Re: believe in yourself. Steve: "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." http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Steve_Jobs I'd agree with that with one caveat: sharpen and practice your inner skeptic, use it to double-check your heart and intuition, as they can be tricked by dogmas both old and new.
Astrology corp sues, shuts down Olson timezone database. http://j.mp/astrovtz via @selenamarie @petdance. I say: stop giving $ to dogma/myths. Need something to believe in? Start with yourself. Find inspiration where you find it, but spend your time and money creating, building, and empowering. longlink: http://www.thedailyparker.com/PermaLink,guid,c5f28bae-4b9c-41ea-b7b7-8891ad63c938.aspx

broke down in KTVU 2 interview: vimeo.com/30150195 (also ktvu.com/video/29402825 Flash video :( but was on ktvu.com home page). I was of the Apple ][, ][+, and //e generation, eventually embracing Macintosh as well. Those products inspired me to create, to empathize with users, to build tools for independents and independence, and eventually, open web standards. From square brackets to angle brackets.
