I saw this in the SF Chronicle the other day.

“i always thought i was destined for great things. But then one day I realized… I’m a potato.”

I gotta say I have days when I leap too high and fall down, and I feel just like that.

“Each egg’s display glows through its shell indicating the number of days remaining before the egg goes bad.” Of course, sawing the egg in half to implant the LED has gotta affect its shelf life. I sure hope this never happens in real life.

He relates balancing rocks to mashups:

“When I play with mashups – when I play with ideas – I’m balancing logic rocks. Sometimes they fall over, but that’s okay; if I wanted to build something a little longer lasting, I’d use concrete…. we need to find ways of exploring how to doodle with new technology.”
