Why French Parents Are Superior by Pamela Druckerman - WSJ.com:

Interesting, even if 75% of the article is pointless and not necessary for the point. But I worry as the advice is from the basis of how to make things better for the parent, not what’s best for the kid, even if a well behaved child is a well behaved adult.

Seinfeld negotiates for the first Acura NSX. Funny, although it’s definitely advertising for advertising sake.

“He awoke each morning with the desire to do right, to be a good and meaningful person, to be, as simple as it sounded and as impossible as it actually was, happy. And during the course of each day his heart would descend from his chest into his stomach. By early afternoon he was overcome by the feeling that nothing was right, or nothing was right for him, and by the desire to be alone. By evening he was fulfilled: alone in the magnitude of his grief, alone in his aimless guilt, alone even in his loneliness. I am not sad, he would repeat to himself over and over, I am not sad. As if he might one day convince himself. Or fool himself. Or convince others — the only thing worse than being sad is for others to know that you are sad. I am not sad. I am not sad. Because his life had unlimited potential for happiness, insofar as it was an empty white room. He would fall asleep with his heart at the foot of his bed, like some domesticated animal that was no part of him at all. And each morning he would wake with it again in the cupboard of his rib cage, having become a little heavier, a little weaker, but still pumping. And by the midafternoon he was again overcome with the desire to be somewhere else, someone else, someone else somewhere else. I am not sad.”

Remove yourself from Spokeo

Remove yourself from Spokeo:

Spokeo is just plain Spooky
http://www.spokeo.com/

I suggest everyone go to the site, search for their name and then submit their URL to be removed. I’m not one to live in a tin-foil hat, but this isn’t cool.

And they’d better hope they never expand in to Japan because they will go straight to jail. I don’t even live in the US and they’re collecting information on me.
