Wise Words by Steve Jobs:
“[...] Life can be much broader, once you discover one simple fact, and that is that everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you. And you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use. Once you learn that, you’ll never be the same again.”

“Diego Stocco turned sandbags from his backyard into musical genius. The entire track is created entirely out of tuned sand tones. He emphasized the inner notes of the sand grains and mapped them on a sampler as a series of instruments.“

Optimism is a strategy for making a better future. Because unless you believe that the future can be better, it’s unlikely you will step up and take responsibility for making it so. If you assume that there’s no hope, you guarantee that there will be no hope. If you assume that there is an instinct for freedom, there are opportunities to change things, there’s a chance you may contribute to making a better world. The choice is yours.

Yesterday I recieved a notification that my “Personal Annual Report for 2008″ for my Dopplr account is available and awaiting my download – but until now I didn’t found time to actually have a look at it…
… only in order to learn:
- You [me] took 8 trips in 2008, which added
up to 43,602 km or 12% of the distance to the moon.- In 2008, you [me] spent 339 Day at Home [and] 27 travelling.
… resulting in:
Your personal velocity for 2008 was 4.97
km/h, which is about the same as a duck.
What’s your velocity?
LOVE IT!!!
