Is it possible that everything we come in contact with is a carcinogen to some extent and if we all lived long enough the chance of dying of cancer becomes 100%? - Brian Sullivan

Though my wife says I still act like I am 18 sometimes so maybe this is the compromise point. - Brian Sullivan

"Ideas are rarely created through a "eureka" moment. It may seem like Doc Brown fell off his toilet and invented the flux capacitor, but really the idea for time travel and how to do it were converging in his brain for quite some time before the blow to head. Instead of an "aha!" moment, Johnson believes that ideas are born of a "slow hunch" that are made possible through periods of technological innovation and evolution. If you are creating a startup, where do you get your ideas from?" - Brian Sullivan

The idea that creativity (or innovation) is mostly accomplished in dark corners or garrets by individuals not groups is pervasive in today's world. Killing that perception is not an easy task. - Brian Sullivan

Selling features: Bicycle storage facility,Canoe & kayak storage,Energized parking stalls - I guess you have to know your audience and environment. - Brian Sullivan

yellowknife ? Whew that way up north , good place to be a trapper / wild life/ type of person ! - Peter Dawson

He is a teacher. Their apartment is on the 9th floor of an 11 story building and Yellowknife has 19-20 thousand people so it is not all wilderness. But he/she are wild life/camping/canoeing enthusiasts so they are looking forward to living there. The cold winter and 20 hour days/nights I think would turn me off though. - Brian Sullivan

Rectum? Damn near killed 'em. #DadJoke - Kristin

"Bitcoin, a peer-to-peer currency floating around the Web, is now being targeted by two prominent senators. Democratic Senators Charles Schumer of New York and Joe Manchin of West Virginia have written a letter to both Attorney General Eric Holder and Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) chief Michele Leonhart expressing their desire for the organizations to take down an online marketplace known as "Silk Road," which allows customers to buy illegal drugs, including cocaine, heroin, ecstasy, and marijuana" - Brian Sullivan

You have to wonder if this is really a drug issue or if the disruptive nature of the technology/idea is being targeted because is a threat to banking/economy status quo. - Brian Sullivan

"A man was arrested in Spain after curling himself up inside a large suitcase that was placed in an airport bus cargo bay and sneaking out to steal from other people's luggage, police said Thursday. The man arrested last week was 5'10” tall and very thin, a police official in the northeastern Catalonia region said. An accomplice was also arrested." - Brian Sullivan

This guy is black right? - Brian Sullivan

Some people make narrow mindedness an art. - M F

and they say white man is the racist kind... - Emrah Gunduz

"The controversial program was 10 times more generous than similar initiatives tied to previous summits of world leaders in Alberta and Quebec. While $50-million in federal funds were disbursed in Mr. Clement’s riding and surrounding areas, there was not a single civil servant involved in approving the 32 projects. As such, normal rules applying to such federal spending, designed to guarantee transparency and accountability, were not followed." - Brian Sullivan

Rules? -- we don't need no stinkin' rules. Would the release of this information before the election have had any effect on the election? - Brian Sullivan

He is looking old. - Brian Sullivan

Power was out for 5 or 6 hours last night -- trees downed . Lots of chain saw noise this morning(my neighbourhood has lots of mature trees). - Brian Sullivan

We had dime sized hail and heavy winds for about 20 minutes last night as the front passed through. - Brian Sullivan

No only that but there are dump trucks and jack hammers doing some sort of water work on a neighbour's house, two other neighbours doing renovations, the gas company is doing a major upgrade to gas service and has trucks everywhere, and today is trash pick up day so their trucks are up and down the street. I guess we can be thankful it is not a hurricane, flood, tornado or quake clean up though. - Brian Sullivan

It would have been better if this was next month, after we move. ;-) - Brian Sullivan

I have a 100 left - first come first served. - Brian Sullivan

Umm.. Isn't it, you know, open to everybody now? - Aykın Çakaloz

LOL - Eivind

Can't be open to everybody -- I am seeing this on my Gmail page. Maybe there is a warp in the space time continuum ? ;-) - Brian Sullivan

Huh? - Brian Sullivan

"Anthony Weiner tearfully admitted having a number of online sex relationships with women over the Internet, saying he was deeply ashamed of his actions but would not resign." - Brian Sullivan

First published 1963 (which coincidentally is close to the time my current avatar picture was taken) - Brian Sullivan

Cars and Trucks and Things that Go was my favorite book from age 2 till oh now. - Steve C, Team Marina

We had a whole collection -- big and little, French and English. I think we have retained most of them despite moving and wholesale purge of books and other stuff. Who knows maybe grandchildren will be interested? - Brian Sullivan

You could chew up a half hour of quiet time just thumbing the pages looking for and talking about "hidden" (in plain view) stuff. - Brian Sullivan

My kids loved the "Best Word Book Ever" (in English and French) - Brian Sullivan

I learned to read with the "Best Storybook Ever" - Not LB (or ellbeecee)

"Man, you’ve gotta almost admire the sheer blind dedication of Sarah Palin’s wingnut acolytes. Now they’re trying like crazy to edit the Wikipedia page for “Paul Revere” to make it match Palin’s botched version of history. Here’s the Revision history of Paul Revere; check out the edits that are being reversed." - Brian Sullivan

"No wonder David Bowie was afraid of Americans. A new Newsweek/Daily Beast poll finds that Americans are angry about…pretty much everything. From President Obama to congressional Republicans to even God (who has a 33 percent approval rating), everyone needs to watch out for an angry mob coming their way." - Brian Sullivan

My epidemiologist niece says anybody that eats bean or alfalfa sprouts is playing Russian roulette. - Brian Sullivan

"Sebastien Buemi ran over a spectator during a Red Bull demonstration event in Japan which was being held to raise money for tsunami victims. Buemi was carrying out his usual routine when a spectator decided to take a short-cut across the track from behind a bridge. Unfortunately, he ran straight in front of the Red Bull, but a last-second jump as the car hit him probably saved him from serious injury. Fortunately, neither Buemi or the spectator were injured." - Brian Sullivan

Very nice. - Brian Sullivan

"Of course, this means Sarah Palin is talking about history, and CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin, who was covering the story this afternoon, could barely contain her contempt as Palin described Paul Revere “sending those warning shots and bells” to tell Americans that “the British weren’t taking away our arms.”" - Brian Sullivan

For Sarah Palin history is making stuff up. - Brian Sullivan

stupid lamestream media with their "history". Sigh. - amygeek

We had the first of these parties in June before people went off to summer homes 25 years ago -- it became a tradition after that. - Brian Sullivan

It was cold but at least not wet -- what can you do .. it is Canada after all. - Brian Sullivan

Awkward sentence but couldn't think of another way to say it. - Brian Sullivan

There are always exceptions to a rule, heh. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

""Here we have a man who has no criminal record, who made every possible effort to comply with U.S. immigration laws and procedures, but who dared to take on a multinational giant, rewarded with criminal charges that have been so grotesquely inflated as to make the average well-informed member of the public blanch at the audacity of it all," Sandford said, quoting from her notes on the judge's speech. A transcript of the decision has not yet been made available, she said. Supreme Court officials could not be reached for comment." - Brian Sullivan

"Do not sleep with your cellphone pasted to your ear. Do not use it in poor reception zones. (Fewer signal bars mean the phone has to work harder to get a signal, so it may emit more deadly rays that will penetrate your skull and go straight into your brain.) Be sure to limit the exposure of your kids. You don’t want to be a bad parent, do you?" - Brian Sullivan

OMG Somebody updated the website. - Brian Sullivan

Anybody else remember these people? - Brian Sullivan
