You can make something big when young that will carry you through life. Look at all the big startups like Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc. They were all started by very young people who stumbled on something of unseen value. You'll know it when you hit a home run.
Even if you do something that others might consider wrong, you should at least be willing to talk about it and tell your parents what you're doing because you believe it's right.
I have a calendar life that is complicated, so I use BusyCal and Google Calendar. I keep two different browsers open to avoid some confusion.
I just believe that the way that young people's minds develop is fascinating. If you are doing something for a grade or salary or a reward, it doesn't have as much meaning as creating something for yourself and your own life.
I think everything I have done in my life, my reasons at the time were right no matter how things worked out.
I'm surprised at the extent of the bigotry. But it really plays out when companies or schools take a side and prohibit the other platform at all. We Mac users should be good even when the other side is bad. We should do what we can to accept the other platforms.
I read Google News and use NetNewsWire to keep up with general and tech news.
The best things that capture your imagination are ones you hadn't thought of before and that aren't talked about in the news all the time.
If I designed a computer with 200 chips, I tried to design it with 150. And then I would try to design it with 100. I just tried to find every trick I could in life to design things real tiny.
If you try to make such projects, unseen by others, as perfect as any human could, you'll develop skills that other professionals don't have.
You know what, Steve Jobs is real nice to me. He lets me be an employee and that's one of the biggest honors of my life.
It would be nice to design a real briefcase - you open it up and it's your computer but it also stores your books.
In some parts of life, like mathematics and science, yeah, I was a genius. I would top all the top scores you could ever measure it by.
Creative things have to sell to get acknowledged as such.
My whole life had been designing computers I could never build.
I thought Microsoft did a lot of things that were good and right building parts of the browser into the operating system. Then I thought it out and came up with reasons why it was a monopoly.
I wish to God that Apple and Google were partners in the future.
My first transistor radio was the heart of my gadget love today. It fit in my hand and brought me a world of music 24 / 7.
The more we thought, the more they all sounded boring compared to Apple. You didn't have to have a real specific reason for choosing a name when you were a little tiny company of two people; you choose any name you want.
Atari is a very sad story.
