– Robert Redford and failure; Sundance on Main St. didn’t make Philip Seymour Hoffman movie “A Most Wanted Man” instead a panel moderated by Sarah Lewis, included Dave Eggers, Jill Soloway and Mr. Redford; life stories about failure and how it was important to experience and move on towards successes.

– Civil unions as a compromise; Gov. Gary Herbert doesn’t get it. second class treatment doesn’t work. As I’ve commented on this before, we can’t keep treating others differently when it comes to all things, including marriage; George Takei called Herbert “mean spirited”

– Utah air quality; Salt Lake City worst in the nation this last week; over 4k people showed up to a rally at the Utah State Capital on Saturday; inversion hangs around for days and weeks; how bad does it have to be to top Los Angeles air quality; drive less, make fewer trips in the car; yes, hard to do during winter time when it’s 28 degrees and can’t bike or walk places; another reason I’m glad winter will be over soon.

– workers with bosses and co-workers; conference calls at work with 15 people on them and nothing gets accomplished; they go on for 40 mins, no progress; same thing every week for 6 weeks; all over the transfer of files.
– Winners of 50k tweets contest; hit 50k tweets last week; yes, I tweet a lot, although some that I follow are well past 200k tweets;

The thing I don’t get about Herbert and gay marriage is that so many celebrated it when Utah did make it legal, why does he think the state doesn’t want it?
He’s holding onto the original vote from 2004 and how many people (65%) voted for it. A lot has changed in the almost 10 years since, like people’s opinions of gay marriage and gays in general.
