On a lighter note,

Positive things that happened today.

SpaceShipOne made it to the outer space.

Google stock briefly reached $135 today, the upper limit of what the company initially thought to be the price for the IPO, less than six weeks after the IPO when the price is lowered to $85.

IBM's supercomputer recaptures the title of world's fastest computer.

As much as those of us who like to be critical of the U.S. government policies, it is undeniable what a excellent country that we indeed live in. Is it fair we just happened to be born here, or that our parents or grand-parents worked so hard so we could grow up to be a part of this free society? Not really, but we should definitely appreciate what America has to offer. The three pieces of news today only highlighted the opportunities of creative endeavors and rewards a free country and a healthy economic system have to offer its bravest and brightest. I tip my hat to Burt Rutan, Sergey Brin, Larry Page, and people at IBM. They personifies the greatest inspiration of our time, Higher, Faster, and yet still Stay Connected.
