1. There is a documentary called The Bridge, that captured the suicides of 23 people off the Golden Gate Bridge in 2004. It's an obviously controversial film that shows haunting images, but I thought it was well-made and portrays the subject respectfully.
2. A friend and I were talking about the immortality of online accounts and what happens to Gchats, FB status updates, etc, post mortem. I loathe to think of what happens to (and who can look through) my online existence after I go. We came up with the idea for a "self-destruct" service that once you die, so do your online accounts. Don't steal the idea, we had it first.
3. FYI: No to life-support, I want all my organs to go, and I'd like to be cremated, svp. Ashes are to be distributed in waters all around the world; I'd like to be a world traveler always.
4. I would like a party in memoriam upon my death, to which attendees should be asked to wear two different shoes.Why? Well, a couple years ago, my co-worker and friend, Samer, came up to me during the middle of the work day with a puzzled look on his face, pointing at my feet asking, "Dude, ok.. is this on purpose??"
I wore two completely different shoes and walked around all day without looking down, apparently.
