I think this concept rocks! It makes so much sense in One World.

A few of the T.O. Crew were in Chi Town for a close friend’s Stag! We had a blast and a merry time was had by all… Above is a picture of my breakfast at a local Chicago hot spot – the pancakes were out of this world – I had the Banana Chocolate Crème Brule single order and savoured every last bite…

You can tell that they both exchanged words but “Italian” dude kept at it for a bit longer! What a finish that was. I have to say one of the best World Cups I have ever seen… wicked cool…

So a bunch of Text and Face recognition engineers have come together to rid the world of painful online picture searches (Have you ever tried to search of a specific pictures only to realize that it’s labeled 00018765NH. jpg?). They are busy building a new type of photo search that uses technology to look inside and automatically tag pictures. Once accomplished this should be a truly revolutionary solution.

The company is named after the founder’s daughter – Riya. The name is very South Asian (Big Up to the boys in Brown!). I hear they secured 15 million in VC funding… good for them. Now wow us!

Observations I have made about educated people:

Live in their box of education only

Close off their minds to other life possibilities

Always say “No” – Because it’s the easiest thing to say

Never accept responsibility

Always get someone else to do his or her work

Never come up with any original ideas

Always find fault in others

Spend exorbitant time thinking up plans but never execute

Lie with a smile

Are never satisfied with the money they have

Live for material gain

Pretend to be worldly and sophisticated

Never provide a simple answer to a problem

Talk about themselves and their family only

Hate change when they are not the change agents

Poke fun at others to hide their stupidity

Do not keep it simple

Always complain about their situation in life

Keep people below them to feel important

Hunt for the next big promotion

Put a meaning to the color of the Canadian flag in the comments section.

Red - The total amount of bribes paid out through the Sponsorship Scandal

White - The growing gun violence in Canada

Below is an email excerpt from a friend who was flying the skies of Morocco a few days back. If you want to see additional pictures please click through from my flickr.com album on the right column of this Blog.

“We had the opportunity to see Casablanca (in transit) and Rabat (the capital) which is where we flew out of.
For those contemplating on a trip to the African continent i definitely recommend a stop in Casablanca/Rabat. It’s a beautiful place with a long
line of beaches overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. (see picture)

The Moroccan delicacy is CousCous or Tajine…a sort of stewed dish of vegetable meat etc…They seem to
love Olives in that part of the world and there’s tons of Olive gardens around. Your guaranteed to be
presented a plate of Olives as an appetizer when you visit any restaurant…some are even pickled with a spicy twist to it!”

Aljazeera.Net – Poll results

The Arab world has a very different view on key political events… They also seem to love Quick Polls!

All eyes open
