To the past, or to the future. To an age when thought is free. From the Age of Big Brother, from the Age of the Thought Police, from a dead man… Greetings.
Winston in George Orwell’s “Nineteen Eighty-Four”

Here’s to the crazy ones

Here’s to the crazy ones.
The misfits.
The rebels.
The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes.

The ones who see things differently.
They’re not fond of rules.
And they have no respect for the status quo.
You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.

About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them.
Because they change things.
They invent.
They imagine.
They heal.
They explore.
They create.
They inspire.
They push the human race forward.
Maybe they have to be crazy.

How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?

We make tools for these kinds of people.

While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

RIP Steve Jobs

Pushing the envelope with GMail

Received the following messages from GMail today, a few seconds from each other:

“Permanently delete 80944 conversations from Trash?”

“Oops… the system encountered a problem (#767) - Retrying now”

Temporary Error (503): We’re sorry, but your Gmail account is temporarily unavailable.

Sailing towards the storm

Catched this photo right before the storm hit us and the other boat. Fifteen seconds later we lowered sails and sailed for one hour through the storm.

Loving “Gone for Good” by The Shins

If it was important, your phone would have rung. Now get back to work.

Returning from trip to the Greek islands.

Sailing in close reach (greek “ανοιχτή όρτσα”) at 8.6 knots and a heel (inclination) of ~15°.

Sailed from Paxoi islands to beautiful Parga. Off for some fresh fish now.
