Foolishness

Is there a difference between arrogance and foolish arrogance?

I mean, I think of the confident end of the spectrum, with there being those who are confident (assume rightfully so through competence), those who are arrogant (though competent), and the those who are foolishly arrogant (where their impression of themselves goes beyond their competence). It's these last ones I think of and how their arrogance blinds them to what they aren't seeing. Bumbling along, blindly assuming they're right and everyone else is wrong.

But is there a difference between the last two? Can one be arrogant without being foolishly blind? I dunno, maybe... It's riding a fine line though.

Connecticut Hulu

I'll admit to being a little bit re-addicted to TV lately. I've been watching episodes of this and that on Hulu for, oh... well, let's just call it about a year.

Anyhoo, I just get a kick out of it every time I type the url in, seeing as how if you put a CT before the HULU you get Cthulu.

starts with popcorn

Since I've been making use of the popcorn popper a lot lately (I can't figure out whether it's an excuse to eat popcorn, butter, or salt), I've been looking at the popcorn a bit.

I'm pondering this popped shape and that popped shape, figuring out which ones I find appealing and those that aren't as appealing.

So of course with the magical power of teh intarwebs, I go on a search for high speed video of popcorn popping. Along the way, these nifty compilations (I like the propane ballon and water ballon on the face best. The karate chop gives me the woogies.)

Who was it that said "the only person who can make you feel inferior is yourself".... ???

'Cause today, I'm amending that to "the only person who you can trust to decide what is and is not bullshit, is yourself." It seems I've grown tired of taking people's word for it on this or that in work-related important stuff.

Skeptical of promises, I am.

Trust my own bullshit detector more, I will.
