“Disappointing” iPad 3 speculation – Marco.org
I like people who can use reason to form an opinion. Seems rare…

I just realized that danielle’s Pinterest is like my Instapaper. She needs pictures; I need words.
Classy.
Writing like this is what makes me love Serious Eats:
Everyone else just drank orange juice as we watched Kenji and Chichi fight about how much oil you need to render a pig head—seriously. It was the most perfect Kenji-Chichi fight ever.
I want to work at a place where I can write, argue about rendering pig’s heads, and drink jalapeno-grapefruit “margaritas”.
You Can’t Legislate Morality
Martin Luther King Jr.:
Now the other myth that gets around is the idea that legislation cannot really solve the problem and that it has no great role to play in this period of social change because you’ve got to change the heart and you can’t change the heart through legislation. You can’t legislate morals. The job must be done through education and religion.
Well, there’s half-truth involved here.
Certainly, if the problem is to be solved then in the final sense, hearts must be changed. Religion and education must play a great role in changing the heart.
But we must go on to say that while it may be true that morality cannot be legislated, behavior can be regulated.
It may be true that the law cannot change the heart but it can restrain the heartless.
It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me but it can keep him from lynching me and I think that is pretty important, also.
So there is a need for executive orders.
There is a need for judicial decrees.
There is a need for civil rights legislation on the local scale within states and on the national scale from the federal government.

Barefoot Shoes
Trying to take it slow with my new shoes. After wearing around for the past couple of days, I went for a short run today. Body felt great. Calves burn like crazy. No issues with the feet and I am getting used to the form. It almost feels right.
The Harrowing Silence
Woah.
New kicks. So pumped.
Yup, those are tall.
Today marks the entry of the chaos of three kids. #eben
Jameson took 2nd place (out of 12 3 - 6 year olds) at the GA National Fair. This was his initial Mutton Bustin’ ride. Born champ.
I’d do anything to lose 10lbs, except eat healthy and work out.

“There are only four types of officer. First, there are the lazy, stupid ones. Leave them alone, they do no harm … Second, there are the hard-working intelligent ones. They make excellent staff officers, ensuring that every detail is properly considered. Third, there are the hard-working stupid ones. These people are a menace and must be fired at once. They create irrelevant work for everybody. Finally, there are the intelligent lazy ones. They are suited for the highest office,” i.e., suited for the top job since they are likely to choose the simplest solutions — and hence the easiest to translate into action on the battlefield — and they are good at delegating.
