Three poems -- a prelude to serious writing -- offered for your diversion.
Sometimes it feels like people think I'm wiser than I do. I try not to have any deep philosophical reason to my life anymore. Its just not me. Its taken years, but I'm finding a great deal of comfort in simplicity. So when it comes to helping folks with there problems, it feels like I've become a bumpersticker dispenser. Some of the best ones I've seen recently:
- You're all laughing at me because I'm different. I'm laughing at you because you're all the same.
- Good. Fast. Cheap. Choose Two.
- Be thankful life isn't fair
- Be willing to give up what you are for what you want to be
- If you want to be taken seriously, you must know how to laugh at yourself.
- Don't believe everything you think
- NEXT?
- Never underestimate the power of large groups to make people stupid
- Stupid should hurt
- What would Larry Wall do?
- Strip mining prevents forest fires
- Artificial Intelligence isn't a substitute for the real thing
- Practice kind of random acts of beautiful senselessness
- Think you can or you can't and won't
- Relish today, Ketchup Tomorrow.
Which ones would you add?

Line of the night: There's no real passion in what they are doing. They seem to have a doubt that the RDF thing can work. That's too bad. Dave Winer has passion. I guess that's why he won.
