you can always trust bears

The title of this post is not a wise message, and is not true whatsoever.
That said, if you are looking to staticalaska for wisdom, you must be either desperate or misguided. Let me guide you somewhat: Kevin Nguyen and the folks at the bygone bureau might be more helpful in that regard (though wisdom might not always be the best word for it), and if you have some time for lectures, watching something on TED is generally about a twice a week occurrence for me.
