Add one whole fresh ripe avocado and salsa verde and you’ve got… breakfast.
