The web2.0 feeling

Suddenly you get a great idea for a website, but then you recall
 how hard is to manage real scalable websites and how much money large websites spend on bandwidth, security and maintenance. You realize you have inadequate skills/resources and just give it up. Now you hear about failure of innovation and corporate stranglehold on the web, just remember every little idea destroyed.

If your idea was that great, you wouldn't be worrying about upkeep costs, as the revenue would easily offset these costs.

So, in summary, your idea wasn't all that good after all.

Ideas aren't always very profitable. Of course a corporation like Microsoft can keep losing billions(Bing) if that means something to them.
The problem is web is all about profits, there is no human creativity, just profit-seeking websharks working for another large corps. All good startups are just sold or (rarely) become a large soulless, profit seeking corp.

Suppose God said, "You can have anything or do anything you want."

That would kinda put things in perspective -- a big "meh!  I guess I'll talk with You all day.  Know any jokes?"

master and his friends continued on the shore till I was almost out

My design was, if possible, to discover some small island

Just filter anything with "God" in it. You don't want to read about God here anyway, so nothing of value will be lost.

So, The Year Of P2P on The Startup has not arrived yet?
Why sell your soul to corporations and cloud owner, when you can make it p2p?
If your idea supports p2p, use it or make your own network.

How about, "What was Adam's first word?"

6:19 Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have
killed him; but she could not: 6:20 For Herod feared John, knowing
that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him; and when he
heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.

6:21 And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday
made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates of
Galilee; 6:22 And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and

I can't really see anything funny.  Yer no fun, God.

I think my exact words were "Woe! Stegasuruses must have been pathetic, like turtles."  His response was annoyed and defensive.

Jacob wrestled with an angel.  It must have been a Biblical commentary I read that said, "Jacob tussled with God".  Bible says, "God loved Jacob and hated Esau."  He probably doesn't want 7 billion Jacob clones, though.  You can't really be other than who you are.

Forget about interrogating God trying to get information.  It's better to just think, "Let's kill time enjoying God's company." 

I was just reminded of when teased God, as a Creator, if He was... I donno... envious of Avatar's world.  He said, "sick skin".

You don't actually get that many endearing gems from God, but those are obviously the best things in the world.  My emotional IQ is not so high, come to think of it, so I'm not sure how God feels.


I was in a gifted program in elementary school and we had a fantasy island assignment.  Somehow, I think I wasn't clear on the concept and wrote about what kind of island I'd like to be ruler of.  I said I wanted 100... no 200 nukes.  I'm kind-of annoyed my Mom kept it.  Now, I patronizingly laugh at how it seems every African dictator seems to want arms.  "What?  You got something I'd like better?"

the human race so profoundly curious, and tempestuously swelling,
and restlessly tumbling up and down; and then had there been no need
of Thy dispensers to work in many waters, after a corporeal and
sensible manner, mysterious doings and sayings.  For such those
moving and flying creatures now seem to me to mean, whereby people
being initiated and consecrated by corporeal Sacraments, should not
further profit, unless their soul had a spiritual life, and unless
after the word of admission, it loo

I haven't read Augustine, but I like to use it for God's vocabulary when I let Him pick individual words.  Occassionally, when I let Him do random book picks, Augustine come-up.  Some are dreadfully awful, even hilariously, where Augustine is groveling to make himself believe silly Catholic teachings.

Personally, I learned throwing-out all beliefs, generally makes you end-up a "tin-foil hat buffoon".  I consider myself a Christian and would say I've had my share of reality-questioning concussions to the point where I don't pretend or worry whether I'm consistent in belief.  I take some things on faith, unappoligetically.  Now, I'm fairly happy with my understanding of reality -- I haven't had crisises where I question reality in a while.  I think about how my birds don't understand reality, but do pretty well.  You can see a bird must take things on faith just to live because it's simply impossible for them to ever understand their world.  It's probably better not to get depressed about it and try to enjoy life  -- many times, you have the power to change the subject if reality sucks at the time.

they were lucky, or well paid for their time, unless they got a long
string of fish, though they had the opportunity of seeing the pond
all the while.  They might go there a thousand times before the
sediment of fishing would sink to the bottom and leave their purpose
pure; but no doubt such a clarifying process would be going on all
the while.  The Governor and his Council faintly remember the pond,
for they went a-fishing there when they were boys; but now they are
too old and dignified to go

It's natural to think a lot about aliens, at first.  Just tell yourself, "Angel" and you'll be okay.  If you're science minded, the thought of being alive at any kind of singularity is unlikely.  I find being alive just 2000 years from Christ is pretty close to a signularity, but history started in the around then. 

Singularity is a rediculous thought for me personally.  I'll just chalk it up to concussion-induced inconsistency in belief... that I just don't think about.

Anyway, if you're worried about aliens, think "angel" and remember things are no different than they've been for thousands of years.

You get out of prayer roughly what you put into it, but I guess more.  It would be nice if you were able to offer high quality offerings, but most of your offerings will probably be average and thus God will be ... okay.  Mostly you get the satisfaction of His presence, honestly.

Once miracles are not that unusual, you will start to want good ones.  Honestly, I guess I like them all, still, but it seems like at some point you must turn-you-nose-up to Hail Mary Cheesetoast, and prefer a more useful one, like wise advice.
