The most terrifying fact of the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent; but if we can come to terms with this indifference and accept the challenges of life within the boundaries of death — however mutable man may be able to make them — our existence as a species can have genuine meaning and fulfillment.
However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light.
— Stanley Kubrick
Steve Jobs has stepped down as CEO of Apple Inc.
It had been a dream of mine for some time to go to WWDC, to experience a keynote given by him.
First and foremost, I hope and pray that he is okay. One can not help but speculate as to the reasons for his departure.
At the same time, I am curiously looking forward to Cook’s reign at Apple, to see how he pulls the teams together and leads the company into the future. There is a lot of talent at Apple.
Finally, I am inspired. Steve Jobs is an incredible leader, innovator, and inspiration to his team, his co-workers, his fans, and many aspiring artists, technologists, and entrepreneurs around the world. I find myself challenged not to be him, but to take on the best of him — his standards, his vigor, his passion — so that I might be the same in my life, my work, my art.
Thank you for your legacy, Steve.

I’ve moved the blog from pure Jekyll to Octopress, which is basically a pre-built, custom Jekyll stack. I wish I would’ve found this when I first migrated my blog.
I highly recommend checking it out here.
In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the new. The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations, the new needs friends…
