People who ‘hate getting old’ are idiots. Every year is a privilege. Let me tell you, callow miserabilists: getting to 60 feels like a triumph. I have no idea how I made it this far, but I am very grateful.

WolframAlpha has analyzed the personal analytics of those who donated their Facebook data to W|A. Today, they posted some of the results on their blog.
Curious to see how I compare, here are a selected few results from my analytics.
Friend Clusters
My friend cluster shows five tight clusters for:
- High school
- Family
- College
- Church
- In laws
Scattered around are pockets of Intel people, Portland people, and those from a previous job. Notably absent are friends from law school. I’d like to say I have them on LinkedIn, but my mom taught me not to lie. ;-) Read more
Happy Earth Day 2013!
Yes, I know Earth Day is merely symbolic. That doesn’t mean it’s worthless. After all, the flowers we send for Mothers’ Day are “just a symbol” of our love for our mothers.1
In keeping with the tradition, I’ve changed the accent color here from yellow to a nice2 green.3 I think I’ll keep it this way for a while.
I guess this would be the appropriate time to mention that I rode my bike to work today and drank from Intel’s new reusable cups.4
How are you celebrating Earth Day today?
*Hi, mom! :-)
2I like it.
3Sorry. It’s not emerald green, Pantone’s 2013 color of the year. Couldn’t go that stylish. Just be glad I know it exists. ;-)
4Yeah, yeah. Intel’s had reusable cups as long as I remember. Today, Intel eliminated the disposable option and got some real cool “sippy cups” that work great for both hot and cold beverages.

Yesterday, we took a quick trip to the Oregon Zoo to see Lilly, the elephant born last November. It was my second trip to the zoo this week.
The weather was nice and the animals were out and visible. Good times!
No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
