Philip Gale was an American Internet software developer and a sophomore at MIT.

He gained recognition for developing Total Access while at MIT and was hired by EarthLink at 16 to further its development.

By 17, Gale had earned approximately a million dollars.

In 1995, Gale's father died from a heart attack, and friends said Gale struggled to come to terms with the loss.

On March 13, 1998, Gale jumped to his death from a classroom on the 15th floor of a building on the MIT campus.

Before he jumped he wrote Isaac Newton's equation for how an object accelerates as it falls on a blackboard along with a sketch of a stick figure tossing a chair. He signed it, "Phil was here".

His suicide note read:

Presumably I have jumped from a tall building. Yes, it is odd. To tell you why would be to tell you my mind! I cannot do this. I am not crazy, albeit driven to suicide. "It is not about any single event, or person. It is about stubborn sadness, and a detached view of the world. I see my life — so much dreary, mundane, wasted time wishing upon unattainable goals — and I feel little attachment to the future. But it is not so bad, relatively. I exaggerate. "In the end, it is that I am unwilling (sick of living) to live in mediocrity. And this is what I have chosen to do about it. "The saddest part is the inevitable guilt and sorrow I will force on my family and friends. But there is not much I can say. I am sorry. Try to understand that this is about me and my 'fuked up ideas.' It is not because I was raised poorly or not cared for enough. It just is. "Please give my $ to my family and my gizmos to people who will use them. — and no fuking suing! "I am scared of the fall. I am scared of the impact. But when it is through, it will be through. "take care world, Philip"

JUST IN: Massive fire breaks out at the historic Oceanside Pier in California about 40 min north of San Diego city.

The fire appears to be at the location of Ruby's Restaurant, a diner which is permanently closed.

Fire fighting boats are on the scene however they are having a very difficult time putting out the fire.

According to NBC 7, the roof on a small structure next to the Ruby's diner building collapsed.

The original pier was build in 1888

The city of Oceanside spent $5.5 million last year to upgrade the 1,954 foot long pier by replacing old pipes and electrical systems.

A healthy V02 max is the key to living a long life.

But most people don't know what it is or how to improve it.

My goal is in 2024 is to improve my V02 max so I can live to 100+ years old.

Here's my plan to make it happen (steal this):
