My Journal

I received a mail addressed to the right address but to a stranger's name.

It is one of those survey mails. From Arbitron ratings. "A Leader in TV and Radio Ratings".

In it attached 2 very new singles. That is $2.

A letter with a persuasion of getting $5 for filling out a further survey.

I've learned in America, that there are many unethical money making businessmen from big scale to the littlest nuisance. But this is the first, and of course the rare occasion, that I've 'accidentally' received free money of $2.

Perhaps I should complete the survey.

I've finally found the puzzle called 'the Brain' at the AMNH.

It's said to be an inspiration from Herodotus' mythological Atlantis' mysterious computer. Leading to the Gray's binary system which results in this puzzle.

I first saw it in Arkansas. I believed I have once found it on the web a few years back but had forgotten what and where it is until my recent visit to the museum.

I can open or close it in about 30 seconds each.

George Eastman (1854-1932), founder of Kodak company, committed suicide by shooting his heart.

I once heard a preacher commented how people saw the world hopelessly and became depressed enough to commit suicide, and using the example of the Kodak's former president.

However, I just came across the site where although the disease did caused George to be in a position that led to his depression, his suicide wasn't quite that of hopelessness...as his suicide note read:  My work is done. Why wait?

So what is it that justify the situation?

I see no justification. Because I believe there are more he could have done. God decides if our work is finished.
