At the age of seventeen, I listened to the John Coltrane Quartet, focusing on McCoy Tyner’s work, feeding Coltrane harmonic and rhythmic ideas to springboard off of - and I developed an approach to guitar playing based off of it. This happened because Phil turned me on...

The best tribute you can offer in Phil Lesh’s memory is to show up slightly late to a work meeting because you had to finish listening to the 8/6/74 “Eyes of the World”
RIP Phil Lesh. I've been a Deadhead my whole adult life. I don't have the words right now to explain how much the music and community that this man helped create has meant to me, but I surely am grateful for it. Ride on Phil. If you see a Deadhead this weekend, give them a hug.

iPad feature request: auto "deep sleep" after 24 hours idle (10 seconds to wake is okay). iPads used to last over 30 days on standby, but every time I pick one up now after less than a week it's dead
Steve Jobs announcing the iPad 2:
Having personally targeted Lawful Intercept systems at a number of US companies, I am not surprised these backdoors are key targets. They give real time location, call detail records, internet traffic, e911, backend backhaul infrastructure access, etc. From my perspective, the controls around these are too home-rolled, lack central oversight and standardization, and will continue to be a major target.
The massive question of civil liberties aside, these systems are key to identifying and preventing nation-state level threat actors targeting Western infrastructure and companies, especially in the event of a wider conflict. More oversight is needed by independent committees vs. pretending these systems don't exist.
It's midnight in Georgia...the moment we've been waiting for!
