if you found out today that the world was going to end in one month (a moon sized object is going to hit it), what would you do with your remaining time?
and an interesting addition: either only you know or its widely known/public knowledge. - bob
i would schedule a weekly crossfunctional meeting to prioritize the options - Keith Coleman
Why do you ask? - Clare Dibble
Yeah, is there something you're not telling us? - April Buchheit
haha, just thought it was interesting. if only you knew, would you tell other people? its probably going to make the last month on earth a lot different... - bob
haha, the only options i see are to either mess around on earth (enjoy remaining time, pray, etc - whatever, depending on priorities and beliefs) or possibly to work feverishly to try to launch some things/people off-planet (but one month doesnt seem like much time given how long it usually takes to do that sort of thing) - at any rate, with that large of an impact, not much will remain of the planet's surface, so digging a bunker is an exercise in futility. - bob
I agree with Keith. - Paul Buchheit
and if you decide to tell others - would you do it on Twitter or FriendFeed? - Aviv
I'd probably ramp down what I'm putting into my 401K. And eat more cake. Not necessarily in that order. - Adam Lasnik
Maybe this is Bob's way of telling us something we don't know... - Kevin Fox
Have a lot of ***, eat a lot of sweets, watch a lot of movies, and dance like hell - Varun Mahajan
After unsubscribing from Friendfeed and most of the rest of the internet, I would possibly get heavily drunk, party a lot, discuss, travel, hug friends and strangers, and have deep philosophical thoughts about the universe in general, and fast-flying moon sized objects in specific. - Philipp Lenssen
I would sit down and think it through for an hour or 2 - Warner Carter
I'd probably take the last week off from work. Hope it won't be during the summer, because then my allergies would probably be acting up. - Tormod Haugen
Cake? Sweets? If we're all going to die in a month, it's time to start thinking about heroin. - Seth
haha, exactly - im thinking that the world would stop running so smoothly as everyone starts skipping work - making it hard to spend money, buy food, travel, etc - unless of course, you wait awhile to tell everyone else... (not to mention all the crazy stuff that would probably start happening) - bob
First, I'd loot the supermarket and hardware store. Not to sound morbid, but before my mom died, I would have traveled cross country to get to her. But wow, this started off kinda morbid. But then again, so is the question. -- Have you read the book Towing Jehova? Interesting story where God is a corporeal being. Well, he died, and his body was floating in the ocean. The few angles left... more... - Robert Konigsberg

The most import thing to understand about new products and startups - http://paulbuchheit.blogspot.com/2008...
"Even if you aren't the smartest person around, and your product is kind of ugly and broken, you can still be very successful, if you just build the right product. YouTube and MySpace are both fine examples of this." Ouch, I hope the founders of YouTube don't read that :) - Huy Zing
Humility? I always thought the 3 traits of good programmers were impatience, laziness, and hubris ;-)... seriously, nice blog. - Rob Hoeting
...and a preference not to use perl, of course ;) - m13a

Yeah, it's important to understand that "listen" is not the same as "obey". "Observe your users" might be a better way of putting it, but that sounds so formal, and slightly creepy. - Paul Buchheit
If I'd asked people what they wanted, they would have asked for a better horse. - henry ford - paulm
"I sent it out to a few people for feedback, and they said that it was somewhat useful, but it would be better if it searched over their email instead of mine." lol. - j1m
i like the point about humility...i would take it a step further, in fact, and say that the key word is "service". this word encompasses both a personal attitude (serving others, with humility) and a market-based/need-based outlook rather than a product-based outlook (providing a service to potential users). that way you're focused on addressing an issue, rather than making a super... more... - Mike Massey
