(no subject)
I realized that I want to update this journal, but I've lost the urge to talk about most of my life here. After a few abandoned updates, I got the idea to make a list of personal heroes because Facebook doesn't allow me to express that. I'll divide them into a few categories too:
Heroes of Thought
Chris Crawford
Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Edmund Burke
Phoebe Sengers
Jorge Luis Borges
Kurt Godel
Alan Turing
Claude Shannon
Paul Erdos
Francis Bacon
Heroes of the Arts
Don DeLillo
John Milton
Will Wright
Sioxusie Sioux
Daniel Dumile (MF Doom)
Luigi Pirandello
Stefani Germanotta (Lady Gaga)
Ornette Coleman
Jaco Pastorius
David Lynch
Akira Kurosawa
Alan Moore
Karlheinz Stockhausen
Bill Watterson
George Orwell
Action Heroes
Aaron Ralston (Punched a bear in the face)
Pat Tillman (One of the most disgraceful stories in public-relations history, but I'm still impressed with him.)
Bill Gates & Steve Jobs (yes, two of the greatest entrepreneurs in history)
D.B. Cooper
Silly list; most of these people I'm too ill-informed to ever talk to should they either come back from the dead or know that I exist.
