It was ~2000. I was in Malaysia. After a few email conversations with Aaron Swartz, I spoke to him once on the phone. I remember him saying “If I can do it, you can do it”. Maybe he added “with PHP and MySQL”

I was inspired … forever … that anything is possible on the web with PHP and MySQL

RIP Aaron

I am collecting links at pinboard – aaron + swartz

btw: Osho answers the question I always think of committing suicide, and wonder what you would say about my death?

There’s a benefit to being naïve to the norms of the world.

Deciding from scratch what seems like the right thing to do, instead of just doing what others do.

This one is “Give so much time to the improvement of yourself” – what a great follow up ;-)

It is the first part of Jim Rohn’s quotation

Give so much time to the improvement of yourself

that you don’t have time to criticize others

The legend has passed away .. The passing of a legend

Have compiled a list of 7 _inspiring_ Jim Rohn videos

We’re not here to tell you how to run your life when it comes to exercise, but just a minute or two a day can make all the difference.

Due to an unpostponable appointment, I will miss The Singapore Launch of Gurcharan Das’ magnum opus The Difficulty of Being Good: On the subtle art of Dharma

From wikipedia

You need two things: you must have the hunger for success and the desperation to achieve it. It’s as if your life won’t be complete until you succeed. That fundamental discontent has to be there. Got it?

In life, action is more important than thought
