You don't notice the referee during the game unless he makes a bad call.

I love Sweden. The entire world should be like Sweden. They all like to drink and get naked, and the women are hot. I can't think of a better nation on the planet.

We usually break our records every Monday, so we'll see what turns up tonight after midnight. Next month it'll probably be higher, which is always weird.

I'm actually an evil bastard in real life. Fark allows me to vent weirdness. Thank god for that, too.

24 hour broadcasts have to stretch limited material to fit 24 hours worth of space.

ESPN has this problem with sports, it's impossible to fill 24 hours with sports programming so they have to resort to things like poker and arm wrestling tournaments.

I think anytime you start relying on a format to get you by you've got weak material to begin with.

I'm not really sure what I'd like to see people doing more of online, but what I'd like to see less of is the warning signs that not ratifying net neutrality is gonna cause two separate nets: one that the big dogs can afford to be on and the other a ghetto internet that no one goes on. Think FM vs AM radio, or cable vs broadcast TV.

If I see anything remotely like a telcom-run faster internet that you have to pay more to get preferential traffic on, I'm out folks. I've seen this story before, I ran an ISP back in the late 90s.

It takes people to move crowds in the right direction, crowds by themselves just stand around and mutter.

Journalism is straying into entertainment. The lines between serious news segments, news entertainment, and news comedy are blurring.

Most people I've talked to are convinced that they're not getting valuable information from news media anymore. I'm not talking about tinfoil-hatters either, these are intelligent people who believe their news media has failed them.

Most people treat the news media like the exercise bike they have in their basement. They're glad it's there but they never use it.

On the Internet, news is consumed a la carte. If someone shows up on the main page of a website and doesn't see anything of interest, they leave. This negatively impacts ad revenues. The solution on the Internet is to pack news websites full of things that will draw people in, regardless of whether they are news or not.

Personally I'm hoping to spend the last years of my life plugged into a real life MMORPG simulation that makes me think and feel like I'm 18 again while my 90 year old body lies in a tube somewhere getting fed thru an IV. Be a great way to finish up a life.

The 'wisdom of the crowds' is the most ridiculous statement I've heard in my life. Crowds are dumb.

Dont fight the patent fight the infringement.

Look to the past and remember no empire rises that sooner or later wont fall.

Was I believer in Enron Corporation? Yes, sir, I was.

Trophies should go to the winners. Self-esteem does not lead to success in life. Self-discipline and self-control do, and sports can help teach those.

One of my favorite days, yes. All day, massaging Harrison Ford. That was rough.

Don't let anything stand in the way of you claiming and manifesting the life that you choose rather than the life you have by default.

If you've broken the eggs, you should make the omelette.

I like to do an interview when the other person isn't expecting it. I find it's more spontaneous.

I have looked back on situations and thought that I could have handled a few differently and probably better.

But in practice, if often comes down to not suffering a loss as big as the huge gain you made a while ago.

I believe the target of anything in life should be to do it so well that it becomes an art.

Dogma and shrinking from the external world are at one limit of the range of belief. At the other are science and poetry and indeed reality.

I actually think one of my strengths is my storytelling.

It can never be satisfied, the mind, never.

Everything else was unemotional and uninspiring. We played very poor baseball.

Our best hits are real-estate stories, going back to our first, JoJo in 1991.

Good moodsre as fragile as eggs...Bad moodsre as fragile as bricks.

I always want objects in my home that have a connection to me or something I've loved. It's still stuff, but it's stuff that has meaning.

Let's make this clear: I do not hate anybody.

God hath given to man a short time here upon earth, and yet upon this short time eternity depends.

I feel very blessed to have a partner in life who supports me, who is enthusiastic about what I want to do, who has been a great father, and who will be a fabulous grandfather.

To have someone who never makes a mistake, never finds her personal life in disarray, never worries about work-life balance? I think that would be unreal. What I'm writing is real.

I'm no saint. I'm no angel. I never proclaimed to be.

We sell tea in Starbucks, but I think the experience is very different. I think coffee is something that is quick - it's transactional. I think tea is more Zen-like. It requires a different environment.

History is littered with wars which everybody knew would never happen.
