I love the new boardwalk they built along the waterfront along Queen Quay's West.

[ˈkarl ˈɡʊstaf ˈjʊŋ]
I must have drunk'n'joined a Carl Jung Yahoo! Group or something, because I am now receiving a ridiculous amount of group updates, the majority of which are random quotes. Anyway, I thought I would share some of my favourites before marking it as spam...
"The Pendulum of the mind oscillates between sense and nonsense, not between right or wrong."
"Through pride we are ever deceiving ourselves. But deep down below the surface of the average conscience a still, small voice says to us, 'Something is out of tune."
"Show me a sane man and I will cure him for you."
"Nothing worse could happen to one than to be completely understood."
"Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart...who looks outside,dreams. Who looks inside, awakens."
"We cannot change anything unless we accept it. Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses."
"Great talents are the most lovely and often the most dangerous fruits on the tree of humanity. They hang upon the most slender twigs that are easily snapped off."

L’Étranger
Nothing, nothing mattered, and I knew why. So did he. Throughout the whole absurd life I'd lived, a dark wind had been rising toward me from somewhere deep in my future, across years that were still to come, and as it passed, this wind leveled whatever was offered to me at the time, in years no more real than the ones I was living. What did other people's deaths or a mother's love matter to me; what did his God or the lives people choose or the fate they think they elect matter to me when we're all elected by the same fate, me and billions of privileged people like him who also called themselves my brothers? Couldn't he see, couldn't he see that? Everybody was privileged. There were only privileged people. The others would all be condemned one day. And he would be condemned, too.

Fun with Twitter
If there is one thing I like more than Twitter, it is finding useless things to do with Twitter. Here's a great one from Damon Cortesi: TweetStats. Just insert your Twitter user name and presto! You have your very own personalized report based on your usage habits. Very cool.
Here's a challenge: I would love for somebody to develop a script that will analyze all your updates and output a personality profile of sorts... Are you a optimist or pessimist? Is your outlook on life more positive or negative? Do you ask more questions or provide more answers? Do you have good grammar? How strong are your language skills? I can't imagine it would be overly difficult to set up the proper algorithms to determine such things but I'm not geeky enough to figure it out for myself. I've seen very similar things done using your blog posts. Any takers?
Here's what TweetStats had to say about me:

Info-Porn
This post is for Dino. I checked out the NY Times Music section for the first time in a while and stumbled upon these very sexy infographs by artist Andrew Kuo:
Staying on Target...
I wasn't planning to contribute to the shit storm that the marketing blogosphere has created over the Target billboard pictured above, but I couldn't resist a fun contest. If you are unfamiliar with the incident, Gavin provides a nice summary here.
I will agree that Target's reaction to the blogosphere's criticism was really, really dumb and did deserve a discussion. However, to claim that the advertisement was "senselessly subversive", intentionally or not, is completely ridiculous and the amount of time that has been spent on the issue is very embarrassing to me as a member of both the marketing and blogging community. If I were Target, I would have simply sent Amy a text message reading: "G3t a l1f3".
Anyway, here is my submission to Gavin's contest:

Getting Inked? Read this...
When I got my first tattoo this spring, I was told that I could come back for a free touch-up any time within the first year. I never really gave it much more thought until I stumbled across David Allen's tattoo blog. I think my tattoo looks perfect but I'm thinking I should go back for a touch-up now that I've seen the difference it can make:
