Anytime I get caught up in working too hard, I look at this photo of Steve. He’s not looking at his magnificent invention called the Apple computer, but rather the picture on it; his wife and kid.

Cash Money - Birdman (entertainer)

Wed, 04 Apr 2012 11:40:00 -0400

In early 2010, Birdman formed an oil and gas exploration company, Bronald Oil and Gas, LLC. The company was a joint venture founded by Birdman and his brother Slim, and the name was a combination of the brothers’ first names, Bryan and Ronald. Evidence of the company’s actual business operations was scant, limited mostly to a website and the appearance of a “pumpjack” tattoo on the side of Birdman’s head.^[16] The website indicated that the company’s strategy would be to first develop existing land holdings and seek out new oil and gas leases. In February 2010, Birdman toldOzone magazine that he had been in the oil business for “4 or 5 years” and was “making good money off that”.^[17] However, by March 2010, Birdman had almost completely covered the pumpjack tattoo, which sparked speculation that the Bronald Oil project had stalled.^[18] As of January 22, 2012, the Bronald Oil website is no longer operational.

My Dad likes to invent things. His latest one is simple. Cutting an onion? Wear swimming goggles to prevent tears, and then try to hold a conversation with your son…

The creative battle

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 23:56:00 -0500

“The willing endurance of pain is a key factor not only in human dignity, but also in human creativity. It would seem to follow that individuals who spend their lives in the persistent avoidance of pain are not likely to amount to much… The process of achieving their professional level is usually full of pain. Such mastery demands endless practice of technical operations, endless assaults on seemingly ineluctable concepts, humiliation by teachers, anxious and exhausting competition with peers. To gain such mastery, one must face the sting of pertinent criticism, the shock of a thousand minor failures, and the nagging fear of one’s own un-improvable inadequacy. A tiny minority gets through to the top, to memorable excellence or profound understanding. The rest of us stop along the way, perhaps for a temporary rest, perhaps for a period of reassessment. But once we stop, we are unlikely to start up again. Security is suddenly far sweeter than enterprise” - Prof Robert Grudin

This is what drives me every single day.

If our new daughter can make ill beats like this, we will get along just fine. Even if she can’t we will still get along just fine.

““The Motion Picture Association of America, which is counting on Mr. Dodd to revive its diminished influence, announced that he would take over on March 17 as its chairman and chief executive. The job, which will pay about $1.5 million a year, will require Mr. Dodd to push a Hollywood agenda in Washington that includes a more aggressive government stance against piracy and an effort to persuade China to lift limits on the distribution of Western movies.””
