today is the 20th.

today's daytona500 was won by 20-year-old trevor bayne who drove like an old pro - his blocking move on the last lap showed a great combination of instinct and skill - and was suitably humble and well-spoken in his post race interview. although michael waltrip did win the truck race this weekend, he can't seem to win a cup race anymore (and started this giant wreck today) so i need a new driver to follow. mr bayne may be just the ticket.


speaking of 20-yo's doing big things, mark zuckerberg. wonder if he's a calculating jerk who finds it convenient to behave like a socially stilted computer scientist or if he's actually socially inept and simply comes off as a jerk. manipulative or manipulated? user or used? yeah, it's probably not that simple at all, but i can tell you one thing for sure after watching "the social network" - that movie doesn't deserve a bunch of a awards. it was fine as far as entertainment goes, but it didn't have a groundbreaking plot or a compelling script or dynamic acting. from what i understand, the story as shown in the film isn't even a true portrayal, so if they were going to make up a bunch of shit, they really could have done better than to remake "oxford blues".
