great article by John Gruber over at Daring Fireball:

“Put another way, the obvious structure for a post-Jobs Apple is simply Apple as we know it, without Steve Jobs.”

i think he’s totally en pointe with regard to Apple’s CEO situation. if you’re at all interested in the future of technology, i highly recommend reading this article.

from WIRED:

Accept Defeat: The Neuroscience of Screwing Up

have faith in failure.  especially when it comes to building a team or the creative process, value mistakes, embrace them.  i always encourage young filmmakers to fail as often as possible in the beginning.  much better to fail on a 5-minute class project than on a $20,000 short after you graduate.  what many try to dismiss as useless or a waste of time may actually be the very thing that makes you a better filmmaker… better than you are now, maybe better than those filmmakers you already admire.
