Albert Einstein

From the page: "He was the embodiment of pure intellect, the bumbling professor with the German accent, a comic cliché in a thousand films. Instantly recognizable, like Charlie Chaplin's Little Tramp, Albert Einstein's shaggy-haired visage was as familiar to ordinary people as to the matrons who fluttered about him in salons from Berlin to Hollywood. Yet he was unfathomably profound -- the genius among geniuses who discovered, merely by thinking about it, that the universe was not as it seemed."

"Sometimes one pays most for the things one gets for nothing."

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."

"Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding."

"Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts."

Just something pretty...

Near Willow City, Texas Hill Country, 1998
Photograph by Vincent J. Musi
"Deep in the heart of Texas, the Hill Country's limestone heights bend with the Balcones Escarpment and unfold west for some 200 miles [322 kilometers]...nowhere else in Texas is the show of wildflowers, such as purple vervain and fiery Indian blanket, more profuse--and striking--than here."

(Text from and photograph shot on assignment for, but not published in, "Texas Hill Country," April 1999, National Geographic magazine)

Worst Company URLs

From the page: "The top 10 unintentionally worst company URLs

Attn: Entrepeneurs
Everyone knows that if you are going to operate a business in today's world you need a domain name. It is advisable to look at the domain name selected as other see it and not just as you think it looks. Failure to do this may result in situations such as the following (legitimate) companies who deal in everyday humdrum products and services but clearly didn't give their domain names enough consideration:

1. A site called `Who Represents` where you can find the name of the agent that represents a celebrity. Their domain name... wait for it... is
www.whorepresents.com

2. Experts Exchange, a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views at
www.expertsexchange.com

3. Looking for a pen? Look no further than Pen Island at
www.penisland.net

4. Need a therapist? Try Therapist Finder at
www.therapistfinder.com

5. Then of course, there's the Italian Power Generator company...
www.powergenitalia.com

6. And now, we have the Mole Station Native Nursery, based in New South Wales:
www.molestationnursery.com

7. If you're looking for computer software, there's always
www.ipanywhere.com

8. Welcome to the First Cumming Methodist Church. Their website is
www.cummingfirst.com

9. Then, of course, there's these brainless art designers, and their whacky website:
www.speedofart.com

10. Want to holiday in Lake Tahoe? Try their brochure website at
www.gotahoe.com"
