Ben Stiller Rocks, Its seems as if he is putting together a great twitter campaign. In a short time he will reach close to a millions followers. Have you seen him speak to Ryan Seacrest about giving him a shout out on his twitter page so he can get more followers LOL its the funnest video i have ever seen

I think that Mickey Rooney had two good points. 1) "Does it make you happy?" 2) No one can know everything.

I don't think that "Does that make you happy?" should be the final question on whether you do something or not. There are things that none of us like doing but we do anyway, because either a) it is part of something that does make us happy (I would put changing a diaper, etc in this category. No one really likes changing a diaper, but we do it because we like being with the kids and changing a diaper is part of the deal.) Or b) it is something that is needed, and although we don't directly get much of out of it, we believe that it should be done anyway (some would put taxes here, or giving a donation to a local park or museum). All of that is an aside to say that does something make us happy is a decent question, as long as it is in context of other questions.

The second part probably more directly addresses our problems of what it is that computers make us think we can do. No matter how much time we have or how much computer processing power attached to us, we still are less than God.
