Today's movie was The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill. Very highly recommended.

Totally random, but it made me smile.

Volunteering at a free spay/neuter clinic this morning ... quite an experience.

Originally shared by Guy Kawasaki (Fri02) If there was ever a time to read The Macintosh Way , this is it. I wrote this book right after I left Apple. In it, I explained what the Macintosh division was trying to do. Get a free PDF of the book (the rights reverted to me) here: http://guykawasaki.typepad.com/TheMacintoshWay.pdf

There have been more iconic photographs taken of Steve Jobs than almost anyone, but this is one of my favorites. It was taken at Steve's house in 1982, by the noted photojournalist Diana Walker. "All you needed was a cup of tea, a light, and your stereo, you know, and that’s what I had.” —Steve Jobs
