Did you know you can only fold a piece of paper in half 7 times?  Eight times if it’s a thin napkin or tissue.  If somehow you were able to fold it 42 times in half…it would stretch up to the moon.  Swear.  I tried to explain exponential growth to a friend.  They didn’t get it.  They could not believe I was serious…and they thought I was a fool for suggesting such.  To me, exponential growth is very easy to understand.  I can’t understand how some people can’t grasp such simple concepts.  Until…. 

 I didn’t know Jose Gonzalez was Swedish.  This is how badly I didn’t know Jose Gonzalez was Swedish.  I read there was a Swedish band coming out with their debut album and their name was Junip.  I thought this was strange because Jose Gonzalez had a band, too, called Junip.  I didn’t understand how there could be two bands with the same name…not that it hasn’t happened before.  (Just ask the 1960s Nirvana)  For some reason, I could not fathom it could be the same band…because for the life of me, I could not believe that Jose Gonzalez was from Sweden.  I knew he was from Europe.  But I thought the UK, Spain, or France.  Oh well…go Sweden.  I wonder if he ever gets in land battles with Royksopp.
