At one point, the assassins find themselves facing tremendous odds, outnumbered ten to one. </p> <p>It seems insurmountable until you realize they only have to kill ten each.</p> <p>Programmers aren’t samurai, they’re not ninja, and they’re not rockstars, but cultivating skill is universal. There’s a lot to be learned from this movie</p> <ul><li>Bad tools can’t suppress skill. </li> </ul><blockquote> <p>No sword? - use a stick!</p> <p>No stick? - use a rock!</p> <p>No rock? - use your fists and feet.</p> </blockquote> <ul><li>A flurry of moves can be outweighed by a single well chosen stroke. Watch Kuranaga’s fight scenes. Every swing makes contact so he doesn’t really move. Measure twice and you need cut once.</li> <li>Economy of movement is even more important in long, arduous battles. A skilled practitioner knows when to expend and conserve their finite energy.</li> <li>The greatest talent is a talent for hard work. Samurai, in this film, were born into the role, but the pawn shops are filled with swords.</li> <li>Background doesn’t matter when good samurai are hard to come by</li> <li>Numbers can’t overcome skill.</li> </ul><blockquote> <p>I thought samurai would be fun but you bore me. You’re useless, even more useless in great numbers.</p> </blockquote>http://me.versustheinter.net/post/14550020151http://me.versustheinter.net/post/14550020151Wed, 21 Dec 2011 00:15:01 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwiowiLXl11qd9rxro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/kepler/news/kepler-20-system.html">NASA Discovers First Earth-size Planets Beyond Our Solar System</a></p> <blockquote> <p>NASA’s Kepler mission has discovered the first Earth-size planets orbiting a sun-like star outside our solar system</p> </blockquote>http://me.versustheinter.net/post/14520391379http://me.versustheinter.net/post/14520391379Tue, 20 Dec 2011 14:31:29 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lw47v0wlkn1qjpo3zo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><blockquote> <p><em>I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m from the Fire Nation, but you don’t need to be a firebender to know there’s something wrong in this nation when an air nomad, his waterbender girlfriend and her brother, a blind earthbender, and a Kyoshi warrior can save the world, but our kids can’t openly burn them to the ground.</em></p> <p><em>As Phoenix King, I’ll end Avatar Aang’s war on the Fire Nation.
