fast and slow running geniuses

Steve from "Coupling" may be right, by 30 you know you're never going to be rich, famous, or a rock star (can someone help me with the exact quote).. or is he? Found this article in Wired about conceptual vs. experimental geniuses and it describes a theory that there are two types of talent: some creators (artistic/creative, business, scientific, anything) have a definite idea in mind and produce their best work at early ages (Picasso, Munch, Fitzgerald) and others work towards an indefinite goal, developing their best work after much trial and error at later ages (Hitchcock, Pollock, Twain).

It's an interesting idea, and heartening to a late bloomer like me who is still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up. Not that I think I'm a genius, but I'll admit to being a tinkerer and experimenter.

well, this is just wrong

Not safe for work, not safe for your kids, but screamingly funny and addictive. danicia, you might want to consider posting some of yours...

Ok, really tired now. So, to bed..
