wowowowowowowowow.

So I’ve somehow never been to a Wal-Mart in my life. Being a business school student, we discuss Wal-Mart a lot. I know all about its process innovations, its distribution amazingness, and its supplier rape. But stepping into the store for the first time was still very overwhelming. What doesn’t Wal-mart sell? Health insurance? Diving boards?

It must be great to be a member of this family:

I’ve spent a couple of hours perusing the Wal-Mart company site for a video we were shown in management class, but I can’t find it anymore. If anyone knows where I can track down the clip about vendors/suppliers selling their souls in Bentonville please give me a heads up.

so here we go:

Bill Gates’ sperm: second most-wanted in China (via engadget)

pretty much a story in a headline. the story of an American hero.

While google-newsing Obama, I came across this gem near the top of the stack: Obama’s Charmed Life is Over

Now I understand that this article is part of a regular “My Word” section meant to promote The John Gibson Show, but why is it sorted with the news and how many innocent people have become victims of this promotional tool?

“The Obamas’ have lived a charmed and gaffe-free life up in this campaign so far. But it’s over. Now Mr. and Mrs. Obama are under the microscope and every word is subject to scrutiny.”

…why FoxNews. why do you exist.

Went to see the Digital Kakejiku exhibit which was a large dynamic projection on the San Jose city rotunda.

“It is the combination of sensory perception and subconscious awareness. The changing scenery of the sunset, the “space” between haiku lines, the “space” between sounds, and the “space” between times – none are tangible, but all are part of experiencing “the moment”. When experiencing D-K, the things that you see and feel all come from you. If they didn’t exist in you, you would not be able to perceive them in the first place.”

pretty artsy-fartsy stuff. all i saw were some colors on a building. i got to play around with some long exposure settings and my little tripod.
