I don’t always like music by a musician’s offspring. But when I do, I like Teddy Thompson and Damian Marley.

Decay of an Artist
Shane MacGowan, original singer of The Pogues. I would love to see this guy make a Facebook Timeline. Until then. Two songs (Spotify): long ago, more recent. I can’t be the only one to like the rough version better.

At my job, I’m the youngest programmer there
Youngest at 23 here. Then again, we’re four programmers and the oldest one is 25.
Is it just my imagination or is that cat writing in lisp?
They’re all in their 30’s while I’m 21. I’m pretty sure this is how they view me.

→ Why Steve Jobs Couldn’t Find a Job Today
Ask the question, “If Steve Jobs (or his clone) showed up at our company asking for a job – would we give him one?” Don’t forget, the Apple Board fired Steve Jobs some 20 years ago to give his role to a less creative, but more “professional,” John Scully. Mr. Scully was subsequently fired by the Board for creatively investing too heavily in the innovative Newton – the first PDA – to be replaced by a leadership team willing to jettison this new product market and refocus all attention on the Macintosh. Both CEO decisions turned out to be horrible for Apple, and it was only after Mr. Jobs returned to the company that its fortunes re-blossomed when the company replaced outdated industrial management philosophies with innovation. But, oh-so-close the company came to complete failure before re-igniting the innovation jets.
