So OkCupid posted an article - The Big Lies People Tell In Online Dating.
Where they went and "trended" data from their website to address the typical dating myths such lying about your height and posting outdated pictures.
Now I'm a sucker for statistical things like this, and I must give them credit for having some sneaky strategies to debunk these myths. Like getting into the text tags created by cameras for the pictures uploaded on the site to see how "vintage" they were.
Kind off topic but my favorite statistics related website is by far - GapMinder. Where they've compiled a lot of statistical data(mostly from UN) from around the world and provided a very cool visualization tool or you to play around and trend things like CO2 emissions or HIV rates around the world over different parameters. The guy who developed the software,Hans Rosling, also has lots of cool videos on the site. His big thing is "dispelling common myths about the so-called developing world". Of course, statistical data is easy to screw to fit your argument, but I still really like what he has to say.
Things like this make me think that maybe I should consider statistics for grad school. Who knows...

I'm big on quotes and all sorts of inspirational sayings, this is one of my favorite videos from that series. It's based on an article from Chicago Tribune from 1997, in which the author says that this would be the commencement speech she would give if she were asked to give one.
"...I will dispense this advice now.
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded. But trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You are not as fat as you imagine.
Don't worry about the future. Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blindside you at 4 p.m. on some idle Tuesday.
Do one thing every day that scares you.
Sing.
Don't be reckless with other people's hearts. Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.
Floss.
Don't waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long and, in the end, it's only with yourself.
Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults. If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.
Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank statements.
Stretch.
Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't.
Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees. You'll miss them when they're gone.
Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance. So are everybody else's.
Enjoy your body. Use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it or of what other people think of it. It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.
Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your living room.
Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.
Do not read beauty magazines. They will only make you feel ugly.
Get to know your parents. You never know when they'll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings. They're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.
Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young.
Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard. Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. Travel.
Accept certain inalienable truths: Prices will rise. Politicians will philander. You, too, will get old. And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.
Respect your elders.
Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund. Maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse. But you never know when either one might run out.
Don't mess too much with your hair or by the time you're 40 it will look 85.
Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.
But trust me on the sunscreen. "

So.. I've sort of never used this for anything useful and forgot I've actually created this blog years ago. Until, today I decided to actually maybe start a blog and when I tried to join I discovered I already had an account. I don't really have a direct theme or purpose to why I want to start one either... But I figured that it would be fun to post some things that I enjoy/find funny and maybe later look back at them as I used to my long abandoned LJ.
So.. Today I have off. Having off on weekdays is actually kind of awesome, because while everyone else is having "a case of mondays" you are enjoying your day. Of course, this comes at price of having to work the whole weekend while everyone else was enjoying them selfs. How I eneded up at this job? I'm not really sure to be honest. I just know that I found myself graduating with a degree in Biology, which I worked pretty hard on, full all ambitious how I was smarter than all of those Business majors (who all already had jobs by graduation, btw) and how I was going to get an awesome job and enjoy my life as a young professional, move to the city.... yada yada yada. I was slapped with the hard reality of the current economic condition and lack of jobs for people who already HAD experience... So, I heard that a couple of my friends were working at this pharmaceutical company, and that they were still hiring. I never really wanted to do anything with pharmaceutics but it was beginning of August and the excitement sitting at home all day long has kind of wearing off... So I got this "temporary" job that I'm still doing a year later... I guess I shouldn't complain because it could be a lot worse, and it is for some people that I know. Either way, I'm kind of used to 12 hour shifts, no nail polish and wearing sneakers to work everyday....
I'm sure the glamorous life of a Pharmaceutical Technical Specialist would bore you to death(as i does me), so I am not going to go much into the details of WHAT it is that I do... but let's just say that it doesn't really require much brain cells, which is also a good description of a whole bunch of people who work there. Which leads to lost of funny and not so "funny" stories...
I guess, for now, besides my random ramblings, I'll use this to post interesting stuff that I bump into online (that would be the same reason that I started to use Google Buzz, and Twitter but never kept them up)
P.S. My spelling and grammar and not perfect, I'm well aware of that. I also HATE proofreading what I write.. so love it or leave it :)
