Ferry Tale: Fire Ants Aggregate into Living Rafts to Escape Floods: Scientific American – StumbleUpon. This is pretty impressive behavior. I wonder how much of coöperation we see in nature is coercion?

Apple Lisa 1 – Apple Computer, Inc. – StumbleUpon. This is fascinating. I have never seen the internals of a “Twiggy” drive before. It is strange to see the handwriting on it isn’t it?

Why You\’re Not Who You Think You Are | World of Psychology – StumbleUpon. This is interesting. It says that our sense of self is shaped by where we are and who we are with. This is almost an argument that we are all the same.

Has anyone else felt that what you are pursuing isn’t making you happy?

We Are Very Happy You Came

I have been sensing that often lately. It is odd that I have pursued things in my past, and when I achieve them I am not happy. It is not buying something material, but doing something as an achievement.

Perhaps its something that happens as you get older. You start to question if the things that you thought were important once, are still important. For example, I always wanted to understand something. Now that I have understood that small thing, it doesn’t feel like I imaged it would have. Sometimes I think the luckiest people are those who never achieve what they want. Then they always dream of the pleasures they will feel if they achieve it.

Maybe a wiser course of action is to listen to what my internal voice is telling me, and to act on that instead of mistakes of my past actions. Sounds crazy doesn’t it?
