He is risen!

Or something like that. So I hear.
Ok. That's about it for the religious aspect of our programming.
Now, on to what I did with MY day.
I woke up, went on a GREAT ride with Ian, then came home and chatted on the phone with my sister while Brutus and I sat in the sun (subtle note to those lookingto rent my condo: I have an actual backyard. Small, but real. You can sunbathe in it).
In a valiant attempt to avoid actually doing schoolwork, I listened to a cool podcast with the founder of Terracycle, Tom Szaky. We use their services at Frito Lay. I love it!:
"'You look at waste, and you say, 'Look there's no such thing as waste.' And then once you make that assumption then you say, 'Well, look, what are the features of the waste that are valuable?' You start thinking through that, and that gets you to the outcome, which is a product. You just have to look at what makes the waste interesting. What are their features? And then frankly from there it's not that hard. Then you look at how do those features overlap to products and then you can start to look, turn a saw blade into a clock. Turn an antiperspirant stick into a giant eraser. And I can keep giving you examples all day long."
Good stuff. Keep on keepin on, Tom.
And Happy Easter.
Or something.
