Declarative Statements

Okay - I think 2008 (like every other year) is the year of the shock statement.  And by shock statement, I mean saying your competitor is dead.  "Yahoo! is dead." "Facebook is dead." "Software is dead." "Steve Jobs is dead."  

Points for whoever knows the famous philosopher that said "The poet is dead."  Well, actually, the poet died at Auschwitz, but you get the idea.

In other news, I'm painfully oblivious to what's happening around me. Honestly, I woke up from a dream last night and wondered, "WTF?" until I realized I was dreaming actual scenes from my day and I couldn't figure out the context of anything.  Life without context is exceptionally strange.
