a short list of stuff.

1.) hi-def video on my cell phone. Google, Apple, RIM, Verizon...you have the cash and the technology...make it happen.

2.) HTML embedding on SMS text messages. Why not?

3.) Free data. Movies, music, books, software, tv shows. If it is digital, it wants to be free. Fat kids are in their mom's basement hacking away at getting videos and software out on the internet for people to download for free. Why not give them a place to do so legally? NBC could broadcast a TV show, then allow someone to load it to Hulu.com for others to watch. NBC won't have to pay some sausage-finger 6 figures to do something someone will do for free.

4.) Cable companies should use the cell phone company biz model. They should subsidize the cost of a TV set, and lock you in to a contract for two years so they can recoup the cost of the TV. Ever had to buy a cellie when you are still within your contract? That's right, your $99 BlackBerry Curve is really a $450 chunk of plastic that you are likely to use for only 24 months before locking into another contract to get a new phone. A Vizio plasma TV doesn't cost a ton more than an iPhone.

Race Categories:

(From the newest member of the PureJenius.net staff (who, by the way, is paid >well So I've been perusing the MCF board tonight and I still can't believe how many guys are whining about the races and race categories that promoters choose for races. I'm pretty good at whining too, so here goes: I'm a 35+ Cat 3 woman who will show up for the St. Cloud Crit and have to toe the line with Cat 1/2 guys - I don't give a shit that they're 50+, their license still says Cat 1 or 2 (and 3/4/5) and they race like Cat 1/2s. What's that you say, it's a ROY race, so we'll be scored separately? Okay cool, then I'll completely overlook the fact that the race will blow apart on about lap 1.5 and I'll spend the remainder of the race with 3 or 4 other women if I'm lucky or I'll assume the time trial position and ride around in circles by myself. Should be fun. Oh, I should shut my trap because if I think the 50+ guys are too fast and furious, I s...

Slow

My low self esteem dates back to my early childhood. I grew up in a household where I was to be seen and not heard. I was told quite often that nothing in the house was mine because I did not pay for it. I was not allowed to have an opinion or challenge the patriarch and authority. This continued through to my adult life and continued to shape how I felt about myself. I wasn't ever going to be good enough. It weighs deep with me today. I have very low self worth and self esteem. I don't feel like I belong in social situations with people who, from my own perspective, are normal. If they only knew how fragile of a person I am, it would be game over for me. It shouldn't matter to me anymore as I have proven, to myself, that I came from behind to catch up with my peer group from an educational and professional standpoint. It still weighs on me, I feel like others look at me and think that I must not be that smart because I'm only an XYZ at my job and not an ABC.  Of course...
