That’s a very limited life. Life can be much broader, once you discover one simple fact, and that is that everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you. And you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use. Once you learn that, you’ll never be the same again.”<br/><br/> - <em>Steve Jobs, in a 1995 <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=UvEiSa6_EPA" target="_blank">interview</a>, while he was still at NeXT.</em>http://simianaudio.com/post/13761284091http://simianaudio.com/post/13761284091Mon, 05 Dec 2011 15:38:00 +1300inspirationquotessteve jobsmotivation“Vision without execution is hallucination.”<br/><br/> - <em>Thomas Edison.</em>http://simianaudio.com/post/13746398680http://simianaudio.com/post/13746398680Mon, 05 Dec 2011 10:50:00 +1300inspirationquotesthomas edisonmotivation<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_luzvraugoQ1qz7071o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Blue and Yellow Macaw. </strong>From <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/0811861538/" target="_blank">Creatures</a> by <a href="http://www.andrewzuckerman.com/" target="_blank">Andrew Zuckerman</a>.</p>http://simianaudio.com/post/13100546167http://simianaudio.com/post/13100546167Mon, 21 Nov 2011 18:11:00 +1300photographyphotoanimalsnaturebirdsandrew zuckerman<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lumwvfdr4V1qz7071o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Rhino Gets A Ride. </strong>For some endangered rhinos, a 1,000-mile road to rescue from poachers starts with a helicopter ride — hanging upside down, blindfolded and sedated.
