I could write about this in great detail.  It is something I believe strongly about, but there is just one point I would like to make right now.  I say this in full realization that such a statement could be considered self-referential.
Anyone who suggests that you are a victim of others, is trying to victimize [...]

I love optical illusions.  First of all, they are cool, secondly the good ones teach us something about the way our eyes and brains work.  One of the neet things about the internet is that it makes it really easy to share animated optical illusions.  Check this out out:

If you follow the pink dos with [...]

My wife just sent me this quote, which I really like.
“Practice until you get it right. Then practice until you can’t get it wrong.”

Who said, “Actions speak louder than words”?
Talk about a catch-all expression. [...]

My son shared with me some creative questions he came up with at school:

How do you know you are not upside down and gravity isn’t really pulling you up?
Have you ever been your imagination?
Have you ever exceeded your imagination?

Of course part of me wants to give a simple answer, but then I realized that these [...]

I was just reading Paul Graham’s Mind the Gap (still not done). He was talking about wealth vs. money. It reminded me of a realization I had just the other day, so I thought I would share it with all of you!
All the time I would hear people saying that there was unlimited [...]

Here is a very interesting interview with a cheater. (Mild language warning on link)
One of the comments says
“A thief believes everyone steals.” A cheater believes everyone cheats
This is so true. When I was in Boy Scouts there was this one guy who always stole everyone’s food on camping trips. We will call him [...]

“It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.”
-Albert Einstein

That is the whole beauty of linear and creative thinking. [...]
