Listen to this interview and tell me what you think then: http://bit.ly/T49R VincentHorn: @rohan_london: Enjoy your retreat buddy! VincentHorn: @c4chaos A bit myopic perhaps, but much less than people think. His approach to social change (via church structures) is innovative as hell. VincentHorn: @duffmcduffee: Seems like the American Dream assumes a situation where most people are poor (or certainly not well off) to begin with... VincentHorn: Finishing up a big project today. Feels good. VincentHorn: Going to watch 7 Pounds. But first some Japanese beer and Kung Pao.

VincentHorn: Released Buddhist Geeks #100 today. - http://is.gd/bKqf - Here's to the next hundred! VincentHorn: @ryanoelke: Yeah man, Bush has got some moves. Sad that this is the most impressed I've been with him, dodging a shoe. http://bit.ly/165AiX VincentHorn: It's about 55 degrees in my office. Weak. Sauce. VincentHorn: @duffmcduffee: Good starting conditions do help! Sounds like you've got that going for you, at least from your grandparents side. VincentHorn: @duffmcduffee: I think a lot of the research shows that strict diet + exercise does tend to win out over complete disregard for health. VincentHorn: @duffmcduffee: That being said, I guess it would depend on the type of exercise and diet... ex. Atkins diet, though strict, has big prob's. VincentHorn: @ryanoelke I know which side you're on... ;-D VincentHorn: @dan_rizzuto: Heck yeah dawg, major congrats!!!

I thought maybe they knew I was a Buddhist and contemplated death a lot... That or a war veteran. :) VincentHorn: Considering the philosophical implications of Twitter. VincentHorn: Favorite quote from tonight's philosophy discussion: "A noun is a slow moving verb." VincentHorn: @lionisis: Sure do buddy. The dialogue continues!

VincentHorn: Whoa, the dashboard in Wordpress 2.7 is radically different! VincentHorn: Just witnessed @ryanoelke saying, "My gut has a PhD in Statistical Gutstimation." Disturbing but true... ;-P VincentHorn: Had a great lunch w/ @ZachMalone. And learned that I know nothing about tea drinking. Well, I'm ready to be schooled... VincentHorn: @jeffreyjones: Nice, thanks for the suggestion! VincentHorn: @duffmcduffee Probably both, though I'm starting to think leadership is way over-emphasized.
