There’s a great story about Pablo Picasso. Some guy told Picasso he’d pay him to draw a picture on a napkin. Picasso whipped out a pen and banged out a sketch, handed it to the guy, and said, “One million dollars, please.”

And so they stopped being funny. “Every few years, you have, when you’re lucky, a correction on television and in the movies with how people actually talk and actually think. And it feels like a revelation.

Interestingly timed article on people leaving Facebook (I just joined this week).

I don’t really have a fully formed opinion on Facebook yet, though it’s been interesting to observe it as someone coming so late to the party. My initial reaction is simply “too much noise.” I guess that makes me the ideal candidate for Facebook Light?
