Second Post

In lieu of any actual real content, I submit a link to Steve Jobs' commencement address at Stanford University. Short and well worth a listen:

It's true, only the second post in and I'm starting to regurgitate links! I am lost!

It's very easy to listen to these kinds of "go forth and LIVE" exortations, and get inspired to intend to live this way. But it's another thing entirely to get up the next morning, commit to it and grind it out, especially if the rest of society (including your family, friends, coworkers, et al) thinks you should be doing this instead, or that instead. And then when you wonder at night: "Maybe they're right -- what if I totally screwed it up?"

A speech like this serves not just those starting out into the world, but is useful to those that might need to re-examine whether we're still living our lives the way we intended to.
