Things learned in 2011

Our perspective changes so much as we grow and as time passes that all personal accounts of changes are skewed. There is no vantage point from which our existence and story can be told accurately – nor should there be.
School, education and learning are very different things (and perhaps related in the same way as church, religion and faith are); I had failed to find this out for twenty years.
Enough things about networking to set up a home router and a tor node, and many ways in which either one won’t work.
An interrogative tone and a question mark are not enough to make a sentence a true question. (Are they not? =)
The language I learn and use affects the way I see and experience the world;
Bicycle races can be fun and the fun is quadrupled if you stand no chance of winning.

And some enlightenment in Suso Baleato’s words live on stage on December 28th:

I am not trying to win nothing;
I am trying to increase the quality of the liberation.
