We are a generation of makers. A generation of creators.

“Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.”
-Steve Jobs, Stanford Commencement Adress, 2005
Apple Store, Palo Alto. Rest In Peace, Steve.
“Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
Best App Store purchase in a long time: NBA Jam! A throwback to the SNES days, plus I can play with my all-time favorite duo of John Stockton and Karl Malone. Boomshakalaka!
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
Steve Jobs, in one of the best speeches I’ve ever read: his commencement address at Stanford University.

Tech Community, are we MTV or TED?
A fantastic article in the Washington Post, “Tech Community, are we MTV or TED,” which explores something I’ve been thinking a lot about. In a community that loves to think of itself as world-changing, why then, “…are so many great developers spending their time trying to create products specifically designed to addict and help us waste our time?”
It’s a well-written, thought-provoking piece, and one that has the power to potentially shock the tech world into returning to its roots of building things that truly matter.
