When I left my first job in Japan, one of my coworkers gave me a fairwell gift of a small set of toy cars with a jump ramp. Kenny is now playing with it. I noticed that the cars were abstracted models of real Japanese cars and looked up the "510 Bluebird" from Nissan.

What an insanely great looking car. Where are all the great designs, today?

My grandfather once told me that there are two kinds of people: those who work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group; there was less competition there.
