Sergey {Mikhailovich} Brin is cute. He is also a brainerd.

For those of you who can't, on planet Earth figure out whom I am raving about should click here, and learn how he, and old college mate Paige setup the most-used search engine on the World Wide Web. At a time when all I knew about search engines were either metacrawler dotcom, and Northern Light.

Then came Google and hell, broke loose for Microsoft Corporation. They couldn't even spell it right the first time they wanted to register their domain, but they raked in more than $10B at IPO. These boys are genius'. They finally got the hang of playing algorithms and as much as "The Devil Wears Prada", and "My ex-Super Girlfriend" two movies seen days apart last week, and reading Buber, Merleau-Ponty and Nietzsche, I can't seem to fathom page-ranking anymore. Not that I care, because to have this issue bugging a developer sucks Life out of one.

I want to be able to enjoy the Philharmonic without having to question one's PR on the WWW. Heck, I'm not even thinking of going IPO.. {yet}

There is Life outside the Internet, and you my dear friend, need it as much as your body needs Sunshine! Whilst Google is churning projects after projects, Microsoft has designed the first futuristic school. This $63M school promises utmost security, by introducing children to smart-cards for libraries, to attendance to ordering their canteen food{s}... keeping their "secrets" in lockers... Incorporating the latest environmental designs including photovoltaic window panels designed to reduce electrical costs, I wonder what the logic is behind this project - Can't they just do it with Nano-Biometrics and RFID?.

Sometimes I query, sometimes I don't.


I'm sure you, and I can do wonders with $63M - Perhaps a Sanctuary for Animals in the shape of an Ark?
