Dragon:
I was reading through an article and came across a quote that I thought was cool. Every once in a while I come across another quote and don't know where to save it. Sometimes I think, 'that would be cool to put in my signature line... but I don't want to remove the one I have and I don't want a huge stack of quotes.' So here's my solution... start a forum thread where I can post the quotes and links to some articles that have caught my interest.  :D  Feel free to join in. No specific topic requirement.

"Technology has the 'shelflife of a banana', by the time you buy it, it is brown and rotting." - Matt Harrison's Panela Blog, quoting Scott McNealy (SUN CEO)

Additionally geeky goody: Matt has materials for teaching Python to 3-6 Graders at https://github.com/mattharrison/ElementaryPython. I never thought about getting kids that young involved in programming.

I've finally started watching Big Bang Theory after years of hearing how great it was, and how it's just the sort of thing that I'd enjoy.  

Pausing in-between episodes, I stumbled across Chuck Lorre's "vanity plates" and found them fascinating and delightful.  They are probably the first nationally televised blog and he aparently puts them at the end of every show he's done since Dharma & Greg, filling them with his views on whatever, which brings me to my point.  Some of them are very good as quotes, and if no one objects, I'll put some of the ones I enjoy up here.

Starting with:

"Don't believe that crap that you're as young as you feel. Your feelings lie."

"I believe I'm growing skeptical of cynicism."

"In all three film versions of the basic story, we are led to believe that Kong regularly feasts on native girls. Female human sacrifice is how the locals appease him. Then, in each re-telling, he is transformed from mindless, blood-thirsty carnivore to smitten, suicidal love monkey by a skinny, blonde-haired white girl (Fay Wray, Jessica Lange, Naomi Watts). Given this behavioral trend, it is my contention that King Kong would eat Halle Berry. This troubles me deeply and I wanted to share it with you."

I like his 111 card.  ;D 

Oh... and I also like the quote that you currently have in your signature line... Gotta save that before you change it and I forget what it was:

"If you line up all the variations of Monopoly boards end to end, you'll have a very long road that leads to nowhere; and you will have had more fun than actually playing Monopoly."  --Scott Nicholson
