Loved Forgetting Sarah Marshall. This was so funny!

This TED talk shows what the speaker ( Pattie Maes ) calls Sixth Sense Devices to help us in our decision making endeavors.
I’ve been thinking about this problem continuously.  I try to act rationally. The problem with acting rationally is two fold.
1st is that timely and accurate information is very hard to access at any given time. As the speaker said, you don’t strut out your phone and google someone. This is a problem because we are continuously faced with choices, and bad choices compound. To be able to deal with the increasing complexity of our world. We have too much data, we have too many goals, too many things we want to optimize, we need something to help us with this.
2nd we need a good way for us to record our decision making accuracy kind of like what athletes do with all the bio informatics stuff. If we want to improve in life we must first know where we need to change , and with the help of the pareto principle I believe we could get a great bargain!

In anticipation of Manny Pacquiao’s fight vs. Cotto. got this from boing boing!

Carl Sagan reading from his book Pale Blue Dot! If he was still alive he would have been 75 (Nov 9, 2009). Thanks to Universe Today for the video and pointer! “Like it or not, for the moment the earth is where we make our stand!”

Anybody knows where I can buy this toy here? (pointer from boing boing)

The moon was shining on the lake at night
The slayer T-shirt fit the scene just right
Your smeared mascara
I looked into your eyes and saw a light
You told me stories about your chickadees
They didn’t like BB guns or stupid archery
And Shaun the lifeguard
He let them use the pool all day for free
Then the conversation stopped
And I looked down at my feet
I was next to you and you were right there next to me
Then I said
Girl,if you’re wondering if I want you to (I want you to)
I want you to
So make them move (make them move)
cause I ain’t got all night
The rest of the summer was the best we’ve ever had
We watched titanic and it didn’t make us sad
I took you to Best Buy
You took me home to meet your mom and dad
Your mom cooked meat loaf,even though I don’t eat meat
I dug you so much,I took some for the team
Your dad was silent
His eyes were fixed to what was on TV
And the conversation stopped,and I looked down at the ring
Your folks were next to you
And you were right there next to me
And I said
Girl,if you’re wondering if I want you to (I want you to)
I want you to (I want you to)
I swear it’s true (swear it’s true)
Without you my heart is blue
Girl,if you’re wondering if I want you to (I want you to)
I want you to (I want you to)
So make the move (make the move)
cause I ain’t got all night
So much pain may come our way
There may come a day when we have nothing left to say
When the conversation stops and we’re facing our defeat
I’ll be next to you and you’ll be right there next to me
Then I’ll say
Girl,if you’re wondering if I want you to (I want you to)
I want you to (I want you to)
I swear it’s true (swear it’s true)
Without you my heart is blue,oh
Girl, if you’re wondering if I want you to (I want you to)
I want you to (I want you to)
So make the move (make the move)
Cause I ain’t got all night

I’ve watch this before but like a good book, video/lectures affect you depending on what “you” is while you are watching it.
I don’t know why I asking myself this question repeatedly , but I’ve made it a weekly weekend thing to ask myself.
-Are your really happy?
-What’s keeping you from being happy?
-What would/could you change to be happy?
and the answers maybe a bit zen but as my previous post said. failure and success is the same thing.
