Predicting the Future
This guy is freaking smart. It's interesting to hear someone, him especially, talk about what comes after Google. From AOL CDs all the way to Twitter becoming my real-time news source, anywhere, in my pocket. It's happening very, very fast.

An Italian Boy's Confession
AN ITALIAN BOY'S CONFESSION
'Bless me Father, for I have sinned.
I have been with a loose girl'. The priest asks, 'Is that you, little Joey Pagano ?' 'Yes, Father, it is.'
'And who was the girl you were with?''I can't tell you, Father. I don't want to ruin her reputation'."Well, Joey, I'm sure to find out her name sooner or later
so you may as well tell me now. Was it Tina Minetti?''I cannot say.''Was it Teresa Mazzarelli?''I'll never tell.''Was it Nina Capelli?''I'm sorry, but I cannot name her.''Was it Cathy Piriano?''My lips are sealed.''Was it Rosa DiAngelo, then?''Please, Father, I cannot tell you.'
The priest sighs in frustration.
'You're very tight lipped, and I admire that.
But you've sinned and have to atone.
You cannot be an altar boy now for 4 months.
Now you go and behave yourself.'
Joey walks back to his pew,
and his friend Franco slides over and whispers,
'What'd you get?'
'Four months vacation and five good leads.'

@fredwilson @bijan My favorite Arctic Monkeys live track, Despair in the Departure Lounge
it feels like she's just nowhere near
you could well be out on your ear
this thought comes closely followed by the fear
and the force of it
makes you feel a bit.. ill
