Gotta say, not as cool as Leopard’s or Snow Leopard’s.
There was a time, not long ago, when you could sum up each company quite neatly: Apple made consumer electronics, Google ran a search engine, Amazon was a web store, and Facebook was a social network. How quaint that assessment seems today.

Great #longread about the tech “Fab Four” and what the future holds (via @brainpicker)
I’m convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You’ve got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle.
Steve Jobs’s Stanford commencement address from 2005. If you haven’t read this, it is good time to do so. Inspiring.
If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later. Again, you can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
As Steve Jobs steps down, remembering what made him an extraordinary leader with his brilliant 2005 Stanford commencement address about the creative value of dot-connecting and cross-disciplinary curiosity.

A collection of all the things I like: The internet, physics & science, computer, ballet, books, photography, random connections and all kinds of geeky stuff.
