    Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams

    April 8th, 2008 Exene Posted in people No Comments »

    Carnegie Mellon Professor Randy Pausch, who is dying from pancreatic cancer, gave his last lecture at the university Sept. 18, 2007, before a packed McConomy Auditorium. Why am I posting this now? Well there is going to be a book about it. I like his take about brick walls. God gives me a lot of that for some reason.

    Host Men

    People seem to be fascinated with these men in Japan who make a living by spending time with women for a hefty price. CNN labels them ‘geisha guys’.
    They are more commonly feminine men who dress in high end fashion and wear make-up. One of my favorite show features humorous Host Men (actually boys) who have a club in high school.
    Men get hostess so I don’t see what’s the big deal with women getting the same deal.

    Bloggers don’t get much of a break especially if they have an audience and expects some new content on the site everyday, sites such as Gizmodo and Techcrunch.

    Even though I don’t work for any of those blogs I do admit that I get really tired and pressured of this one. Sometimes it feels like work other days I look forward on showing you guys cool things.

    Two weeks ago in North Lauderdale, Fla., funeral services were held for Russell Shaw, a prolific blogger on technology subjects who died at 60 of a heart attack. In December, another tech blogger, Marc Orchant, died at 50 of a massive coronary. A third, Om Malik, 41, survived a heart attack in December.

    Other bloggers complain of weight loss or gain, sleep disorders, exhaustion and other maladies born of the nonstop strain of producing for a news and information cycle that is as always-on as the Internet.
