“Let’s start with a premise that I don’t think a lot of Americans are aware of. We have five percent of the world’s population; we have 25 percent of the world’s known prison population. There are only two possibilities here: either we have the most evil people on earth living in the United States; or we are doing something dramatically wrong in terms of how we approach the issue of criminal justice,”
I was working in my old building this morning and saw these quotes on Laura/Nitesh’s old whiteboard which didn’t get erased before we moved. Found them pretty inspirational so you know me, I took a picture of them with my iPhone so they could be shared with the world.
This is the beginning of a new day.
God has given me this day to use as I will.
I can waste it or I can use it for good.
What I do today is very important because I’m exchanging a day of my life for it.
When tomorrow comes this day will be gone, forever,
Leaving something in its place I have traded for it.
I want it to be gain, not loss, good, not evil,
Success, not failure, in order that I shall not
forget the price I paid for it.

Went to Santana Row for lunch at a really yummy Mexican restaurant. Then we went to Pinkberry for dessert and I had a small original with fruity pebbles and chocolate chips which was amazing. Then we went to the Tech Museum of Innovation where we saw an IMAX movie about flight which was amazing. Had coffee at a really cool cafe in downtown San Jose.
So I woke up early this morning and was working on my computer. I like to sit in front of a space heater and blog (doesn’t get much better than that). I had a pillow on the floor with me when I started feeling something moving under the pillow. I ignored it after 2-3 times of feeling it until I lifted up the pillow to discover a lizard was under it which scared me good as I was not exactly expecting to see that by any means. Here is the video of my encounter and please note that no lizards were harmed during the making of this video so it is PETA friendly. OK I couldn’t help saying damn, I guess I was still stunned I was laying on top of a lizard…
