My friend sent me a link about this 25 year old kid who just sold mint.com for $170 million to Intuit.

I gotta find that inner entrepreneur and start making things happen!

What would you say to the Dalai Lama if he was serving you lunch?  What an incredible picture.  This was taken of him volunteering in San Francisco.

He’s been so intriguing to me for a long time.  His life from being chosen as the next Dalai Lama as a child to escaping China’s communist regime and being exiled from his home in Tibet is so interesting.  Plus his face and expressions totally reminds me of my late grandpa.  Here’s a quote I found from him:

I myself feel, and also tell other Buddhists that the question of Nirvana will come later.
There is not much hurry.
If in day to day life you lead a good life, honesty, with love, with compassion, with less selfishness, then automatically it will lead to Nirvana.

I think that quote applies to all religions… or at least it should!

Check out more photos like the one above @ TIME’s The Year in Pictures 2009.  There’s a lot of good ones!

I get into my car to drive to work and I have bald tires and a bunch of time slips in the cup holder.  It’s worth it though!  She clocked the 2nd fastest of the day.

Just found an awesome lunch joint across the street from my office!  $6.99 for the lunch buffet, and everything I ate was good.  They had some nice homemade corn tortillas too.
