I really wanted to do something positive on the Internet. I wanted to try to get young people talking about thinking about life's big questions-make it cool and OK to wonder about the heart the soul and free will and God and death and big topics like that big human topics.

Both conservatives and liberals watch 'Parks and Recreation ' and they each think the show is for them which is really cool. 'SNL' was totally different. It was exciting because everyone was paying attention. Political humor works when people know what you're talking about.

I think it's really cool that there are people like Adele on the cover of 'Vogue' and 'Rolling Stone ' and like I think it's really important that people are talking about your body because if they don't then you'll never be able to break that barrier.

Cricket makes no sense to me. I find it beautiful to watch and I like that they break for tea. That is very cool but I don't understand. My friends from The Clash tried to explain it years and years ago but I didn't understand what they were talking about.

Over and over again financial experts and wonkish talking heads endeavor to explain these mysterious 'toxic' financial instruments to us lay folk. Over and over they ignobly fail because we all know that no one understands credit default obligations and derivatives except perhaps Mr. Buffett and the computers who created them.

The next major explosion is going to be when genetics and computers come together. I'm talking about an organic computer - about biological substances that can function like a semiconductor.

Why does everyone think the future is space helmets silver foil and talking like computers like a bad episode of Star Trek?

Globalization as defined by rich people like us is a very nice thing... you are talking about the Internet you are talking about cell phones you are talking about computers. This doesn't affect two-thirds of the people of the world.

With Jackson there was quiet solitude. Just to sit and look at the landscape. An inner quietness. After dinner to sit on the back porch and look at the light. No need for talking. For any kind of communication.

States are looking for low-cost solutions that will enable better communication while avoiding the danger in which the chain of command breaks down in emergencies. We do not want everyone talking to everyone else all the time.
