“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.

iPhone HDR
Since I’m such a huge believer in always having a camera in tow, I’ve been thrilled with the photography improvements from my two-year old iPhone 3g to the new iPhone 4. And now, with iOS 4.1, Apple has introduced in-camera HDR capabilities.
What’s HDR? The quick answer is that it combines multiple exposures to create an image more like what your eyeballs see, so instead of typical photos where you might have super dark shadows, or a sky that is white instead of blue, you get a more dynamic, colorful image.
So how does the iPhone do? I’d say the results are pretty good! Here are some photos I took at Rose Park in Georgetown.
