Business Insider

Here is why I subscribe to the Business Insider newsletter - lots of fun tidbits.

Facebook Investor Roger McNamee Explains Why Social Is Over - an interesting take on the state of the technology union and its future.

Then And Now: The Most Visited Domains Of 1996 And Today - Quite a few surprises.

Netflix Unveils Its Monkey Army - I think I work with some of these guys.

REAL OR FAKE: These Computer Generated People Look So Real You Won't Be Able To Spot The Humans - Almost scary - We got rid of dramas/sitcoms because writers are too expensive and soon reality TV shows will be too expensive, so we'll just let the computers generate the shows for us.

UMC Infant Baptism

I like the idea of infant baptism in the United Methodist Church. It is a commitment by the parents, but also by the church as a whole to raise the child in the faith. The congregational response:
"With God's help, we will so order our lives after the example of Christ that this child, surrounded by steadfast love, may be established in the faith and confirmed and strengthened in the way that leads to life eternal."
What an awesome responsibility and I am glad for the reminder every time we baptize a child.

Rules for Recruiting

As more information comes out about UT's NCAA woes (here, here, here), I have come up with the universal rules for recruiting.

1. Don't cheat.
2. If you cheat, don't get caught.
3. If you get caught, don't lie.

A modern day Ellis Wyatt?
