Why I Love My Mac — Reason #0005

I just got this error (no this is not a joke!) when using Windows XP under Virtual PC …

Memorable Quotes — Buckminster Fuller

I just came across this great quote from Buckminster Fuller relating to generalism and just had to share it. He wrote:

“The more specialized society becomes, the less attention does it pay to the discoveries of the mind, which are intuitively beamed to the brain, there to be received only if the switches are on. Specialization tends to shut off the wide-band tuning searches and thus to preclude further discovery of all-powerful generalized prinicples.”
