It recently occurred to me that making eggs and making iPhones are really not too different.

30 August 2010
Introducing Passion I was at an event last week where the emcee asked people to introduce themselves by saying their name, how long they'd been involved with the group, and what their passion was.

11 August 2010
By now, you've probably heard the hubbub surrounding the joint proposal from Google and Verizon for their take on openness rules and the consumer Internet. If you haven't, you might take the time to read what they had to say in a recent Washington Post editorial. Needless to say, this move has caused quite a stir [...]
